Go easier on me… I barely read all of it, and have only this to say so far.

Hegel had his master slave dialectic because it was culturally relevant.

Genesis (the creation and fall) had predator prey (not until Jesus/Paul etc was it dialectic… love your enemy)… had super smart predators, and humans prey to them because they were new (innocent as doves… not yet _crafty_ as serpents). Slavery wasn’t culturally relevant yet.

Oh shoot. Don’t get me started.
