The Future Use Problem and Moral Scrupulosity

In this chapter, they discuss the concept of a 'future use problem' in relation to moral scrupulosity. They explain that individuals with moral scrupulosity often worry about being a bad person, but they are actually very sensitive, compassionate, and overflowing with empathy. They mention that people with OCD are skilled at creating detailed stories in their minds, and they often imagine a future version of themselves being criticized and ostracized. This leads to their compulsions, as they try to protect this future version of themselves.
