slaves who work like regular low-status workers, like in Amazon Fulfillment Centers, then we would experience the greatest age ever known to man, far exceeding the wonders and improvements that the past two centuries of industrialization have wrought, but rather ushering in a whole new era for the world.
For the more valuable is the sacrifice, the even greater is the reward, and for now, we have been content, as a society, only to sacrifice the low-status people, not daring even to contemplate offering up as human sacrifices the most valuable people in the world.

But it's just a fact of how this universe works: the greater the value of the sacrifice(s), the even greater the rewards will be for those who had the strength and willpower to perform those sacrifices.
In fact, I say unto you in absolute earnest, speaking pure truth, that if we took the entire upper middle class on up, or the whole top 20% of our society, and offered them up as human sacrifices to the industrial machine, either by just killing them or making them into suffering slaves (so that all they knew and loved has now been sacrificed), we would create a world beyond out wildest imaginations of goodness.
It is something we should consider doing, and we must consider it deeply.
And in general, we must remember the logic and goodness of sacrifice, especially of human sacrifice, and most especially of high-status human sacrifice. For the more valuable the sacrifice, the greater the reward for having the will to destroy that cherished thing.
