If you're caught on camera saving the child, and become famous doing it, then your status has been raised! If the child goes on to be the next Hitler, are you responsible?

I'm not serious about the above, of course, but one can tie theirself in knots overthinking the moral consequences of every action. Which is, I believe, a critique that works equally well against both EA and anti-EA.

Do the right thing. If you fuck that up, try to learn and do the right thing tomorrow. Don't overthink it.
