What Nietzsche and Cattell pointed toward

I affirm much of Nietzsche and much of Cattell in this blog. Nietzsche was not the libertarian individualist and Cattell not the racist that political correctness or cultural Marxism distort them as. Frankly, I believe Cattell improved on Nietzsche and I believe that the evolutionary religion I espouse improves on Cattell.

We need to evolve and improve both our given genetic nature and our acquired cultural nature, which Nietzsche called our “second nature.” Culture should not be a perversion of our genetic nature. Our actual human nature, where the individual is instinctively tied to ethics naturally created by his specific group-selection, would then tend to lead to many naturally occurring small states or ethnostates, protected by a light federalism, each evolving with variety, and having cooperative competition as the international goal.

But that is not enough. We require a transcendent ideal, beyond the individual, beyond the group, beyond the state, an evolutionary conservative ideal that includes but transforms the old order, and which has as its sacred and transcendent goal our evolution to Godhood in the cosmos. I think this is what Nietzsche and Cattell pointed toward.
