Overcoming the waste, fraud and destruction of modern intellectual cultural movements


Totalitarian political correctness, or cultural Marxism, is the watered-down intellectual base of hedonistic, nihilistic, anarchistic, popular culture. Postmodernism is the more esoteric version of this, claiming that all philosophical and religious truths are relative, other than its own. Although intellectually complicated and very damaging this cultural movement really is almost total crap. Nietzsche seems to have been the inspiration for much of this thinking, although he himself believed in the values of national ethnic culture in his early writings, and the cultural-biological creation of superman in his later writings, which of course is not the politically correct way to interpret his writings.

The science of sociobiology alone demolishes these intellectual pretensions. We are alive with all the drives and passions involved in being alive. There is a biological origin to cultural behavior, including gender differences and ethnic differences, among many other things, with an inborn deterministic drive to survive and reproduce successfully, which cannot legitimately be denied no matter how clever the denials.

The Traditionalist School has attempted to counter these modern intellectual frauds with a fraud of its own which essentially denies any real importance to the material world, although like much of religious theology it has made very cunning attempts to include the real world in its life-hating, science-hating, evolution-hating religious philosophy. We need to move beyond the waste, fraud and destruction of these movements. We have the freedom to choose but it is a freedom within limited choices. Emerging religion and philosophy affirm real life and real evolution, as life itself seeks to evolve to Godhood in the cosmos, and it is the sacred mission of human beings to help it along the way.
