To be fair, your note guessed correctly that I had misread your question’s last two paragraphs, and I’m overly attached to my initial response. But my reasoning holds up: Cryptography is hard because the attacker moves last, mind design is easy because nature doesn’t get to respond to our design. The reason we’d get conflict is nostalgia, much like Star Trek’s Federation judged an Enterprise manned by holograms to be like Disneyland without children.
