Cons: The store might not actually gather one less lobster than usual
This… seems like a pretty big deal, actually. The store still needs the same number of lobsters to serve to customers who order lobster to eat it, so… how exactly would they gather one less lobster than usual? What’s the actual plan, here?
A failure mode I see here is where philosophy education comes to be regarded as something like math education is now: something that everyone believes has no practical application, but we are forced to learn it anyway. Why does a farmer or engineer need to know the difference “between consequentialism and deontology”? If philosophy comes to be seen as rigor for the sake of pointless rigor, it will be trusted less.
