Living in accord with nature and the future


Living in accord with nature also means human nature as was developed in the Hunter-Gatherer age, a nature which we certainly still possess. This harmoniously tracks, more or less, with traditional conservative values. To our inborn nature, or what we inherit, is added the second nature, our upbringing, our education (ie. nature/nurture), and the second acquired nature must not be a perversion of our inborn nature, as it has largely been in modern culture. More deeply and religiously this means living within an ordered conservative evolution activated by the Spirit-Will which internally activates material life to evolve toward Godhood, shaped by outside evolution. This is fully living in accord with nature.

As to the future, as Nietzsche suggested, the development of great people and not merely cultured people, is the supreme goal of education and culture, this is the political, artistic, and religious goal.  In today's language this means the development of great people sociobiologically. And not just one people but many people, grouped in small states and regions of distinct variety, and within the groups great individuals, the Republic of Genius, as Schopenhauer called them, calling to one another across time. If we can survive the present, this is our future, this is fully living in accord with nature and the future...Given who we are, is there a better way?
