Naturalistically defining the long-term order that we ultimately require
Conservatives rightly
tell us of the importance of order in human
affairs, and they add that political order ultimately requires
order in the soul. Before we talk of the mysterious order of the
soul, which is nebulous, mysterious, impractical, and even at odds
with down-to-earth conservatism, a better guide in human affairs is
harmonizing with the order of real human nature. Human nature tells
us of our natural intentions and the biological origin of our social
behavior,
In the 50/50? mix of
nature and nurture in forming human nature, nature leads. Someone
said, “Biology is the hardware, culture is the software.” We
have freedom to choose, but between determined paths, and basic human
nature is determinedly kin-centered,
gender defined, age-graded, heterosexual, marriage-making,
hierarchical, ethnocentric, even xenophobic, and religious-making,
among other things, with group-selection as the primary unit of
successful selection, followed by individual selection.
This strongly suggests
that order in human affairs is best found in ethnostates, and an
ethnopluralism of ethnostates. Ethnostates harmonize and synchronize
with our natural intentions and the biological origin of our social
behavior. What more could we ask for? What would be better? What makes more common sense?
As to the mysterious order
of the soul I think more of how we are governed and activated from
within to live and successfully survive and reproduce in every cell
of the body, reacting and adapting to the various environments we
live in. I think of how material life evolves
toward the zenith of survival and reproductive success,
which is supermaterial Godhood. That naturalistically defines the long-term order
that we ultimately require. That defines deep-conservatism.
