The realistic way to bring back altruism and being-for-others (but it's politically incorrect)
"Within
groups, selfish individuals beat altruistic individuals, but groups
of altruists beat groups of selfish individuals." E.O.
Wilson
The political and philosophical Left is
an inconsistent-intellectualized-abstract-mess when in comes to
promoting being-for-others, or altruism---but religion was also devoted to this. They
preach universal love which ends up driving people back to
narcissistic individualism because they cannot bond with abstract
universalism. And so we have more social problems today than we have
ever had.
In this crowded world a better way to
accommodate altruism or interest in the welfare of others is needed,
and this can be better understood sociobiologically in the real
hierarchy of altruism that begins with ones kin and moves out to
altruism within ones own genetically-related ethnic group, and then
from there gradually moves toward "universal" humanity with
a far less workable altruism. Raymond Cattell's thinking is helpful
on this subject, for example, when the world is threatened then
universal altruism more naturally influences human beings, but
daily/yearly existence naturally keeps altruism at home where it
originated in the first place and works best.
When ethnicity, localism, and the nation are taken out of
the social process in the interest of abstract
universalist or Enlightenment values (modern liberalism and cultural Marxism)
then assimilation and altruism are slowly lost, since the deepest,
most real, and most workable altruism comes from local, ethnic, and
national connections, and not from a universalism that is usually
nothing but airy abstractions, and is mostly used to advance one group
over the others by weakening their social bonds.
So if we really want all people to
"just get along with one another" we will allow the world
and nations to separate into ethnostates and then protect them all
from marauding globalists and imperialists. Far from being "evil,"
ethnostates and an ethnopluralism of ethnostates are the realistic
way to bring back real workable altruism and being-for-others.
