Nature-Given

 

Rights are Nature-given – not god-given. They come from the cosmos. Human freedom of behavior and action derives from reality and Nature.

Mother Nature has her own nature and iron-clad rules. All entities inside her must obey these universal and omnipotent rules.

Mother Nature also creates human nature. By their constitutions, humans must follow and adhere to the standards of Nature – or suffer. People must conform themselves to the inherent laws and various actions of the cosmos. Reality is rigid and unforgiving. Humans who live inside it need full freedom to best survive and thrive.

Nature consists of time and space, space and matter, matter and energy, energy and entropy, order and disorder, cause and effect, life and death, and the good-for-life and evil-for-life – among other things. Human nature consists of a need for air, water, food, warmth, meaning, purpose, achievement, satisfaction, morality, nobility, greatness, pleasure, and happiness – among other things. Nature and human nature make rich demands upon human beings, including regarding rights.

No person is born with the right to violate the rights of others. No-one possesses such metaphysical and existential superiority. The concept of a right to violate rights makes no sense. Individual rights and personal liberty are natural, universal, and absolute. It’s always legally and morally wrong to trespass them.

But if in some obscure sense there do exist such creatures and predators that possess the right to violate rights, trespass liberty, and enslave others, then mankind needs to escape them or wipe them out. Such powerful predators and parasites must be avoided or extincted. These monsters constitute an unacceptable danger to humanity.

Humans of the same species are naturally and inherently equal in freedom and rights. Even Neanderthals and Homo Erectoids would be if they still existed. Only low-order animals like wolves, dolphins, and chimpanzees are given inferior rights by Nature.

This equality and infinity of rights and freedoms is true for all the sub-species of man currently in existence. No matter how superior Mother Nature has made one race or ethnicity to another in intelligence, morality, merit, talent, creativity, versatility, adaptability, health, athleticism, pulchritude, etc. it still has no rights beyond that of its cousins. Even the really low human sub-species have the right to be free.

Only if a human being is a child, retard, or lunatic who can’t properly take care of himself is he given less than full and equal rights by Nature. When such an unusual situation obtains then other competent humans have a social duty to take care of them if they reasonably can – especially if they’re responsible for their creation, such as with kids.

But otherwise Nature and human nature demand that all human beings be fully free and self-responsible. This is necessary in order to most effectively deal with reality and have the best opportunity to be great and happy. The right of the Holy Individual to think, speak, and do as he wishes and chooses – provided he respect the equal and concomitant right of others to do the same – is natural, inherent, inalienable, and absolute. Mother Nature and human nature make it so.
