There may be many people who's utility you are not aware of, but there are also many people whos utility you are aware of, and whos utility you can effect with your actions. I think @prase points are quite interesting just considering the ones in your awareness/ sphere of influence.
I'm not sure exactly why prase disagrees with me - I can think of many mutually exclusive reasons that it would take a while to write out individually - but since two people have now responded I guess I should ask for clarification. Why is the scenario described impossible?
