I'm a bit taken aback at the replies who say that EA never takes that into consideration. It had been actually exactly the kind of discourse I was seeing back in 2019 in the EA sphere. Actually, the reason this changed is exactly to avoid another SBF disaster: If you focus too much on consequentialism and convoluted reasons for why you're doing is the highest EV, you are incentivizing very unlawful and unwanted behaviours. EA pivoted to a more deontological framework to avoid those kind of dangerous reasonings at that point
