Don't study “political science” until you first study sociobiology
“Those liberalism wishes to destroy ,
it first drives mad.” (Chilton Williamson Jr.)
It seems to me that authentic thinkers,
philosophers or not, have to live with and by their ideas, and feel
their ideas personally. I see this in the best thinkers. I also think
that the best thinker have real
courage. Where does courage come from? From living life, facing
obstacles, or even learning from not facing obstacles, with the best
thinkers often facing fearful obstacles. It's probably true that Napoleon was defeated on the
playing fields of Eton, not in the lecture halls, but great thinkers
may be developed this way too, as the old Greeks knew.
And genius does turn up in unexpected
places. Being taught in the academic world certainly does not
guarantee courage, authenticity or originality. For example, don't
study “political science” until you first study sociobiology---after that study history, philosophy, and so on. The evolutionary
sciences should be taught front and center in the Humanities. Why
isn't sociobiology featured in the humanities? You know the answer,
sociobiology is not politically correct in that nefarious culturally
Marxist sense which is taught in all our colleges and universities.
Read E. O. Wilson's book "The Social Conquest Of Earth," he is
as accessible as Marx, and much wiser. After studying sociobiology
you can approach thinkers like Nietzsche and Heidegger with the
healthiest kind of skepticism. I also presumptuously say that you
should read my series of short and clear paragraphs on theological materialism, unsanctioned by anyone. Then go forth in the world and
multiply the best.
