I'm pretty sure the prevailing view here is actually some sort of consequentialist egoism, not utilitarianism in a sense recognizable to an ethicist. Planning a top-level post about that.
I'd rather see a definition than a label. Calling it 'consequentialist egoism rather than utilitarianism' is perhaps useful to professional or enthusiast ethical philosophers, but it doesn't convey much information to me. A list of properties used in the ethical system would be far more useful.
Agreed. Thus the planned top-level post.
