I'd like to suggest a slightly different but compatible model that I've also been contemplating recently too. The a-morality being propagandised to us, especially young people, is perhaps a form of post-modern relativism-on-steroids (overshot big time) in which THERE IS NO GROUND upon which to stand because it's all relative. It's like the cultural relativism that sees every cultural practice as fine, except now it's applied to every individual practice as well. This leaves us in a moral vacuum which can be filled by a totalitarian "greater-good" morality as defined by them. The antidote is to refind our ground, our bones, our heart, our embodied felt sense of empathy and compassion - a very somatic-emotional morality as contrasted with the disembodied "transhuman" and mentally (or algorithmically) calculated one. I believe that humans have an innate capacity for empathy unless it has been extinguished by early trauma (which may be what happened to the cabalists), so perhaps it can be reawakened or rehabilitated in those not too far down the PsyOp path?

Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis deals eloquently with this topic in Book 1. It is well worth the read.

The title for Book 1, "Right and Wrong as a Clue to the Meaning of the Universe," tells the reader that the first five chapters will argue that morality is the key to the existential questions that have preoccupied humanity throughout the ages. The need to understand who we are, where it all came from, and what it all means has driven humankind to some of its greatest achievements in art, philosophy, science, and religion. Humans have approached these foundational questions from all conceivable angles. Some have found answers, while some have found only more questions.
