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.
