"Voluntary transactions were the theme of the Abadar theology books I read. And - it's implied by the Keltham lectures we got? The Abadar holy books I read didn't mention slavery any more than Keltham did, but yes, it's all about people all being better off because they coordinated their decisions - the Abadar books didn't talk about that, they just talked about trade, they didn't derive trade and property from the first principles of multiagent coordination like Keltham did. But I frankly think that's just because Keltham is smarter than the people writing Abadar's current holy books. If Abadar chose Keltham and dropped four cleric circles on him, it's a good bet that multiagent coordination is what Abadar is about, and trade is just the part of it that pre-Kelthamian mortals could understand. Slavery is not multiagent coordination, it's not people choosing to act in ways that make them all better off, and that overrides anything about property because the principle of property is derived from multiagent coordination according to Keltham."
"...we've probably got considerably better understanding of Abadarian theology at this point than Abadarans do, just from being around Keltham for a few weeks. Weird thought."
