"The commonalities of stories amalgamate into archetypes"...ok, but the forces expressed by the archetypes originate macrocosmically, and, so, microcosmically within the individual. That's why we create the stories we do. The archetypes are human productions, incidentally-powered by self-originated archetypal forces. That goes for "evil", too! You guys are fixated on "evil"! "For as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he", is worth remembering. What would be a linguistically respectful definition of "evil"? Abstract it to reform its resonance.

"What sublimation is" is seeing through to the source, or origin, of an "urge", repeatedly, until a sufficient habit of understanding forms to naturally discharge the "urgency" value into a different "channel", or direction, as directed by the understanding.

"Novelty" is the presentation, or appearance, of "the unknown", and is signaled by "distraction". "Focus" orders the unknown, making it "known"; loss of focus allows the unknown, as a pressure of disorder, to overtake the known's structures of order, yielding confusion, contradiction, dilapidation. Novelty is often a product of a pressure of disorder emanating from the unknown. You think of something and immediately its inside-out opposite flashes into awareness, as a "possibility", in apparent balance. Order tries to tease the unknown into itself bit by bit; the unknown resists with a pressure of disorder that "tears the known apart". "Movement" is an expression of this dynamic balance in disequilibrium.

Community politics doesn't scale. Once above about, maybe, 10000 people, a community is too large to sustain the degree of interconnectedness among its members necessary to propagate the community's traditional sociocultural values.
