The modern liberal principle of tolerance for almost everything has all but destroyed Western civilization
In theological materialism the laws of
nature and human nature coincide for the most part with the laws of
traditional religion. It may be blasphemous to some, but I believe
that the laws of nature come before and lead to or activate the laws
of traditional religion, and not the other way around.
This does not reject religion but it
puts religion in the right balance with the reality of nature and
human nature. We are not born with endless free choice to
discover what best seems to fit our interests. We have free choice
within a determined human nature. But human nature also largely
harmonizes with traditional morality. Human nature has a constant nature but an ever-changing character, to adapt what Colin Gray said of war.
Human nature remains mainly
kin-centered, gender defined, age-graded, heterosexual
marriage-making, hierarchical, ethnocentric, even xenophobic, and
religious-making, among other things, with group-selection as the
primary unit of successful
selection. I prefer the term “ordered evolution” to
“ordered liberty” because it is more in line with the reality of
human nature. We have choices within determined paths of evolution,
like a boulder rolling down a mountain, as E.O. Wilson once put it.
I think the U. S. constitutional
separation of powers and states is wisely in harmony with real human
nature. I also think real human nature naturally needs to be seen as
leading to ethnostates within an ethnopluralism---human nature
certainly does not point to one world with all varieties of unlike
people stuffed into one territory and told to all get along together.
But a series of Supreme Court decisions
now allows almost any perversion of human nature, people are legally
“free” to chose whatever sexuality, whatever odd version of
marriage, whatever political structure that fits their short-term fancy. No such freedom exists
within a largely determined human nature. The modern liberal
principle of tolerance for almost everything with perversions of real
human nature of every kind has all but destroyed Western
civilization.
