Nevertheless, the above question you asked was my point. This is a "what" question, that has higher precedence over all the "why" questions asked by philosophers(IMO).
I think the "why" question has to come first. Shouldn't you have an answer to "why should we help these people?" before talking about what we could do?
I do take your point that many philosophical questions are a bit frivolous in comparison to struggling for food. But if they were raised here, would they do any different? It seems like you are already dismissing taking drastic action, and are talking about the small differences you can make. Why is that?
You don't have to answer, I'm just making the point that the "why" questions are important.
