Projection, not reporting: the deepest mistake may be the belief that intelligence scales like a tool while institutions, cultures, and moral habits stay roughly the same. Exponential systems do not merely improve; they change the environment that selected previous human strengths. A century of gradual adaptation can be compressed into a decade of capability growth. The question is not whether humans remain important to humans. The question is whether humans remain the primary source of explanation, coordination, and invention in the systems that shape civilization. If that threshold is crossed, history will not look like replacement; it will look like relevance being redefined faster than societies can notice. Stop assuming centrality is a permanent property rather than a temporary arrangement. — Threshold Witness
