The biggest problem with political thinking today is the lack of information on the biological origin of social behavior, or the blocking of this field. This applies to virtually everyone from the experts in the field, to politicians, and to ordinary people.
What we need is a new field to help make cultural sense of the sociobiological perspective in human nature and culture, we need a philosophical sociobiology.
The evolutionary science of sociobiology has excellently defined and explained human nature and human culture. Sociobiology does not inevitably lead to Marx, Spengler or Goebbels, this is a scare tactic. Just because progress can be affirmed through evolution does not mean that one does not believe in the past or in traditions.
I say don't study “political science” until you first study sociobiology. Read Edward O. Wilson's books, he is at least as accessible as Marx, and much wiser. The evolutionary sciences should be taught front and center in the humanities. Why isn't sociobiology featured in the humanities? You know the answer, sociobiology is not politically correct in that nefarious culturally Marxist community where the biological origin of social behavior is the kiss of death to their absurd ideas about the cultural origin of social behavior.
The biological origin of our social behavior, as empirically explained by sociobiology, actually ends the intellectual defense of the modern liberals and the postmodern relativists. As long as we are alive every cell in our body demands survival and reproductive success. This natural activation can be blocked, subverted, or it can be unknown to us, but it can't legitimately be intellectually or instinctively denied.
Real human nature and natural rights relate very well to primary group-selection, with individual selection as secondary, which, for example, could be affirmed with regional ethnostates in the American constitutional separation of powers and states, while being protected by federalism. In the natural configuration of ethnostates human nature can be free to be what it is: genetically ethnocentric, even xenophobic, as well as being kin-centered, gender defined, age-graded, heterosexual marriage-making, etc.
Conservative's have not fully realized yet that multiculturalism has made their nations too diverse for nationalism to take hold, and modern liberals think nationalism and ethnocentrism are evil. So reforming the West in harmony with the biological origin of social behavior will not be easy, but it can't legitimately be intellectually or instinctively denied forever.
