Let's move out from under the ignorance and lies regarding the deepest currents of history


Contrary to religious writer George Weigel the deepest currents of history do not flow through culture, the deepest currents of history flow through biology---biology is at the origin of our social behavior. Both liberals and conservatives make this error (though conservative's less so). Why do they do it?

Religion and political philosophy within in our culture have interpreted culture from spiritual and ideologically abstract perspectives which have, intentionally or not, undermined the biology origin of our social behavior.

Then there is the bias and blockage of the biological perspective since the suffering caused by World War Two, and the fall of fascism and Nazism.

But suffering does not justify ignoring, biasing, and blocking the truth, to do that causes even more suffering in the future. We cannot heal culture or develop a healthy natural culture based in bias and lies.

The real biology origin of our social behavior defines real human nature as being kin-centered, gender defined, age-graded, heterosexual, marriage-making, hierarchical, ethnocentric, even xenophobic, among other conservative things, with group-selection as the primary unit of successful selection, followed by individual selection. What does that suggest when the bias and blockage of the truth is removed?

It suggests ethnostates, and an ethnopluralism of ethnostates to deal with growing, and competing, multi-ethnic societies; it also suggests a protecting federalism to safeguard all ethnostates against inevitable marauding imperialists. The U. S. even has a constitutional separation of powers and states to adapt to an ethnopluralism of ethnostates.

Let's move out from under the ignorance or lies regarding the deepest currents of history.
