Rethinking our positions on equality, universalism, and homogeneity
If when we are talking about how to
create real social order we proceed from laws, to morality, to
religion, without mentioning basic human homogeneity, we are building
on a weak foundation which will not lead to long-term social order.
If universalism and equality are our
religious and political goals---if we believe that social behavior is
largely determined and molded by the environment and the
culture---and if we neglect the biological origin of much of our
social behavior, we are adding to the weak foundation for social
order.
Human nature remains mainly
kin-centered and ethnocentric, which creates the homogeneity
necessary for long-term social order---which is difficult enough even with
homogeneity. So the logical and instinctively right political
structure for creating social order in our crowded world is an
ethnopluralism of ethnostates.
Cultures don't create people,
distinctive people create distinctive cultures. People, with their
unique genetic traits, and unique places where they live, develop
distinctive cultures which do not always work harmoniously with other
people who have different genetic traits and different cultures. One
is not superior or inferior to the other, they are just different.
Things get worse when rising
ethnocentric groups deviously use universalism and equality to
advance themselves in competition with more powerful ethnic groups,
which also leads to social disorder.
Interesting that the ethnic homogeneity
which is necessary to best maintain social order is now considered
politically incorrect. Even conservatives rarely mention it. We need
to rethink our positions on equality, universalism, and homogeneity.
Will religions, political ideologies, and political correctness let
us do it? It might require a bit more courage. We will have real social order to gain.

The new homogeneity is based on religion instead it seems.
