If I’m going to give away $10,000, I’d rather give it to Sudanese refugees. But I see your point: You value some people’s welfare over others.
A father rejecting his illegitimate 3-year-old child reveals an asymmetry that I find troubling: The father no longer feels close to the child; but the child still feels close to the father, closer than you feel you are to me.
Life is full of such asymmetry. If I fall in love with a girl, that doesn’t make her owe me money.
At this point it’s pretty clear that I resent your moral system and I very much resent your idea of converting others to it. Maybe we should drop this discussion.
