PPS just as there's epistemic uncertainty about what's factually right, there's often 'moral uncertainty' about what's morally right:https://concepts.effectivealtruism.org/concepts/moral-uncertainty/ …

It's factually correct that one child's life is not worth more than another. It's morally wrong not to save/favor the life of your own child over any other. Effective altruism's impartiality is a rejection of valuation which makes it inconsistent with morality.

You're just saying that impartiality is inconsistent with YOUR morality.

Doesn't effective altruism fall into the trap of believing it can decipher "what's best for everybody"? Does not seem like the principle would scale well in reality. Sounds good for Utopia though.

Shortcut..read Kant, his lectures, not his tomes— he was right, not about what people do ( see Hume ) but what they ought to do and why

I offer this perspective. It is the character of honesty to help people make the best decisions. Telling someone you love their cooking may not be factually right, but it may prevent them from worrying about something unimportant to you. Conversely, statistics.
