I don’t think I assume that others are actively trying and failing at consequentialist thinking (I think if I’d been queried on this, I would have said words that largely match your perspective/predictions) but I do think that effective people and trying-to-be-effective people should definitely at least often be in a consequentialist mode.
And so I think I was pointing at something like “evaluate the stuff they’re proposing from a consequentialist lens [regardless of whether they themselves are doing so].”
Ooh, excellent point.
