"Life" gives the lie to a relativity of truth

Postmodernism was almost right about the will-to-power (via Nietzsche). They should have more accurately defined the will to power as the drive to survival and reproductive success, and defined it as deeply determined within human nature, not relative.

Liberals like to say that conservatives are " trapped in the 1950's." Conservatives, like everyone else, are really "trapped" in human nature, but why put that negative spin on human nature, why call it "trapped"?

Because lies and hypocrisy are often part of the drive to survival and reproductive success, even if it is usually a short-term and ignorant part of human nature. "Life" gives the lie to a relativity of truth.

If you are alive you are biologically determined, and not to be a Marxist, a modern liberal, or a postmodernist. We are all biologically determined to be 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. That looks a lot like the conservatism of 1950's---and looks nothing like the prevailing cultural Marxism.

1950's conservatism needs only to be updated, by adapting the constitutional separation of powers and states to an ethnopluralism of ethnostates, to reflect and advance what humans really are determined to be and become. That's not a "relative" truth, it is the truth of the real living object and not merely the airy nothing of intellectual abstractions...I would also add that I hope we are helped along by an evolutionary religious philosophy (see theological materialism).
