How odd. I remember that one of the key steps for me was realizing that if my drive for objective purpose could be respectable, than so could all of my other terminal values like having fun and protecting people. But I don't think I've ever heard someone else identify that as their key step until now... assuming we are talking about the same mental step.

It seems like there's just a big library of different "key insights" that different people require in order to collapse transcendent morality to morality.
