What have the experts and specialists
brought us politically? A world that is a dangerous mess. The
populist/nationalists didn't create this mess, the "progressive"
experts and specialists did, and the postmodern relativity of values
did this to us.
Sports, etc, have become a virtual
religion. Why? Postmodernism has taught us that all values are
relative, football is as important as religion or philosophy, the
only value is in becoming an expert in anything, as Chilton
Williamson recently pointed out in Chronicles.
But we don't need to be an expert to
harmonize with conservative tradition, we just need to harmonize with
real human nature, and that human nature is certainly not solely
created by social conditioning, as our postmodern experts and
specialists have taught us, like their Marxist mentors.
And real human nature remains as it has always been, 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, followed by individual
selection.
Yes, experts and specialists can be of
service, but only after our final values are holistically determined.
I have no doubt that if we had listened
to the populist/nationalists (say, Pat Buchanan, in spite of his
faults) we would not be in the political mess we are today, which was
advocated by experts and specialists, the same ones who now hate our president because he isn't an expert.
