Consequentialism is convergently instrumental. Consequentialism is a (relatively) simple, effective process for accomplishing goals, so things that efficiently optimize for goals tend to approximate it.
I think this is the most important premise. I don’t have a solid justification for it yet, but I’m groping towards a non-solid justification at least in my agency sequence. I think John Wentworth’s stuff on the good regulator theorem is another line of attack that could turn into a solid justification. TurnTrout also has relevant work IIRC.
Thanks, I found this helpful!
