Why the capitalist world is not wise about its own future
Supposedly the capitalist world cares
primarily (often only) for making money, and now most of the
capitalist world supports such modern liberal causes as gay marriage,
border-freedom, tax-free exports/imports, no censorship, etc, etc, because these things are now supported by future customers
between the ages of 18 and 34. But since these liberal causes do
ultimately destroy the societies and nations which the capitalist
world wants to do business with, one would think the concern with
making money in the long-term would reject modern
liberal causes and support a more long-term conservative order. But the hyper-individualist libertarian philosophy supports or rationalizes
this short-term thinking.
So we can conclude that the
capitalist world is short-term thinking and unwise about its own
future. Individualism is important and can be very creative, but
group-selection is and always has been the primary unit of human selection. Even the
billionaire needs the group and a healthy nation to
survive and prosper---certainly his descendants will in the long-term. “Duty” toward the people and the
nation is directly related to group-selection, so it makes trans-valued sense that the
libertarian Randians hate the concept of duty and worship selfish
individualism. This is a major mistake which has led to the selfish,
marauding, imperial sort of globalism we now see. The end-goal of
successful survival for the group, including the individual, determines the
means of duty and group-morality, which both Kant's
duty-as-no-reward-thinking, and Ayn Rand's hyper-individualistic
selfishness seem to have missed.
