Innovations and Slavery

Innovations like the bicycle with different-sized wheels and milk in bags were born out of necessity or cost considerations rather than for efficiency. This highlights how sometimes innovative ideas do not always become mainstream. The conversation then transitioned to the topic of slavery, noting that current slavery rates are at an all-time high with over 40 million slaves globally, a fact often overlooked. The discussion also touched on the historical context of slavery, including the internal enslavement in Haiti, steering the conversation towards acknowledging the prevalence of modern-day slavery.
