The relationship between master and slave does not quite encompass the relationship. Imagine if instead of an adult we had a male child. If we elevated the slave above the master in that situation we would end up with something stuck forever. It would value sweet things, xbox games and think girls were icky.
As we grow up we also think our goals are improved (which is unsurprising really). So if we wish to keep this form of growing up we need to have a meta-morality which says that the master-slave or shaper-doer relationship continues until maturity is reached.

And that would be good for him. The truth about today’s world is that children are forceably converted into normal adults whether they like it or not. I am glad that I don’t still obsess over xbox games and think girls are icky, but for the me of 15 years ago, the master-induced value changes have been a disaster, tantamount to death.
