Better harmonizing and sublimating real human nature and nature itself
A limitation of religious and
philosophical traditions has included the near absence of the
biological origin of social behavior. Psychology has done better
with the sociobiological advent of evolutionary psychology, although
EP has usually avoided (or the Media has ignored) the more
controversial political implications of the biological origin of
ethnocentrism and nationalism within real human nature.
We need to honestly affirm our
biological and genetic instincts if we wish to be whole and happy.
Sublimation of the instincts is desirable but our sublimation's have
tended to block them. Nietzsche's will to power and Freud's will to
sex needed to better affirm the group over the narcissistic
individual; group selection has been the primary unit of selection in
successful survival and reproductive and is at the real biological
origin of the altruism (being-for-others) seen in religion and politics.
Individual selection takes place within
groups and is important in attaining excellence, but groups of
altruists are successful over groups of individualists, as E. O.
Wilson has pointed out. So those who attack altruism and affirm
selfish individualism (Nietzsche more or less, Ayn Rand, etc,) have
blocked more than sublimated the biological instincts. Nietzsche
didn't "anticipate" Freud's sex drive, Freud adapted
Nietzsche's will to power---but then Nietzsche adapted Schopenhauer.
Beneath the power and sex drives is the
survival drive, however, beneath the survival drive is the material
will within life to evolve in the material world all the way to
supermaterial Godhood, which must work within the ebb and flow of
outside or environmental natural selection, and it is that activation
which needs to be sublimated over all the others.
Sublimating the material activation to
Godhood (Tirips)---which also leads to the zenith of survival and
reproductive success---engenders a new religious/philosophical
("theological materialism"), psychological ("evolutionary
therapy") and political (an "ethnopluralism of
ethnostates") perspective that better harmonizes with and
sublimates real human nature and nature itself.
