I think I interpret this phenomenon as a motivation problem. The fear of letting someone down is more motivating to you than the actual task itself. We are inherently social creatures so this makes a lot of sense for why it’s working for you. I’m not sure I’m really getting the connection to morality.
Maybe there’s a need for more clarity on what morality means. Does moral just mean BAD or is moral a substitute for “damaged social connections”? Are you more motivated by not being BAD or are you more motivated by keeping your social connections strong?
