From a utilitarian perspective, if it helps people I'm invested in then the number would be low. But if it helps people who have no connection with my life whatsoever, then the number would be close to infinity.
But if you reverse the question and ask how many people I would kill so that I could live, that would be zero. Even if I have no connection to them
This is basically the exact opposite of utilitarianism. The utilitarian perspective would be to look at it in an objective way and determine what choice, overall, lead to the highest utility. Your decision is completely subjective.
Fair, I suppose I meant highest utility for ME and my people. What would be the right way to describe it?
I would just leave the "From a utilitarian perspective" part out. The rest of what you wrote seemed to describe your position adequate.
Quite a nice definition of 'double standards' a.k.a. hypocrisy :-)
How am I being hypocritical? I won't take from others, but I won't give my life for strangers. How is that hypocritical?
I don't know about hyprocritical, but it is rather selfish. Valuing human lives at zero just because you haven't met them is quite extreme if you think about it. I don't see how it is utilitarian either. Saving even 2 people at the cost of 1 is the most utilitarian thing to do.
