You are NOT as moral as you think

[Dr. Mog]

Imagine you are walking by a pond and a child is drowning and you have the chance to save him. But in doing so you will have to ruin your £200 shoes. Would you do it? Ofc you would because anyone who wouldn’t is an evil monster.

Now what’s the difference between this child and another child in another country who is dying of a disease? You could save this child too for just £200 by a donation to clean water and medicine but you don’t, you just buy the shoes instead sacrificing money on things you don’t need.

In other words, the child is already drowning but this time, you just don’t see the pond. Hence a child that is drowning is much easier to ignore now because you are an hypocrite.

I agree with the title but the example you gave is way more nuanced

The difference is that I can do a physical action to save that child, that kid in another country is gonna die of disease anyway, so you're just delaying the inevitable. Also I can get a selfie with the kid who's drowning so i can flex I saved a drowning kid.

Ok but what about the fact that donating food and clean water allows them to reproduce more and then increases the number of hungry people exponentially

What would be the right course of action then? Wouldn’t it be the right decision to not donate so the suffering is minimized?

Life isn't that simple.

I don't even have shoes that worth 200

You could save this child too for just £200 by a donation to clean water and medicine but you don’t, you just buy t

Its because you are helping a child of your tribe vs a child of another
The only thing the donations do is make 3rd worlders breed more and make more children

But in doing so you will have to ruin your £200 shoes. Would you do it?
