Individual and Group Selection

Western individualism increased during the Enlightenment in the 1600's and from here the modern world seems to have progressed away from the traditional world, and then democracy and technology were affirmed over Tradition. But this individualism in the West became unbalanced with super-individualism leading to the present decay of Western Capitalism.

We agree with the branch of Sociobiology which says that the most vital selection takes place at the group level. What is best seems to be the balance between individual and group selection leaning toward the group, defined in Revitalized Conservatism, and reflected in Cattell's Beyondism.
