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.
