"fixture of contemporary history that would continue into the indefinite future."

bit like staring down the antithesis

"through a social dialectic"

it's a noyau, dialectics are outcomes of a dance partner's 'card'

Petter's noyaux are like an id under the world's superego

(civs/societies) are the measure of reason between the two as it plays out (the we-go?).

(BTW my books on Mary Douglas are on their way to update my old readings of her)

(also looks sideways at a solution space of individual/dyad/company/collective/aggregation/borg vi-s-a-vis the world matrix)

Antitheses have a stabilizing effect on our conceptual framework, and this stabilizing effect can easily transition into ideological capture that prevent us from seeing what is actually in front of our eyes.
