A sweeping reductionism that is nevertheless true
“Biology
is the hardware, culture is the software”
Here
is a sweeping reductionism that is nevertheless true: as long the
"norms" of human life were based on human nature as defined
as closely as possible to how tradition and now neo-Darwinist
sociobiology define the norms of human nature, the decay, decline,
and collapse of Ancient Greece, the Roman order, the medieval world,
and our own time, would not have taken place as it did.
This
means that the norms of human nature are basically being
kin-centered, gender defined, age-graded, heterosexual
marriage-making, hierarchical, ethnocentric, even xenophobic, and
religious-making, among other things, with group-selection or
ethnic selection as the primary unit of selection. Cultures
can operate for a time with behavior that goes against this basic
human nature, with such experiments as Marxism, but cultures are
eventually pulled back by the biological and genetic leash of real
human nature to cultures that better reflect real human nature, and
humans then work within and adapt to the environments they find
themselves living in.
What
is missing today from this list of
the norms in the modern liberal worldview? Missing is being
gender defined, heterosexual
marriage-making, ethnocentric, and religious-making, among other
conservative things, with group-selection or ethnic selection as the
primary unit of selection. So we can see that because we have
abandoned human nature as defined in the past by tradition and now by
neo-Darwinist sociobiology we are headed for collapse resembling the
collapse of Ancient Greece, the Roman order, and the medieval world.
Given
these norms of the human nature this suggests that the best political
configuration for humans beings to live within is an ethnopluralism
of ethnostates. That is what we should be developing and maintaining
over the long run. An ethnopluralism of ethnostates or regions could
be established legally in the United States from our constitutional
separation of powers and states, and protected by federalism.
