Part 5/9:
As the seminar progresses, it becomes evident that both models, while historically significant, fall short in reflecting the complexity of existence. The ceramic model limits our understanding by imposing a hierarchal view of creator and creation, while the fully automatic model strips existence of purpose or intrinsic value, reducing humanity to mere byproducts of cosmic chance. This view fosters an animosity towards nature, birthing a culture rife with the notion of conquering or dominating the natural world rather than recognizing our interdependence with it.
