I assume that, despite the name, people here don't take consequentialism to imply strictly CDT. I still think that in the True Prisoner's Dilemma against a paperclip maximizer known to use the same decision algorithms as ourselves it's immoral to defect.

May the reason why so many philosophers don't vote for consquentialism is that they're thinking about pure CDTical act consequentialism?
