Utopian thinking with its feet on real ground: Religion and philosophy as biological propaganda


If people accuse Hegel's philosophy of being "political propaganda" (Kojeve) then what would they say about religion and philosophy as biological propaganda, which it is?

That isn't an overly reductive statement, it is a basic truth about human and animal life which is hidden mainly because it discloses real intentions related to gaining power.

How can we fix our troubled world with different factions scheming and fighting wars for power if we won't speak about the primary causes?

When we find the courage and the smarts to admit the biological origin of our social behavior then we can have a much better chance of finding longer term harmony.

Both communism and capitalism may more easily see that a world of ethnostates, or as I put it an ethnopluralism of ethnostates, is the closest we may come to longer term political harmony in line with real kin and ethnic-centered human nature.

Then we can get on with affirming the sacred, all of us, with all our differences centered on evolving toward Godhood.

That is utopian thinking with its feet on real ground.
