    You’re mostly correct, but there’s something I need to point out:

    Being “complicit” isn’t a feature of consequentialism, and it’s not a feature of the universe either. If you’re doing utility calculus (which here you are) factoring in whether you’ll be “complicit” essentially boils down to putting your self-image on the scales determining the lives of others.

      I don’t understand your last part, what do you mean with “projecting one’s self-image”?
