Anyway, I think the calculation goes like this...

Empathy = Affinity x Proximity

In practice, that's probably the calculation most people go with. I think Singer is saying we ought to abandon this calculation.

LOL. Yes in reading back over my post I said "don't worry about motivations" then asked you to consider your motivations.

I would have made my point better by saying that if you are motivated to save one, you ought to be motivated to save the other, logically speaking.
