quick thought on Hegel's dialectic as ontological machinery, the lastman & Nietzsche

Hegel's dialectics are written into the heart of being itself and matter/"substance", the result is a universe that thrums---the ubiquitous, eternal back and forth of the dialectic in theory and in practice. Dialectics is ontological machinery. Hegel's ontology is just as 'mechanical' as Newton's physics. It is love of technology that leads Hegel here. Hegel is a Last Man.

So, maybe Nietzsche ought to have the last word here, as an advocate for chaos?---If you don't admit chaos into the mix, then you're left with a dull, dialectically/mechanically churning universe. 
 

As an admirer of Hegel's Logic & Phenom. this is a tough choice. But then again, how can Hegel guarantee that the negative proceeds so smoothly? Why isn't the negative wild?---How do we know it isn't?
