This is exactly how I feel. I would slightly amend 1 to “I care about family, friends, some other people I know, and some other people I don’t know but I have some other connection to”. For example, I care about people who are where I was several years ago and I’ll offer them help if we cross paths—there are TDT reasons for this. Are the they the “best” people for me to help under utilitarian grounds? No, and so what?
