What can we do?


I don’t think we can put Western Civilization back in the bottle after it has been poured out, our decline seems inevitable. Almost all elements of our civilization and culture have fallen or are declining---even if modern technology seems to continue to be creative, technology is often used in frivolous or damaging ways. Traditional religion, art (both high and low), trade, the military, family, gender differences, etc etc., all have declined or fallen.

Most of the decline has been related to the false and impossible attempt to move away from real human nature. The newest neo-cortex part of our human brain has overestimated itself and its freedom in relation to the deeper and more powerful parts of human nature, which has caused physiological and psychological regulation problems, and cultural neurosis.

Human nature has historically and sociobiologically been defined and affirmed across the world as being kin-centered, gender defined, age-graded, heterosexual marriage-making, hierarchical, ethnocentric, even xenophobic, and religious-making, with group-selection as the primary unit of selection, among other traditional things. We can see by this how far we have attempted to move away from real human nature. What can we do about it?

Here are some basic things I think about and build on. Existence is identical with the material and supermaterial object itself. There is mainly a biological origin to social behavior, although there is also co-evolution between genes and the environment. Group-selection is the primary unit of selection, which seems to mean that ethnopluralism with small states and regions protected by a light federalism is the most natural and long lasting sociopolitical philosophy. Life evolves materially and supermaterially from simple life all the way to supermaterial Godhood in the cosmos, and our religious mission is to help life along the way to Godhood.

We can try to live well even in the midst the cultural Marxism that surrounds us which is destroying us. For example, stay out of trouble, do nothing illegal, stay conservative, build our religion. No civilization has risen or sustained itself without being based in religion.
