If society were set up according to nature, Gruhl believes, cultures would institute prescriptions against those who deviate from their existing norms, since "in the hunting grounds of the wilderness, if an animal breaks the unwritten law of the herd and goes its own way, it generally pays for this independence with its life." 110 Moreover, cultures should be kept separate from one another: "When many cultures are all jumbled together in the same area, the result will be that they live alongside each other, in conflict with each other, or . . . they will undergo entropy, becoming a mixture whose value lessens with every intermixing, until in the last analysis it has no more worth." The reason for cultural separation too has its basis in 'natural law,' "a law of entropy which we particularly have in ecology, and this law also holds for human cultures." 111

What I love about the natural world is its dissembling, collapsing, merging, partitioning, and patchwork systems that make no rational sense at all, and therefore any thing can be found out there.
For example, it can be argued the evolutionary teleos of sexual reproduction is to mix the genetic make up of every member of the gene pool with every other member. From this I draw the conclusion mother nature is a slut. And further, I conclude that deviants (or deviance) are (is) in the critical position of erasing the boundaries of any cohering norm (moral, statistical or genetic). So, then, it follows that the dynamics of evolution depend on deviation from such a norm. Then, conversely, those who selectively eliminate diversity and deviation, condemn their norms to isolation, specialization, and extinction.
One can only pray, evolution takes its course and the purer elite races, particularly the rightwing christians, all die off from the same family of tragic birth defects, leaving the world safely to the deviant and mongrel hordes.
