“EAs often say that their views don’t presuppose consequentialism”
This is interesting, because some people believe that all ethical theories can be “consequentialised”. If so, any EA who thinks their view presupposes moral realism actually could be say to think their view presupposes consequentialism.

Is anyone familiar with the philosophical literature on that? My understanding is that it’s controversial.
Separately, what’s the connection to moral realism?
