This should be the rallying cry of
conservatism, freedom within evolution, or ordered evolution, rather than freedom within
order, or ordered freedom.
The order in real evolution comes from
the long-term need of conservative stability, which provides the time
for positive rather than negative cultural and genetic traits to rise
to the surface. Radicalism turns over the game table before the game is completed.
That is the way to move the evolution
of life forward conservatively, while evolving toward higher beauty,
truth and goodness. Human beings can assist in this process by the
choices they make, with the goal of evolving to Godhood as the zenith
of religious and cultural goals.
Directly related to freedom within
evolution, or ordered evolution, is the idea that group-selection needs to be accommodated
first, with individual selection following after, because
group-selection remains the primary means of successful survival and
reproduction, and given human nature, it remains at the origin of real social altruism.
Group-selection, or ethnocentrism, is often hidden behind the lies of
various "isms," especially beneath libertarianism which
worships the individual.
We have been gradually learning what
human nature actually is over human history, along with its
connection to biological evolution and human culture. Ethnopluralism, the next version
of conservatism, is the most harmonious way to proceed toward ordered freedom
within evolution.
