We see a glorious future for mankind

There have been a few gloomy blog posts here lately, for example, Buchanan's new book on the suicide of the West, and several  bad economic warnings regarding globalism. This is somewhat unusual for this blog, which is usually forward looking and positive. But I deal in realism, and studies have shown that most people are unrealistically optimistic, it helped people survive. However, sometimes realism is necessary, especially during times of crises.

During times of decline people often go back to the past, with nostalgia, or old folk forms, old traditions are reconstituted. The present and future are left out. Some live only in the present. Some escape to the future and reject everything else. As globalism degenerates, many people are going back to their roots, back to smaller nations and states, embracing their own traditions, their own people. This can be good in many ways, but living only in the past or only in the present can also be the result of nihilism, when people see no future and believe in nothing they escape to the past, or escape into art, or escape to whatever. This is what concerned Nietzsche ( his birthday today), even as he could affirm only relative truths himself.

Here is beauty of the worldview presented in this blog: while we are relentlessly realistic (not pessimistic or optimistic) about the world, we see a glorious future for mankind---we are evolving to Godhood in the cosmos. Yet we affirm the past and present in the Twofold Path. This is the sacred way out of decline and nihilism. The material joins the spiritual in supermaterial evolution to Godhood. Evolution works well with small states and localism, which people prefer any way, to retain positive advances. The future needs the past in Ordered Evolution, and with Revitalized Conservatism.  This is a future we can believe in.
