Toward an Evolutionary Conservatism that answers both Burke and Foucault

I base my philosophy on what I define as theological materialism, the biological evolution of material life to supermaterial Godhood. Unlike Michel Foucault, who reduced everything to elements in a big system where everything, all culture and knowledge, are basically the will-to-power, or are discourses on the will-to-power, and where truth changes as the epoch changes and truth is imposed by the “class” that most profits from their version of the truth, leading to a cultural relativism---much of which was gleaned from Nietzsche.

I don't think conservatives can rightly accuse me of trying to destroy what exists merely to pursue what I see as a better future, as the communists tend to do. I seek to reform what exists, but not merely with superficial intellectual facades. A Conservatism which only wishes to reconcile conflicting interests and maintain law and peace, is simply not enough. I see the Humanities revitalized with the discipline of sociobiology, blended with an evolutionary religion that revitalizes but does not exclude existing religions. And science does not have to devalue Traditionalism if it applies sociobiology toward the investigation of religion. Science produces metaphysical nihilism when it does not see biology and human life with a sacred goal, and the sacred goal is evolving toward Godhood, the Godhood that was first symbolically experienced in the Inward Paths of the revealed religions.

I disagree with the Burkeans when they say that society cannot be organized to a material plan or a goal, and that there is no direction to material history. This might be more true if biology and future evolution are left out of the worldview, as both the conservatives and modern liberals tend to do. Theological materialism says that biological evolution, seen in relation to natural law and moral law, has a plan which is more than the random successful survival and reproduction that science tends to see. Life is evolving to Godhood. That is the origin, the plan, the goal, and the organization. And furthermore, the Spirit-Will-To-Godhood activates life inwardly to evolve toward Godhood even as life is shaped outwardly by evolution.

Our kinship with the more traditional paleoconservatives comes from their natural, biological loyalty to the group, to home, to a sense of place and territory, while living in various regions and small states that would better be seen as ethnostates---this is where the Ethnopluralism Hypothesis makes sense. I see Ordered Evolution as Conservative, evolution needs long-term social order to better understand what works best as we evolve, since most new things do not work well.

I agree with those who believe that the individual is important, especially those individuals who advance the health of the group, but selection takes place at the group level, as the great founder of sociobiology, E. O. Wilson, has recently affirmed. Individuals need to bond within the group.

Why do we have the continued fear of biology and sociobiology? It is not racist to talk about future biological evolution. World War II is over, it is ignoble to perpetually dwell in intellectual resentment and revenge regarding ongoing human biological evolution. Those who try to ruin careers with smears of racism need to be called out for their intellectual dishonesty. We are all, all people, all ethnic groups, evolving toward Godhood, or should be consciously working toward this great goal, and we need to stop killing one another and get on with a realistic competitive cooperation in this sacred mission.

Knowledge is embedded in biology, but it is a sacred biology leading toward Godhood in evolution, which leads to more than the biologically/evolutionary goalless Burkeans, or the will-to-power/Nietzsche/Foucault cadres still ruling our colleges and universities.
