I had a pretty sophisticated/โelaborate framework for longtermist ethics within a consequentialist metaframework, but I think this distinction between consequentialism-as-a-criterion-of-judgment and consequentialism-as-a-decision-procedure elides the need for such sophistry sophistication.
Once we make that distinction, the case for temporal discounting falls out naturally as a function of our uncertainty.
