The reconciliation of opposites that the conservative “fusionists” applied left out biology, specifically sociobiology, and that seems to have doomed them


Much of this had to do with the objections of the neoconservatives who would label anyone who mentioned biology or the biological origin of social behavior a racist, which could destroy careers.

Much of the objection also came from the Catholic conservatives who could not reconcile the the biological origin of social behavior with the spiritual origin of social behavior, especially the idea that religion was the consequence of the biological origin of social behavior seeking bonding order for better survival.

The inherent chutzpah of the neoconservatives claimed Pat Buchanan was anti-Semitic and kicked Pat, who is a realist not an anti-Semite, out of the conservative journal “National Review,” which had been overwhelmed with well organized neoconservatives, like many conservative institutions.

So what is to be done? Is conservative fusionism over? Not for me. The biological origin of our social behavior actually ends the intellectual defense of postmodern relativism and the cultural Marxist ideologues. But it also takes some of the virtue-signaling away from conservatives. Fusionism needs the reconciliation of the opposites of spiritualism and materialism, and virtually no-one wants to go there. It means grounding conservatism in the biological origin of social behavior, and no one wants to go there either---the Alt right will go there but most of them reject conservatism.

The biological origin of our social behavior brings forward the idea of ethnostates and an ethnopluralism of ethnostates, based on real kin and ethnic-centered human nature, which in the U. S. could even be established legally with our constitutional separation of powers and states, protected by federalism.

The goal of materially evolving to Godhood need not deprive us of either science or religion. As I wrote yesterday, the fusion of the Twofold Path in theological materialism respects the philosophy of conservatism and retains the "non-material" Inward Path of traditional religion, but transforms it in the Outward Path of material and supermaterial evolution to real Godhood. The traditional peak material experience of God reached inwardly by blocking material desires is seen as the first preliminary experience of Godhood now understood as reached by material and supermaterial evolution. The old testaments of traditional religions are retained but transformed in the new evolutionary religious commitments.
