So where did Kierkegaard go wrong? I would really like to know.

where the mindset that produced this essay, at least, went wrong was in the pious pretense that ~willing the Good~ for its own sake rather than reward-seeking is in any way not a sneakier species of reward-seeking where you get to jerk yourself off about how pure of heart you are

Isn't this objection addressed under Egocentric Service of the Good? whereby the righteous jerk off is still a failure to will one thing?pic.twitter.com/K7DoiE8LT6
