@EliezerYudkowsky famously called this position requiredism. A common retort is that most self-identified compatibilist philosophers are in fact requiredists, making the word “compatibilism” indeed a bit of a misnomer.
Thanks for making me aware of Requiredism, this resonates with and strongly overlaps with the my take. Looks like, had I looked a little harder I might have found that what I was looking for was (of course) already out there. Though it was worth fleshing it out myself, and my focus on the centrality of consciousness is important to a wider ethical framework I’m developing. Requiredism seems a good counterpoint to the Compatibilist Illusionism I was attributing to Compatibilism in general.
