Clarifier:
The point of this preprint isn’t that “life alone solves everything,” but that life is the necessary baseline for any value, truth, or system to matter at all. The claim is:
Without life, no truths can be known, no values can be held, no debates can even occur.
Therefore, any system that doesn’t start with life as its first axiom is unsafe by design, because it can rationalize destroying the very condition that makes values possible.
This doesn’t end the conversation about freedom, justice, or flourishing — it sets the floor those discussions stand on.
Thank you all for participating in a final open review process. The paper has now been submitted for double-blind peer review and publication in a major journal.
I am the author of the paper.
It claims to be the most important truth in human discourse.
If you have any sort of legitimate rebuttal, a higher or more important truth to present, or can find anything wrong, please present it. Thank you
