The blood issue is one that has been around for millennia. Even in the Bible, especially the Old Testament, there is lots of concern with blood. Prohibitions against eating animals with the blood still in them. Sprinkling the altar with the blood of the sacrifice. Then, in the New Testament, we have the sacrament of the Eucharist, the body and blood of Jesus. All of this was, I expect, quite separate from the "philosophical" concepts, and predates them, so it really tends to support your thesis. And, no, not too much information. It is stimulating. It is also YouTube. I can stop and restart any time. Keep it up.

Now, this is not a fully formed thesis, but the idea of Heraclitus, that everything is struggle, might have some merit in explaining human social evolution. Man went from living in family groups (tribes) to more complex forms of organization. These tribes often struggled against each other. The banding together of several tribes under a leader is likely the origin of society as we know it. This was driven by struggle of one group against another. This then prompted innovation. It is not likely that people just sat around, absent some motivating force, and said let's invent something. It is most likely a combination of wanting to understand existence and a struggle of some kind in the community or between communities. Just a thought.

It is all good. We live in a simulation, anyway. That is actually what some physicists believe. Imagine that. Hard science going back to spiritualism.
