Unity in future evolution
What kind of unity do we need
for the future? A light federation of small states and nations
united in the goal of evolution, not through coercion, but
voluntarily, reasonably and naturally federated and united.
We want bio-cultural diversity with the common goal of evolution to
Godhood. One single group can be wiped out without bio-cultural diversity. As Raymond Cattell suggested, research and religion can
help guide our evolution, and it can be internationally supported.
Transhumanists and Singularitarians are
willing to employ genetic engineering and cyborgian implants in
future evolution as anarchic individuals, but this plan seems
based in the mistake libertarians make of overlooking group-selection
as having been the central creator of ethics in human social
evolution, as E.O.Wilson has reiterated.
Perhaps due to political correctness transhumanists tend to leave out two important ideas on future evolution,
as listed by Cattell: 1, paying attention to the
birth/death ratio rates of populations no longer working with natural selection, due
to modern medicine etc , and 2, affirming a separation of states and groups as happened naturally in human
evolution, along with well chosen breeding---a healthy society will
seek to increase its supply of high IQ's by favoring assortative
(similarity in pairs) mating, which tends to happen naturally anyway.
Even with all the counter forces
against small free states and evolution, it is possible to have mutually agreed upon
autonomy of small states and nations with each following their own paths
of evolution, guided by research and religion, and protected by a
light federalism. This is the only configuration that makes long
term sense given human nature and nature itself. The complexity of
it can be handled, for example, America was even originally set up with many independent small states and light federalism, humans are capable of this, indeed our survival
might depend on it. And it is a divine mission, since the goal is
evolving to Godhood.
