gollark: Even if you can live entirely on those, it would be unhealthy and thus worsen the slaves, and producing that at the necessary scales would still be polluting.
gollark: But climate change is caused by greenhouse gases, which slaves produce, as does their food production.
gollark: Unfortunately, nuclear physics was poorly understood at that time, and they didn't have the necessary technologies to make much use of it in any case.
gollark: They can do some object manipulation tasks which computer things can't, which is useful in slavery I guess, but most of the useful features of humans versus robots or computer systems are in high-level and abstract thinking, which slavery underutilizes.
gollark: And they're inefficient and bad at menial labour.
