This legal fiction isn't too preposterous. I mean, chattel slaves would have engaged in subsistence agricultural. That act would have been simultaneously voluntary and involuntary. And no doubt it would have been contemplated by the authors of the 13th Amendment.

Is there a 13th Amendment argument to be made against AI companies ripping off our shit? I guess we'd need to create some legal fiction that the same "servitude" could be both "voluntary" and "involuntary." We've certainly come up with weirder legal fictions than that.

I lack the words to capture it, but ... it's just endlessly remarkable to me that so many people in our society have chosen trans kis -- TRANS KIDS, the smallest, least significant, most vulnerable demographic slice you could possibly pick -- as a repository for all their fears & insecurities.

Are we at war with Russia?
