I didn’t feel that the examples he cited helped much in supporting the idea.
Everything he talks about can be easily accounted for by differences in someone’s urge or motivational state. I think The Atlantic needs to lay of “neuroscience” articles for a while, as this and the last one (the fMRI article) both fall short of quality science writing.
