Contra the one-worlder “evolutionary spiritualists”

There is a popular bias in the “evolutionary spirituality” movement suggesting that because human life has been moving from small family units to empire, this should be defined as “evolutionary” and a good thing.

This plays into the one-world government movement, which has been attractive to fascists and communists, although the evolutionary spiritualists present a softer left-leaning face. But more to the point, there is sociobiological evidence that human evolution can stop or go backward when this kind of convergence takes place. And Realists have for some time shown that the world becomes more dangerous with concentrated power, and that a balance of powers in fact leads to a more peaceful world.

Evolution thrives on divergence more than convergence. It would be far more evolutionary, and historically realistic, to promote a world of thousands of independent states, perhaps respected as a federation of evolving small states, with independent evolving populations. Variety is essential if evolution, and life itself, is to continue.
