I think attempting to link epistemology to morality is going down the wrong path. Instead, it seems that morality should be built on epistemology. Instead of comparing dollars to the disaster, we should be put everything in the same currency. So for example, each individual having the option to choose to either:
a) Get one dust speck in their eye if they are in the large world
b) Get a hundred dust specks in their eye if they are in the small world
Converting the hundred dust specks into torture just unnecessarily complicates the problem.
