It has taken many centuries to arrive
at a sane and rational definition of real human nature, but alas,
this long sought wisdom conflicts in many ways with long
established religious, philosophical and modern social codes, which
are widely promoted by the popular media and the academic world.
Real human nature, among other universal traits, is not only
ethnocentric it is xenophobic, having become that way in
hunter-gatherer times because it was vital to survival success, and
this aspect of human nature remains very much with us today.
Some
time in the future people may see the folly and madness of trying to
force distinctly different ethnic groups and ethnic cultures to live
together in harmony and peace. But human beings may not be wise
enough to rationally and consciously separate themselves into ethnic
regions and states, with each region protected by some version of
federalism, so the separations may come about as they have always
come about in human history, through violence and secession.
It is a tragedy if we cannot, for
example, conservatively apply the original U.S. Constitutional separation of powers
and states to validate this ethnic return to real human nature and the best
chance we have for realistic peace and harmony.
