@ArthurI what do you think of this resolution I came up with to the consequentialist judgement paradox you came up with?

@jlou So you are right when you say that we should find less paradoxical theories since I don't want my argument to be seen as a motion only toward more contradictions.

It is more complicated, since the completeness depends on the state of material and knowledge progress.

Indeed, a consequentialist in a world with only the slingshot as a weapon and a consequentialist in a world with the atomic bomb do not contradict themselves the same way.

As I stated in my paper with the germs example.
