I’m not making a handwavy philosophical argument. Pretending that you are at the production-possibility frontier of altruism/egoism is both a result of, and inducing further cognitive distortion.
Thank you for pointing out the term ‘production-possibility frontier’ in this context, which helps clarify some of my thoughts.
As it is, I don’t actually disagree with you, in the main. More than once, I’ve mentioned that it’s often the case that considering both effective altruism and effective egoism (by whatever name) as guides tends to lead towards the same behaviour, in most everyday situations.
