I feel pretty certain you don't understand the Free Will arguments (punishments have meaning because they change the incentives, thus causing people to make different choices-the BRAIN makes the choice but the brain is not connected to our subjectivity or our sense of 'will'. Do you will your heart to beat? Do you will your liver to filter blood? Neither do you will your brain to make decisions. The decisions are made well before you're often aware of them and 'you' could not have chosen differently)...
However this essay is great and identifies a type I myself have seen: unhappy young women nursing a number of urges and neuroses, often focused around self-abnegation or -annihilation. Every girl in my rehab had an ED. I'm nor sure what the best treatments for these states of mind are (some form of moral psychology probably) but they're not helped by validating or coddling or affirming. These girls are sick... and I'm not just talking about the ED's...
"The instinct of justice in the human heart is so deep that, even in great deeds of injustice, the villains wear the mantle of justice." - Life of Christ, Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen (1954)
Boy does this describe our Totalitarian elites with their new theology ( Climate Change ); New Morality ( Lgbtq+ / DEI / CRT / ESG ) and New Liturgy ( Pachamama ).

Great essay which reminds me of this quote.

Powerful stuff, Mem… powerful stuff.
