If we ask how competitive different
groups should be, the basic answer is as long as there is no risk of
destruction of the human species, competition can go forward. There
should also be restrictions on big nations turning on small nations and devouring them. And populated nations should not
be allowed to ship there surplus populations to another nation. But
the most important restriction on competition is the risk of
destruction of the world of nations and groups.
As social psychologist Raymond Cattell
said, competition is the best way to improve group structure, to
advance technology, to improve the ethics of the group in altruism
toward the survival of the group. Each group needs to receive the
consequences of its own actions for positive natural selection to take
place. Cattell rightly wanted to avoid what he called the “Hedonic
Pact,” an agreement to abolish all competition in order to enjoy a
hedonistic life style. This would stop evolution. This means we avoid totalitarian imperialism and one-people supremacy, which bring no
competition and fusion of all cultures into one mediocre culture.
Above all, we must not stop evolution which leads to the purpose for our being
here, to evolve to Godhood.
