Adapting Hegel's grand synthesis to natural reality
We can see the way the Ancient Greeks
developed the individual sacrificing to the universal, as seen in
Greek tragedy, which lost the
individual to the universal, and on to the Romans who brought the
individual to the legal, and the medieval losing the material to a
universal spiritual, and now the postmodern way of trying to make the
individual the universal, with each historical movement losing one
vital bond or another in the synthesis.
The universal realistically and
naturalistically bonds with individual genetic drives and
desires even at the furthest and weakest end of altruism, or
being-for-others, as the earth and the universe itself must survive
if the individual is to survive, and then altruism gains strength moving
from the universal to the nation, ethnostate, ethnic group, kin and self, becoming ever
stronger altruistically in genetically-activated bonding due to ever
closer and therefore stronger genetic relatedness.
Next we can see how real human
nature has been affirmed throughout human history to
this day as being 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.
This logically and
naturally points toward the political/cultural solution of an
ethnopluralism of ethnostates. It is a conservative
transformation---not revolution---which can bring about a
sociopolitical or political/cultural structure most in harmony with
the real human nature and natural universal evolution. "Within
groups, selfish individuals beat altruistic individuals, but groups
of altruists beat groups of selfish individuals." E.O.
Wilson
In theological materialism
the universal exists in both the material Tirips, which is the
material activation
within life toward
evolving to supermaterial Godhood, which works along with
outside perhaps sometimes random natural evolution---and the
universal also exists in individual knowledge.
So we can altruistically
synthesize and bond with the individual, kin, ethnic group, ethnostate, nation,
earth, and the universal, without resorting to
a non-material, un-bonding, "spiritual/universal,"
and we can realistically bond with the real supermaterial
Godhood at the zenith of material
evolution, without losing any of these bonds.
