Developing a healthier world compatible with what we actually are as human beings
I don't know exactly where
I would create the dividing line between what I call the Age of
Warriors and the Age of Nurturing in the West, because the "warrior"
remains biologically and genetically the
central feature of men, and "nurturing " remains the
central feature of women, no matter how much communism, feminism and
postmodernism deny this biologically-derived definition of gender differences. Of course
men can be nurturing and women can be warriors but that is not the specialty of the genders.
If we begin the Age of
Warriors in hunter/gatherer times when deep human nature was evolved,
say, a million years ago, give or take, and follow it up to, say, the
fall of the Roman Empire around 476, or the end of the Viking age in
1066 AD, that could be called the long orthodox or formal Age of
Warriors in the West occupying at least 90 percent of human history.
But as I said, since the warrior and the nurturer remain biologically
and genetically the central feature of men and women even today, the
Age of Warriors never really ended, it was just buried or sublimated
by modern culture, especially in the West---with the exception of the
voluntary military men who defend the West, in spite of women being
inserted into the military.
So
does this mean we should go back to an age of tooth and claw and
demand ancient wide differences between men and women, or declare one
supreme noble or chosen people over all others? In our increasingly
crowded world it would bring survival and reproductive disaster to a
people who declared such intentions as the rest of the world would
gang up on them and destroy them.
What
we do
need to do is affirm real human nature and the biological origin of
our social behavior. The science of sociobiology recently affirmed
biologically-derived human nature as being 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
suggests that we should reject (I wanted to say shitcan) the
communists/socialists/liberals, feminists, and postmodernists for
being against real human nature and therefore harmful to life itself.
Then we can get on with developing a healthier world compatible with
what we actually are as human beings, for example, developing the
ethnopluralism of ethnostates often written about in this blog, which is about as equitable as human beings can be given human nature.

Utopian thinking with its feet on real ground: Religion and philosophy as biological propaganda
If people accuse Hegel's philosophy of being "political propaganda" (Kojeve) then what would they say about religion and philosophy as biological propaganda, which it is?
That isn't an overly
reductive statement, it is a basic truth about human and animal life
which is hidden mainly because it discloses real intentions related
to gaining power.
How can we fix our
troubled world with different factions scheming and fighting wars for
power if we won't speak about the primary causes?
When we find the courage
and the smarts to admit the biological origin of our social behavior
then we can have a much better chance of finding longer term harmony.
Both communism and
capitalism may more easily see that a world of ethnostates, or as I
put it an ethnopluralism of ethnostates, is the closest we may come
to longer term political harmony in line with real kin and
ethnic-centered human nature.
Then we can get on with
affirming the sacred, all of us, with all our differences centered on
evolving toward Godhood.
That is utopian thinking
with its feet on real ground.

The great wrong of Sen. Schumer and Rep. Pelosi that cannot be mentioned

Can traditional conservatism avoid its own tragic drama and downfall?
Traditional conservatism
agrees for the most part with the scientific sociobiological view of
human nature---or perhaps I should say that the scientific
sociobiological view of human nature agrees with traditional
conservatism---in human nature across the world being kin-centered,
gender defined, age-graded, heterosexual, marriage-making,
hierarchical, and religious-making, among other things, with
group-selection as the primary unit of successful
selection, followed by individual selection.
But the "religious-making"
of traditional conservatism falls down (like modern liberalism) in
not including ethnocentrism, xenophobia, and fundamental materialism
as an important and
healthy part of human nature. Traditional conservatism excludes
these things mainly due to their view of human nature as having
fallen from the very ascetic Christ who was the most perfect man
with a perfect nature. It is those basic materialistic parts of human
nature that need to be religiously harnessed or guided rather than
called unimportant, or cut out of human nature, or called evil.
And here is where the
traditional conservative view of god needs to be transformed rather
than murdered, by seeing Godhood as material or supermaterial and as
evolved to in the material world. The "fallen"
human nature, the ethnocentrism, xenophobia, and the fundamental
materialism of real human nature can be seen as not fallen but the
very traits involved in our evolution toward real Godhood; those are
the attributes of human nature that need to be harnessed or guided by
both priests and evolutionary scientists toward evolving to Godhood
in our very material world (applying, for example, an ethnopluralism of ethnostates). To call these things evil or fallen is
to block the upward path to real Godhood.
Is traditional
conservatism headed like a tragic drama toward suffering extreme
distress or sorrow and the downfall of the main character? If
traditional conservatism can transform its view of Godhood from the
spiritual to the evolutionary material/supermaterial, and revise its
view of fallen man, then it has a chance to not only survive but
reach the Godhood it has so fervently sought. If not we may see a real
traditional conservative tragedy unfold.

The sacred task of future religion and science
Hegel thought true
satisfaction requires a union of the finite with the infinite,
according to Eliot Jurist, but I believe that demonstrates how
human's always think in human terms, seeing only beginnings and
endings in their human lives they define the universe as having a
first beginning and define Godhood as a final ending.
I see no first beginning
and no final ending, which doesn't kill religion or Godhood, as
science often tells us it does, but it does require a transformation
of religion and Godhood. We evolve to an unending series of
material/supermaterial Godhoods in the material and supermaterial
world, with no beginning and no end.
That means we will get our
religious and scientific satisfactions not from dreaming about a
union of the finite with the infinite but from reaching different
levels of Godhood by way of material evolution---which is the sacred
task of future religion and science.
You will need a stout
heart and a durable ego to sell this religious/scientific overview to
people today. But it's worth it; civilization never lasts long without religion.

The big problem is that the lefty-hedonists do not connect their morality to the biological origin of our social behavior
Bob Dylan had
a sort of genius for creating songs that stick in your head and he now still represents to me many of our
hippie-lefty-scruffy-slightly-stoned youth, but he also embodies
many of the baby boomers who still get weepy (and stoned) about
leftist causes, at least on weekends.
Dylan morphed from a
Jewish boy born and raised in northern Minnesota to a rather
weird-looking, southern-drawling, blues man, complete with
gravely voice probably brought on by heavy drug use.
Weed is supposed to be so
mild but I have seen the heavy use of weed change the personalities
of people, change the way their voice sounds, and the way their mind
works, apparently permanently.
But beyond that serious
problem it is the idiotic leftist/hedonistic philosophy of Dylan,
shared by sanctimonious people like the Clinton's and the Obama's,
and all the lefties in the Media, as well as the lefty baby boomers,
which has caused the most damage to American culture.
The big problem is that
the lefty-hedonists do not connect their morality to the biological
origin of our social behavior---they even declare that such a
connection is racist and bigoted. Dylan has created many dopey songs
about it. And the pedantic professors who taught most of them this
culturally Marxist politically correct garbage are busy doing the
same thing to the next generation.
Real human nature remains
kin and ethnic-centered, and even xenophobic, but real human nature
has been blocked by these decadent lefties, which is mainly what has brought American
culture and the West into steep decline. So the natural and
biologically-derived movement toward populism, conservatism,
nationalism, and even ethnostatism now must struggle against these
established idiots to save the West.

Mutuality rather than submission
"Mutuality"
rather than "submission" is the key idea in adapting the
constitutional separation of powers and states to an ethnopluralism
of ethnostates, protected by some kind of federalism. That is the
political and cultural adaptation to manage the no-longer homogeneous
(and growing more so) American population, and it has the great
advantage of harmonizing with real human nature, which remains kin
and ethnic centered in spite of great social and cultural efforts to
wipe it out. Egalitarian multiculturalism has been imposed by those
who gain temporary power from trying to jam distinctly different
people and cultures into the same living space when for the most part
they don't assimilate. Seeing and presenting an ethnopluralism of
ethnostates as mutuality rather than submission is not only true but
a better way to present it. The imperial supremacy of
one-people-one-culture in our crowded world simply does not qualify,
is unethical, and is bad for the variety preferred in ongoing
evolution.
A conservative religious perspective for material evolution
Science and philosophy
brought us to the evolution of consciousness, self-consciousness, and
reason, and away from spirit, religion and absolute knowing. Hegel
tried to bring them back together in a hierarchical philosophical
scheme and I believe he would have succeeded if he had brought them
all back to material and supermaterial evolution.
When spirit, religion, and
absolute knowing are understood as part of material evolution and not
as a non-material spiritualism we can then retain the custom of
spirit, religion, and absolute knowing.
That is a
conservative religious perspective for material evolution in the
Western world which is rapidly rejecting religion but can this
way include science and religion together in a realistic hierarchical
philosophical scheme that retains an evolving Godhood as the zenith
of material evolution.

Where are we now, and where do we need to go?
I love America and defend
it, but I don't defend the Antifa movement which openly seeks to
block conservative First Amendment free speech, the LGBTQ+ crazies who think they
can circumvent biologically human nature, or the Open Border nuts who
openly want to replace Middle American whites. I defend traditional
America and the principle of law and order, and I affirm
the paleoconservative or traditional conservatives in the desire to
conserve the best of the past. But I
believe we have to go further than the paleoconservatives or
traditional conservatives have wanted to go to save America.
The Left worked on the
offensive for years to make this radical transformation of America
happen, and the Right has been only weakly defensive toward the Left.
The Right being religious (and afraid of being called bigoted) has
been reluctant to affirm all of the elements of the biological
origin of our social behavior, especially the
sociobiological fact that real human nature is kin-centered,
ethnocentric and even xenophobic. But the conservatives do accept
that human nature is gender defined, age-graded, heterosexual,
marriage-making, hierarchical, and religious-making. Conservatives
tend to overlook the fact that group-selection or ethnocentrism has
been the primary unit of successful selection, followed by individual
selection.
I
believe we will need to adapt the constitutional separation of powers
and states and decentralize toward an ethnopluralism of ethnostates.
We are no-longer a nation of only Euro-Americans but a nation that
the Left gleefully tells us will soon be a land where Euro-Americans
are a minority in their own country; and we know as the people and
ethnic groups change the culture and politics change toward the new
preferences.
An
ethnopluralism of ethnostates is the sociopolitical or
political/cultural structure most in harmony with real human
nature which developed many tens of thousands of years ago and is
still very much with us today. I believe we can accomplish
this adaptation of the constitutional separation of powers and states
to an ethnopluralism of ethnostates within
our institutions and through legally established processes. Like the
conservatives and as a deep conservative I don't believe in illegal radical revolutions which
are almost always snuffed out and care nothing for traditions.

Future philosophy: freedom, determinism, happiness, randomness, and satisfaction
If the ongoing evolution of life has
the sacred goal of evolving all the way to an ongoing Godhood then
freedom and happiness are not the goal they have been propped up to
be, but are secondary conditions which happen along the way.
"Satisfaction" might be a better word for what we can
expect as we continue to evolve toward higher forms.
Freedom and determinism
would then be conditioned by that essential activation
within life to evolve toward Godhood, which is a deterministic biological
activation defining the essence of life; satisfaction would come
from bringing life into harmony with what life is in ongoing
evolution.
The path of the ongoing
evolution of life then adapts to or adjusts to the outside environment,
which can sometimes be a random environment of obstacles, but the
activation of life to evolve in the material world to supermaterial
Godhood---which is also defined as the zenith of success in survival and reproduction---is not random.

On the Golden Globe Awards: Hollywood producers and writers have turned our culture into obscene garbage
While surfing last night I
paused at the Golden Globe Awards and I was painfully reminded of how
much I loathe Hollywood and the producers of television and film who
have turned our culture into obscene garbage. And they have done it
not only because the producers and writers are vulgar and talentless
but because they purposely
wanted to tear down American culture. The one thing these
conspirators and betrayers of America are good at is creating
cultural destruction and then grabbing what remains of the leftover
power.
I especially hate
Hollywood and the producers for what they have done to the actresses
who we see parading across the stage dressed and acting like street
hustlers while chasing fame and fortune controlled by those very same
vulgar, talentless, obscene, producers.
Virtually not one
healthy thing is promoted by these showbiz rats unless it is a lie,
not one thing in politics, art, and not in our corrupted schools;
they push only Marxist cultural values while living themselves like
organized crime families peddling cultural devastation. Will they,
can they, ever be stopped, or do we have to wait until nothing is
left of America?
These despicable award
shows gleefully poke their dirty fingers in the eyes of the MEGA red
hat wearing Trumpians who hate them back with equal passion, but what
both may not realize is that those of us who firmly believe in
changing things legally and peacefully may not be able to stop the
hard rain of fascism on the right or the left from falling.

We can't solve a problem if we don't know what the problem is, or if we are forbidden to name the problem
I heard a CEO say: "
America divided doesn't help America or the world." That seems
like common sense, even if you figure in the self-serving nature of a
global businessman saying it.
But looking deeper you
come across the politically incorrect and therefore uncomfortable
fact that different ethnic groups within the same country naturally
compete, which leads to natural divisions.
Then the "common
sense" statement becomes "a country needs to know when its
divisions are unassimilating, and divide accordingly, to avoid civil
disruption or even civil war." We may then have a chance of
solving the problem of our divisions in a peaceful way, and hold
the country together with some sort of federalism that protects the
differences and divisions.
But that ethnopluralistic
solution is enhanced or aided by a sociobiological understanding of
human nature, which remains a "political incorrect"
solution, mainly because businessman like the one quoted above and
culturally Marxist academics who dominate our schools block the
sociobiological understanding of human nature.
As you hear often in this
blog, human nature is basically 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 definition
of human nature basically supports traditional Western values and
morals, and it logically and instinctively suggests---at least to a few people---forming an
ethnopluralism of ethnostates, which could be peacefully adapted to
the constitutional separation of powers and states.
So what or who are the
disrupters of this natural solution to present and future
divisions in the West? The disrupters are the political left,
postmodern philosophy, postmodern art, the Big Media, the academic
world, global business, universalist religions, etc. Depressing
right? But we can't solve a problem if we don't know what the problem
is, or if we are forbidden to name the problem.

Is there a cure for the behavioral psychosis of ethnic suicide?
I see a version of psychosis in many of the white talking heads in the media today indicating impaired contact with reality when they arrogantly and triumphantly declare that white people will soon be a minority in America. It is more than the obvious brown-nosing to trendy minorities, it is suicidal. To arrogantly and even happily announce the decline and death of ones own ethnic group, who share many of your same genes and your same culture, is more than pantywaist cuckoldry, it is sick.
Is
there a cure for the behavioral psychosis of ethnic suicide? I
suppose so, but it will take years to recover. The overall power of the
present media and the academic world who encourage the suicide of
white Western culture will need to be curbed. If we want to be
logical and fair to all groups we will adapt the constitutional
separation of powers and states to an ethnopluralism of ethnostates,
in line with real human nature, which remains kin and ethnic
centered, among other conservative things.

Predictions
President Trump has more
or less been turning the country back to what Srdja Trifkofic called
the "sovereign realism" of pre-1941 America, before the
proto-neoconservative Woodrow Wilson began to condescendingly bully
the World.
But not being an
intellectual and not following fixed patterns of idealism, Trump has
retained a few neoconservative advisers who are trying to turn him toward
foreign adventures, although Trump's lavish preference for Israel
seems to have been there from the start.
So decentralizing America,
bringing the troops home, and giving power back to the states where
power belongs has been more or less happening, even in the face of
the entire media and the entire academic world hating Trump. Trump
has so far had the ego to more or less persist.
But sovereign realism and
populism can only take us half way back to a sound and sane country.
What we face, which sovereign realism and populism have not faced, is
the Western and Southwestern states becoming a non-amalgamating
Latino territory, and the Black inner cities of the nation continuing
to explode in racial conflict and competition.
Real human nature predicts these things will happen because real human nature has the same
human preference for kin and ethic/racial groups, which came to be what
it is during the millions of years that our ancestors lived in
hunting/gathering bands where those genetic preferences were
successful in survival and reproduction, so they became part of human
nature.
But sovereign realism,
populism, and nationalism can be thought of as the first stage of
the return to real human nature, and if that can be successful, the
next stage will be to adapt our constitutional separation of powers
and states to an ethnopluralism of ethnostates, which can then
accommodate the natural competition between Hispanics, Blacks, and
Whites. Otherwise an ethnopluralism of ethnostates will happen
illegally and violently, which we do not want. In our overpopulated world the imperialism and fascism of one group making slaves of the others is unrealistic.
Politics, business, the
stock market, the arts, etc. are the superstructure built upon that
structure of human nature, and their future will eventually accommodate real human nature in any case.

Until all the fields place culture on a biological basis we will be lost
For centuries humans have
been rushing to claim that we are beyond the animals, even in effect
denying that we are animals, and they have overlooked or ignored the
biological origin of social behavior.
Especially since World War
Two where one side pushed a selfish version of the biological origin
of social behavior we have been dominated by resentment and revenge
against the idea. The Gentleman Culture of Europe which could show
benevolence and goodwill toward past enemies---influenced by the
warrior ethos---has been nowhere to be seen among the cads of
politically correctness and cultural Marxism who driven by
resentment and revenge now rule our culture.
The subject is
blocked mainly because it reveals the hidden motive of the biological
will to power activating those who block the subject. Nietzsche was
one of first to have the courage to suggest that psychology needs to
be biologized, anticipating sociobiology and evolutionary psychology.
Until all the fields place
culture on a biological basis, from religion and philosophy to
science and art, we will be lost in the over-complication or
oversimplification that leads to motley alienation and the decay of
modern men and women.

The countermarch through the institutions
As Scott Richert of
Chronicles aptly put it we need a "countermarch" through
the institutions to offset the takeover of the arts, music, film,
television, book publishing etc. to counter the cultural Marxism
that has deformed (not formed) our culture. But the leftist vultures
are not solely responsible for the cultural mess.
Libertarianism among
conservative businessmen shares much of the blame because
concentrating almost exclusively on making a god of individualism and
the freedom to make money came back to bite them when the Hollywood
moguls and leftist publishers and producers of New York, as well as
the academic world, exploited American freedom and deformed a
formerly conservative culture to fit their leftist cultural agendas;
they found that they could make big money but also change
culture in a culturally Marxist direction. They marched through the
institutions and they won the cultural war. It was brilliant.
Now what? Burke and
Kirk's "moral imagination" among artists now portrays only
the political correctness of cultural Marxism. I guess that
countermarch through the institutions has to begin with the first
steps. So where are the marchers? Perhaps some of those otherwise
conservative businessmen who were hoodwinked by making a god of
individualism and money will finance the recovery (there's even money to be made in it). That could redeem
them.

Why is modern culture so stupid?
One of the stupid and dangerous things modern culture does is foment against real
human nature by incessantly demanding in the media and schools that
since people are all equal they must live together in the same living
space, which ends up causing more social problems than it helps.
People, ethnic groups, races, are certainly not the same, they
naturally compete against each other, often causing social disruption
which can even lead to civil war.
So why is modern culture
so stupid? It is mainly do to the brainwashing of cultural Marxism
in the media and in all our schools, but it also has to do with the fact
that some individuals gain advantage, at least in the short-term, by
pushing the lies. For example, creating "no borders" is the
product of global corporations and governments whose leaders become
obscenely wealthy at the expense of the rest of the population. The charge of racism and bigotry
is hurled at anyone who dares to disagree with the sham of
politically correct cultural Marxism, which is even made a
crime in many countries
Then there are the
intellectuals who affirm such things as libertarianism, which makes a
god of individualism, ignorant of, or ignoring, the natural altruism
inherent in human nature which genetically favors the group above the
individual, without rejecting individual competition within
the group, for successful survival.
Modern culture has been
swimming up-stream against the strong current of real human nature.
Group-selection was the natural
way for individuals to successfully survive, and so altruism, or
being for others, was naturally limited mainly to kin and ethnic
group because they shared the same genes that constantly strive for
successful survival. Trying to rid human nature and culture of the
deep-seated biological preference for kin and ethnic group is like trying to rid
human beings of being human, and that is cruel.
We
need to overcome the obstacles that prevent
the natural flow of real human nature toward the natural
decentralization which favors an ethnopluralism of ethnostates.

Well, I've survived half the holiday season
Well, I've survived half
the holiday season and as usual I could not negotiate a rational
discussion with leftist relatives. They believe only in the political
correctness they have thoroughly absorbed from the corrupt media and
the corrupted culture.
So I move closer to
misanthropy, without wanting to go there. What other choice is there
living in a world of the multiculturalism of all values, where
godhood is defined as the equality of everything? I pull back,
think, write, and try to develop thicker skin. But we are
genetically kin and group-centered so it's not a comfortable fit.
I know I'm not alone in
this dilemma and I feel sympathy for others facing the same thing.
Does that means I can avoid misanthropy? I do know that
fighting back against the destruction of Western
people and adapting old tradition to new sociobiology sustains me.

Speaking the same language it is not enough to create harmony in the land
Everyone in the country
speaking English is advocated by conservatives as a remedy for many of our
social problems, but if "everyone" consists of distinctly
different ethnic groups speaking the same language that is not enough
to create harmony in the land.
Yes, speaking the same
language is important, but that shouldn't be used as shell game
hiding the importance of biological, genetic, and cultural
differences between ethnic groups or races.
Ethnic differences are
more disrupting to the nation than not speaking the same language.
This is only common sense which cannot be spoken because it moves
outside the boundaries of the preference for jamming distinctly
different ethnic groups together into the same space and telling them
that, since they are all equal, they must get along.
This deceptive culturally Marxist
social game---also promoted by the international capitalists---will
only work for a time before the whole mishmash naturally splits into
an ethnopluralism of ethnostates. How much better it would be if
that could be done consciously, legally, and peacefully...Have we
evolved enough to be that civilized?

Let merit rule and have the balls to affirm the social results
Men and women have
undeniable different body structures, sexual systems, and biological
responses and processes which for many thousand of years naturally
separated the functions and roles of men and women---even modern
technology which made the independence of women easier has not
changed those biological differences.
The main problem with
the neo-feminists is their call (really demand) for gender equality when
the call should be for MERIT no matter what
the gender. The feminist tend to disguise
what amounts to a call for female supremacy perhaps so they won't be
accused of bigotry against the male gender, which feminism often
displays (someone called them feminazis
do to their methods of censorship and
propaganda). This behavior helps no one.
The same thing applies to
Affirmative Action which chooses by race rather then merit. Let merit
rule and have the balls to affirm the social results. That is how we
make healthy creative societies.
Cultures can operate for a
time with behavior that goes against real human nature, with such
experiments as feminism and 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 (eg. an
ethnopluralism of ethnostates), and humans then work within and adapt
to the environments they find themselves living in.
How the body is ultimately wiser than the mind
There are those who say
that the mind and thoughts rule and those who say the body rules.
Important as the mind is, the mind is part of the body and so the
biology and genetics of of body rule the mind.
All the
cells of the body seek to successfully survive and reproduce and
that primal motivation activates and influences the mind, even as the
mind deals with surviving in the minute to minute environment it
finds itself living in.
The body uses the mind as
an aid in its survival, reproduction, evolution, and cultural
creations. This doesn't diminish the mind it just doesn't
overestimate the mind or underestimate the body.
And this doesn't "limit"
the mind to the body when it is understood that the
zenith of the success of the body is to materially evolve to
Godhood. The body is therefore ultimately wiser than the mind.
But wisest of all is the
combined force within the body activating the body (Tirips) to
materially evolve to the ultimate success of Godhood, while working
with natural selection and evolution in whatever outside environment
the body is living in.

Denying reality in our schools and culture
As Boyd Cathey put it, we teach---really
brainwash---"racial oppression by the white race of black and
brown people, and sexual oppression by men of women. Thus, reading
our history and literature to discover deeply embedded examples of
“racism” and “white supremacy,” and of “male exploitation”
and the “oppression of women,” has become the central
characteristic of the college-classroom experience...Cultural Marxist
ideologues inculcate the theories of “critical race theory” and
the “feminization of history,” to students who have already, in most
cases, endured years of poor education and early indoctrination in
our public schools. They have been “softened up” for this
process..." (Chronicles, Nov 2018.)
Then from a 2016 study there is the reality
that along with this culturally Marxist indoctrination "Only
32 percent of white students scored at or above proficient in math,
and just 7 percent of black students did. Forty-six percent of white
test takers scored proficient in reading, and 17 percent of blacks
did... 34 percent of whites who took the ACT were deemed
college-ready in all four areas—English, mathematics, reading and
science. For blacks, it was only 6 percent."
Here
is the problem in interpreting those real statistics: human nature
IS ethnocentric or racialist and has been since humans became humans.
Group-selection was the only way for individuals to successfully
survive, so altruism, or being for others, was naturally limited mainly to
kin and ethnic group because they shared the same genes which strive for survival. Trying
to rid human nature and culture of the deep-seated preference for kin
and ethnic group, which is attempted by both Marxists and many
conservatives, is like trying to rid human beings of being human.
That is inhumane
and cruel.
The
reality is that human nature is 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. Cultures can operate for
a time with behavior that goes against this human nature, with such
experiments as Marxism, but culture is 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.
So
what does that suggest? It
is more humane to admit that the cultural Marxist ideologues have it
right when they say that people have been and remain ethnocentric and
racialist, but they have it very wrong when they try to create cruel
totalitarian systems to rid the world of real human nature, which
never works. The reality points toward the
political/cultural solution of the ethnopluralism hypothesis, often
written about here. It is a conservative transformation---not
revolution---that is coming, eventually, which will bring about an
ethnopluralism of ethnostates. This is the sociopolitical or
political/cultural structure most in harmony with real human nature,
which developed many thousands of years ago. An ethnopluralism of
ethnostates or regions could even be established legally in the
United States with our constitutional separation of powers and
states, protected by federalism. It may require a few constitutional
amendments to give more power to the states.
The biological origin of our social behavior actually ends the intellectual defense of postmodern relativism and the cultural Marxist ideologues. But it also takes some of the virtue-signaling away from conservatives.

Plot/determinism, character/free will, and the primary force of life
If we compare free will
and genetic determinism to the way Aristotle thought of the
subordination of character to plot in tragedies, the extreme free
will/character folks tend to block the determinist/plot folks, and
the determinist/plot folks tend to block the free will/character
folks. We don't want to see plot destroy character or character
destroy plot or we end up with a drama that doesn't congeal.
The challenge is to define
which is primary and which is secondary when, as E. O. Wilson said,
there is a co-evolution.
Since genetic
determinism/plot is the final arbiter, which keeps human nature on a
biological leash, I say determinism/plot is primary and free
will/character is secondary. We cannot block either out no matter how
intellectually clever we are.
Even so, I think Nietzsche
chose a secondary force when he made the will to power the primary
force of his later philosophy. Darwin was closer in making survival
and reproduction his primary force.
I think the material activation
within material life (Tirips) that seeks the zenith of success in survival
and reproduction, which defines Godhood, is the deeper primary force
activating those other forces that seek power and survival for the
primary ultimate purpose of attaining Godhood, while working along
with outside natural selection and evolution.
The pleasures of eating
and sex are not end-goals but means to survival and reproductive
success, and survival and reproductive success is not the end-goal
but the means to the primary goal of evolving toward the zenith of
those drives, which is Godhood.
This definition can exhume
and transform religion as primary, while certainly including science.
It gives a goal to Nietzsche's relativistic power drive, and creates
values for value-free science.

A biologistic reading of culture
We can't legitimately say
"I will," but we can say "the" will. In
civilizing the beast it would have been more truthful to say that we can
be better animals than to say that we are not animals, as much of
religion and philosophy said for centuries. It takes strength to admit limitations.
We have free will but it
is limited to choices within
the determined path of life and evolution, like a loosened boulder
rolling down a craggy mountain. The activation to live, survive, and
reproduce can only be pseudo-denied with such things as ascetic
discipline, because the will or activation (Tirips) is a vital part
of being alive in every cell of the body, only death can really stop it---which explains part
of the importance of reproduction.
Given the activation to
live, survive, and reproduce which puts our will on a loose-fitting
biological leash, we can legitimately try to harmonize
with what we are, with the life force within us, and aid rather than
hinder our material evolution toward the zenith of biological
success, which is supermaterial Godhood.
That brings forward the
biologistic reading of culture, which rises from the same biological
source.

Power to the Populists and Ethnopluralists
It does seem true that
various kinds of empires always rule, but they also always fall, and
we appear to be seeing the potential
fall of the current global empire, which Nicholas Farrell (Chronicles
Nov 2018) defined as the global corporatist right (neoconservatives)
united with the "humanitarian" globalist left (George
Soros).
Leaders like President
Donald Trump and Italy's Matteo Salvini are attempting to stand
against the globalists on immigration, borders, free trade, and
nationalism. It's a vitally important competition which will decide
the fate of the United States and Europe. The globalist's firmly
believe "nations are only an obstacle to profit" and have
been trying to get rid of nations, borders, and ethnic groups.
Americans and Europeans
have been rising against the European Union and the greedy
centralized states controlled by the globalists. Populists in the
U.S. and Europe seem finally willing to vote and protest against the
globalist's who have been driving the Western world into the
ground for personal profit and power, even colluding with China to
ruin the West.
President Donald Trump has
had the bold personalty (some call it narcissism) to stand up in the
face of constant attacks by the Big Media and stabs in the back by
his own party, although he now seems to be gradually sliding toward
the neoconservatives who are like rats who won't be trapped. But I
suppose we shouldn't count Trump out yet.
The next logical,
instinctive, and natural
stage is for populism to develop into an ethnopluralism of
ethnostates. That is developing too. So, things look good, though hazardous.
