Dealing with the lies, disguises, and truths of human living
The instinctive force of the preference
for kin and group is so strong within human nature that it can be
disguised even from those who deny it---think of the Marxists who
advance a tiny elite while claiming equality for all. Mortal men are
not so much the fools of Shakespeare's “Midsummer Nights Dream”
as they are liars, even to themselves.
Human nature is complicated and
difficult to understand mainly because of lies and disguises, even
among the philosophers and psychologists who professionally examine
human behavior. But if men are born that way is not lying also a
natural law of human nature? It is the instinctive and genetic
activation to advance kin and group that is the natural law, and both conscious and unconscious lies as well as truth are the methods used.
I think we can even go as far as to say
that the laws of kin and group-selection are no less a natural law
of human nature than the laws of physics. Men deny this law with long philosophical
treatises even as they advance this law.
With this in mind I hope
ethnopluralism, which grounds itself in the real human nature of kin
and group-preferences, with ethnostates for distinctive ethnic cultures, will soon be seen as the political philosophy
most in harmony with the laws of human nature and therefore able to
synthesize or deal with the lies, disguises and truths of human
living.
