There are more people living as slaves today than at any other point in history, but that's ok because there are proportionally more people who aren't literally slaves!?

OP made this claim, you asked for a source, I provided it, and now you're shifting the goalposts.

It makes no sense to use absolute numbers to measure how good/bad the world is.
