It takes courage to find the truth and it often takes courage to express the truth publicly. The truths of life are often hard to accept because truths often don't harmonize with the prevailing culture, especially in the modern world. Defining real human nature has suffered this fate. Human nature is not as free as either traditional man or modern man think it is. We have a biology determined human nature even if modern man doesn’t think we do. Our real freedom is limited by various determined choices, but we have the flexibility to be mistaken about who we are and what we can do which helped us in making survival over non-survival choices in the various environments presented to us in nature.
The best and most recent sociobiological knowledge has been telling us that human nature, affirmed throughout human history, has been, and continues to be basically, kin-centered, gender defined, age-grading, heterosexual marriage-making, hierarchical, ethnocentric, even xenophobic, and religious-making, among other things, with group-selection as the primary unit of selection. This is basic human nature.
If we include what we really are in our cultural schemes and programs we will admit our behavior, intelligence, and personalities are to a large extent heritable. Both liberals and paleoconservative's block or conceal the ethnic-centered and xenophobic parts of human nature. If real kin and ethnic-centered human nature was allowed to be what it is, it would naturally lead to ethnostates, and finally, if we are wise, to an ethnopluralism of ethnostates for all groups, black, white, brown, yellow, or red, with each ethnostate protected from marauding imperialists, global businesses, supremacists, Marxists, etc., and defended by a defensive federalism. An ethnopluralism of ethnostates could be established legally in the United States with our constitutional separation of powers and states.
Rational
utterly sane culture depends on people accepting real human nature.
The great failure in defining real human nature threatens our very
survival with wars between marauding imperialists, global businesses,
supremacists, Marxists, etc.
