The Heart or the Head?
Politics is a complicated maze of
instincts and reason, and Hollywood actors---who are looking more
and more like arrested-development teenagers---claim to be speaking
from the heart not the head. But speaking from
the heart usually means speaking from emotions and instincts that are primarily genetically based (although reason is too), and modern liberals don't like to
acknowledge anything as being genetically based.
This becomes further complicated when
we see that there are gender differences in the instincts and
emotions, with women being genetically more nurturing and men more
territorial. This can then be reflected in politics where the left
tends to be more nurturing and the right territorial.
The philosopher Schopenhauer in his
contrary way thought women were intellectual and men emotional, but
he thought that the emotional Will was the inner being and intellect
was secondary.
Political "isms" are usually
the creation of the head more than the heart. My affirmation of an
ethnopluralism of ethnostates is based on the idea that an ethnopluralism of ethnostates is more deeply and genetically
based. Human nature remains kin-centered and ethnocentric, with
group-selection as the primary unit of selection, which naturally
calls for ethnostates.
I probably
lean more toward male-based, external, territorial politics and
female-based, nurturing, internal politics. I wouldn't want to try to take the vote away from women (or Hollywood), and
I don't believe in tyrannically fascism, left or right. And I am not anti-reason since I strongly affirm science. So this is a subject difficult to
nail down.
