The politically incorrect religious/social change needed


Raymond Cattell was rightly concerned that the ten percent of our population who are technologically unemployable will rise to 60 percent of  humans, and they will be left to vegetate or cause serious mischief---and the increase in robotics will add to this number. Welfare can help but at the expense of affording more positive programs, and an increase in service jobs and harmless amusements can help, but this will not solve the problem. We will one day have to face up to the fact that genes and nature play as big a part in who we are as nurture and the environment.

The stark reality is, we need to see less reproduction of the now more numerous genetic/cultural mutations which do not fit well for higher culture, and more of the now less numerous genetic/cultural mutations that do fit well for higher culture. 

When the deepest foundation of religion becomes the base for refining our culture and our evolution in this way, then these changes may be seen as humane, which they are. In general we are evolving toward the zenith of intelligence, beauty and noble character, which is Godhood, and that will be the direction of reproduction in the religious values of the future. 

This need not even go against the traditional religions, when the Inward God, seen through ascetic disciplines, is included but transformed to the Outward Godhood arrived at through material and supermaterial evolution.

The fact that this is now very much politically incorrect and not fitting with the cultural Marxism or the neoconservatism of our present culture shows how far we need to change before we can actually help ourselves.
