This analysis cuts deep. The shift from repression-based illness to exhaustion-based illness is such a precise diagnosis of whats happening structuraly. What really stands out is how burnout reveals the weaponization of desire itself, where thirst for growth becomes the mechanism of control rather then external authority. I've been thinking alot about how my own "self optimization" habits are indistinguishable from the demands of productivity culture, and this framing makes that connection undeniable.
