(The shame of the taboos against evolutionary sociology and genetic
engineering)
Evolutionary sociology and genetic engineering can be benevolent and altruistic in preventing the
miserable suffering and collapse of individuals and societies. As
Raymond Cattell said, there is a difference between emotional
compassion and “planful altruism.”
By studying the genetic as well as the
cultural causes of the fall of people and groups, these cruel things
can be prevented, so that we all can get on with the sacred business
of evolving to Godhood, which is also prevented by the taboo against
evolutionary religion.
In the future these taboos will be seen
as irrational and even dangerous biases. It is ironic that those who
propagate these biases usually do so to try to advance themselves or their
group, consciously or unconsciously.
Of course there are dangers to human
administration in any field, but fear of the truth must not block new
truths. For example, people can simply be sociobiologically maladjusted to the cultures
they live within, and it takes more than education in job skills,
important as education is, to change things for future
generations. There must at least be voluntary ways to
restrict the birth rates or genetically improve the maladjusted,
rather than to try to cover it all over with blind charity, which does not
change the problem in the long run and can often make things worse.
The universe is not cold and
indifferent, since I believe that all life is activated to evolve to Godhood, and
therefore humans should not be cold and indifferent. We cannot
really block sex and aggression but we can control them, especially
when evolving to Godhood is the purpose of it all. In any case, the
natural justice of natural selection will take place, and groups that
do not or cannot choose wisely will collapse.
We can prevent these
miserable collapses with real altruism and compassion by way of the
sociobiological sciences, and with evolutionary religious values.
