Both the Left and the Right try to remould human nature to fit their worldviews


The Left remoulds human nature to fit their ideology which says that since we are all the same, culture must make us all the same. But even though the traditional Right remoulds real human nature far less than the Left, the foundation of the traditional Right tries to remould human nature toward non-material spiritualism, eg. “we are all the same under a non-material God.”

The evolutionary sciences since Darwin (eg. sociobiology) have been gradually and empirically honing in on real human nature across the world and found that human nature is genetically 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 fits the Right far more than the Left, until the right brings in spirituality as the foundation of their worldview.

But this reality does not mean that God and religion are rejected, theological materialism brings Godhood and religion back to the material world by affirming the material evolution to supermaterial Godhood. Theological materialism can make theology the king of the sciences again, as it was for so long in the Euro-American past.

The material evolution to supermaterial Godhood does not remould human nature but harmonizes with human nature and follows evolution as evolution moves inevitably in a pattern---even though it has random elements---and that pattern has a discernible direction, in spite of instances of stagnation and retreat, toward higher and higher more effective living forms, always evolving toward Godhood. Any “remoulding” would aid this movement, not try to change it.
