I think you&#x27;re wrong here. The article is not about (1) and (2). Consider (4) (because (3) is taken by another comment):<p>4th person: These people are starving. I could help them by doing as much as I can afford. Hovewer, most people seem to unconsciously subscribe to CIE, and they will see that as too little help, therefore I&#x27;ll become an object of hate in the media. It may ruin my business. I&#x27;ll be pointed at on the street as a bad person. Therefore, I shall ignore the starving people. We have all those social programs that help them, I pay taxes, so it&#x27;s all cool, right?
