The mediation between individualism and socialization
Philosophers and psychologists have
continual disputes about the mediation between individualism and socialization
but few see the science and art of sociobiology as the key to the mediation. Instead they get lost in fastidious
displays
of
learning. Most of science has
distanced us from the self within the folds of cold objectivism, and
religion has distanced us from reality with a fantasy-non-materialism
as the goal of life.
The science and art of sociobiology mediates between
individualism and socialization realistically. As E. O. Wilson put it
"Within
groups, selfish individuals beat altruistic individuals, but groups
of altruists beat groups of selfish individuals....Hereditary
altruists form groups so cooperative and well-organized as to
out-compete non-altruists groups.” That concisely explains the
mediation between individualism and socialization. Group-selection is
the primary unit of successful
selection, followed or tracked by
individual selection.
But we don't need to lose
either religion or science. Sociobiology
suggests that real kin and ethnic-centered human nature leads naturally to the social expression of regionalism, localism, and politically leads toward an ethnopluralism of
ethnostates, if we have the courage to admit it. Given who we are this appears to be the best way we all can
optimize the gene expression we inherited from our human ancestors.
Then to ground this worldview as deeply as possible we need a
religious philosophy to express the material evolution of life to
supermaterial Godhood, which is seen in the philosophy of theological materialism.
