Raising the lower level to the higher level

The Right seeks (usually) to raise the lower level to the higher level, but the Left usually wants to bring the upper level down to the lower level seeking “equality.” The Left and Right can agree if they both proclaim that they want to raise the lower level to the higher level. Equality is never the goal, nothing is equal on earth. The goal should be to continue to evolve toward higher levels of truth, intelligence, higher consciousness, beauty and goodness.

Basically, we need both genetic and cultural innovation. What usually happens is the brilliant lead and create culture, and the less brilliant follow. There exists not just a cultural lag but a genetic lag between the leaders and followers. As the brilliant become genetically less frequent culture declines. On the other hand, when the genetic endowment can do more than it is doing, the culture can also lag---Cro Magnon's had the genetic equipment to do modern physics---revolutions seem more likely under those circumstances as well.

What Raymond Cattell speculated about was consciously helping to modify the genetic lag through the promotion of the higher reproduction and gene selection of people with socially desired traits, and reduced reproduction of people with less-desired traits---voluntarily. That is, modifying the genetic lag toward the more brilliant cultural demands rather than to have this happen always by chance, which seems to be causing more of a lag between the higher and the lower, with the less brilliant having more children, and culture slowly declining. This would cause less suffering in general, and so it could be a humane undertaking.

This makes sense to me, and it would to the population too if the Media and the academic world would stop falsely calling it evil. Especially since the sacred mission is to evolve toward Godhood.
