Sociobiology and Revitalized Conservatism

Real conservatism, the Russell Kirk kind of conservatism, is based in the knowledge that there is vast amounts of unconscious wisdom in the culture. This necessarily limits the power of rationalism. Culture cannot or should not fight against human nature, otherwise human nature will snap back, often in revolution.

Ethnic groups are often culturally distinct, and this is good, not bad. Raymond Cattell points out that cultural natural selection essentially operates on ideas. Genetic patterns affect the acceptance of cultural patterns and cultural patterns help to mold genetic pools. Sameness everywhere is not good for the creativity and invention that comes with variety.

Human nature can be released from the bondage of social philosophies such as Marxism, and the cultural Marxism of the academic world, which deny or ignore what human nature actually is. Human nature can be affirmed in the form of many small states, with a light federalism protecting their independence. States and regions can be seen as places where different ethnic groups can thrive in variety. What we need to avoid is imperialism and supremacy on the part of any one people. This is deeply conservative and does not fight against basic human nature.

Then we can get on with the sacred religious mission of evolving to Godhood in the cosmos through Revitalized Conservatism and Ordered Evolution.
