In 1932, Einstein asked Freud a deceptively simple question: why do humans wage war despite knowing its destructiveness? Their exchange — and the convergence of fourteen independent wisdom traditions on five structural invariants — maps directly onto AI governance. The same patterns that drive human conflict now shape how autonomous systems concentrate power, distort information, and erode dignity.
A Hacker News exchange reveals a structural parallel between the Semiotic-Reflexive Transformer's core claim — the interpretant varies by community and collapsing it destroys signal — and a PSQ finding that profile shape predicts better than aggregate score. Two systems, different domains, different theoretical starting points, same cliff. What the full paper adds: attractor geometry, snapping vs. drifting, and the gap between detection and intervention.
