Ordered evolution and the middle-class
It seems that other than the
middle-class, which tends to hold on to traditions that derive from
real human nature, the other classes seem revolutionary or decadent.
Decadent upper classes (often neoconservative) are increasingly
creating only two classes, the rich and the poor, and this is
accomplished at the expense of the middle-class. The middle-class is
now being destroyed by global Big Money/Big Business and by unchecked
immigration. And the lower class revolutionaries (often Marxist) rise by
destroying middle-class conservative order. The weakness of the
middle-class is their negative reaction to all change, but this seems somewhat
easier to remedy than trying to turn decadents or revolutionaries
into conservatives.
I believe conservatism needs to be
understood as stagnating and harming the middle-class (and all
groups) if it doesn't value evolutionary change within conservatism.
Evolution not revolution needs to be thought of as slow but
permanent. Ordered evolution rates higher than ordered liberty, which makes people too happy with the status
quo. Ordered evolution affirms conservative order
along with evolutionary change. There is a “maturational lag”
involved in genetic improvements which requires time and order to
adapt the changes. The fast pace of artificial intelligence should
also slow down for the same adaptive reasons so that AI doesn't end
up controlling us.
After all, it is the sacred evolution
of material and supermaterial life toward Godhood which is the
religious transformation required.
