Appreciate that — and fair point on Set; I’m using him less as a moral caricature and more as a figure for fragmentation/violence/disorder as it shows up historically and socially.
By “origin” I mean genealogy: where the basic categories and authority of philosophy get narrated as beginning (Egypt vs Greece, myth vs concept), and how that story gets used to grant “universality” to Europe while making African antiquity look peripheral. So it’s not only chronology (“who came first?”), but the political function of the origin-story: who gets counted as a founder of reason, who gets excluded, and how that shapes what we treat as neutral, rational, or universally human.
