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.
