I think I see the point about dynamic inconsistency. It might be that “I got to state Y from Z” will alter my decisionmaking about Y versus X.
I suppose it means that my decision of what to do in state Y no longer depends purely on consequences, but also on history, at which point they revoke my consequentialist party membership.
But why is that so terrible? It’s a little weird, but I’m not sure it’s actually inconsistent or violates any of my moral beliefs. I have all sorts of moral beliefs about ownership and rights that are history-dependent so it’s not like history-dependence is a new strange thing.
