I'm not Multiheaded, but it feels-as-if the part of brain that does math has no problem at all personally slaughtering a million people if it saves one million and ten (1); the ethical injunction against that, which is useful, feels-as-if it comes from "avoid the unpleasant (c.q. evil) thing". (Weak evidence based on introspection, obviously.)
(1) Killing a million people is really unpleasant, but saving ten people should easily overcome that even if I care more about myself than about others.
Rougly that; I've thought about it in plenty more detail, but everything beyond this summary feels vague and I'm too lazy currently to make it coherent enough to post.
