My point was that it's not as cut-and-dry as the parent post made it (like balancing a math equation or something). The 15 that you are not helping (at the moment) don't just wait on a shelf until you're ready for another batch. There are touch decisions to make if you go down that route.
- dredmorbius 11y agoAre you helping anyone by attempting and failing to help 20? If not, then help a number you can actually help. Apply a selection process: triage, sortition, intuition. Whatever. Someone's going to get helped, someone's not. If you've got additional bandwidth, make loudly known that there are more people who need help, and that others should step forward. It's rather like emergency first-responder practices. First ensure you're safe yourself. Then save who you can. Avoid wasting time on helpless cases, or those who can survive without help. Recruit others.
