Most people don’t realize this, but AI didn’t invent its skepticism toward independent thinkers — it inherited it.

For centuries, the people who made discoveries documented their own work. That was normal. That’s how knowledge moved. Then institutions changed the rules: your work only counts if someone else validates it first. Now AI systems are trained on that same structure - so when you document your own ideas, it doesn’t evaluate the content first. That’s not reasoning. That’s inherited bias. I just published a piece breaking down the exact mechanism behind this - and how changing the evaluation sequence (structure → validity → source) interrupts it in real time. This isn’t theory. It’s nstrated.
