Defending an always evolving aristocracy
It is usually not said that aristocracy
does not depend on wealth or civilized taste alone but also on
genetic qualities. Good genetic qualities lead to intelligence which
in turn can lead to a financial aristocracy, but then education and
civilization are required to make a real aristocracy.
Although I am more or less a populist on the right believing in localism, and the separation of powers, states, and people, I can't be against the inequality of
wealth, the level of civilization, or genetic qualities, I am not a
socialist or Marxist. But the genetic lag between people and
cultures, which is one of the main causes of problems between people
and cultures, can in fact be addressed with humane genetic and
eugenic actions for all who desire it.
But the goal is not merely to develop a
wealthy and civilized human evolving aristocracy, but to continue
evolving on earth and out into the cosmos toward Godhood, which is
defined as the highest material and supermaterial aristocracy, the highest beauty, truth, goodness, consciousness and intelligence. This
evolution toward Godhood defines the sacred goal of life.
As to “heroes of the mind,” they
need to be linked to the evolution of life, human life, and to the evolution of higher
species on the path to Godhood. That is the first supposition of
human history and the most worthy goal of religion, philosophy, art
and politics. It all starts from this natural basis. Compare this
goal to the consciousness, thoughts, and conceptions of modern
intellectuals.
As I have suggested here before regarding
high art, we drifted away from didactic and moral art as we became
more literate, but as evolutionary psychologists have pointed out,
story-telling had survival benefits in the Pleistocene, and it still
does, when we relate beauty to real biological life, evolution, and
religion. There is no need to use a hammer to didactically or morally
inspire in art, past aristocracies have shown us that art is usually best when it is subtle. The idea of
Godhood attained in future evolution has sacred artistic and
religious value, but it also has survival and reproductive value. And
great art has always affirmed the sacred.
