One clear benefit is that there is less motivation to traumatize people if you aren't terrified you're not good enough, in addition to all the benefits of better mental health. I also expect there to be less performative attempts at ethics.https://twitter.com/imhinesmi/status/1209870066352893952 …
If most of this trauma is caused by people being afraid of not being good, then what happens if people stop being traumatized in this way, or when we heal this trauma? Do we stop being good?https://twitter.com/imhinesmi/status/1209617927214915587 …

But performative ethics are related to actual ethics, to an extent. Trying to visibly help people in obvious ways is still helping them, even if not efficiently. Most people are less good than they try to look.

I don't know how shadow work typically ends. I think that most people who succeed at it are going to be unusually ethical, because it's hard work you can't materially benefit from. This makes it hard to get a good idea of what the end result of not trying to be good is.
