Yeah so that's the thing, you assumed the morality I was referring to is objective. It's ALL subjective. There's no objective base outside of human desires and considerations to refer to, and climate disaster being comparable to slavery is a called shot on my part. Today's normal is tomorrow's evil and yesterday's mundane is today's exceptional because morality changes over time. Humans made it and they made it to concern the things they care about. That doesn't make them bad, but it makes them purely subjective.
For that matter, "archetypical" anything as a concept outside of clinical psychology that hasn't seen the light of day since Plato's world of forms. Archetypes are invented by our brains. They have no sway or influence on reality past their social impacts, and what makes a thing archetypical is ALSO purely subjective.
