Ledericas@lemm.ee 1 day agoi was thinking GOAULD, aside from a couple of the system lords(Osiris evil as she was her lore in the show was wanting humans to literate , while her brother was seth was against it), most of them had impoverished slaves, ra even banned reading and writing, sound familiar to prevent the slaves turning against him on another planet.

Good point, I guess it would be back to considering the permanence of The Cave allegory. I still have that gut feeling that humanity has a sort of in-built desire for freedom and self-determination which exists somewhere beyond the conceptual, something innate. Maybe its materialisation just takes a long enough timeline and that the species is offered relative stability in terms of genetics/psychological development (i.e. they don’t just outright lobotomise us and turn us into Servitors, or smth…)
