Cook, Zuckerberg, Globalism, and the limits of altruism
The globalism and universalism promoted
by the techie-turned-billionaires Tim Cook of Apple and Zuckerberg of Facebook, who are the new
effete version of robber barons, is based on a fusion of
libertarianism and cultural Marxism, which means their globalism is
based on a faulty view of human nature.
Altruism, supposedly the selfless
concern for the well-being of others, is in reality based on a
hierarchical genetic scale of caring for others, beginning
strongest with kin, and moving out to ethnic group, region, state,
nation, and at the weakest end of altruism: globalism. That is why
the various attempts at empire building and universalism don't last
long and do not bring harmony or peace---even universal religions
couldn't bring harmony or peace for the same reason.
Global harmony and peace will not come
from Cook/Apple/Zuckerberg/Facebook because their bonding "goals"
are at the weakest and virtually unworkable end of the hierarchy of
altruism. Cook and Zuckerberg push the global "human
rights" of libertarian/cultural Marxism because they benefit most from them,
which is why they promote their faulty altruism, although the
dissolute Cook at least seems naively unconscious of this.
What will bring the best chance
for peace and harmony in the world is a political/cultural solution
based in a realistic understanding of altruism and the
hierarchy of altruism, and its limits. That is, large empires, large nations, and now
global corporations eventually devolve back to localism and an
ethnopluralism of ethnostates, in line with real human nature. That is the direction we need to go in.
