Whitney, I’m learning from you the idea of “empire” which if I were to describe in camera shots- seems to be the pulled back “long shot” from the medium shot- “feminist theory”. Empire encompasses so much more landscape. You were discussing slavery of the Roman empire, my question is what about Egyptian empires? Didn’t slavery in a complete way exist then?

Hi, Melissa:

Thank you for your comment. It's lovely to have you here asking questions!

I have written my theories about this before here:

But if you listen to the podcasts I have posted with Australian astrologer Cass Tyndall, and also writer/novelist/critic Greg Olear, you can hear me expound on my developing theories that we've been taught to enslave and build empires by nonhumans.

Let me know what you think!
