Regarding a truly synthesized, integrated, and natural social system
The ancient Greeks tried
to develop a total work of art, a universal artwork, an all-embracing
art form that made use of all art forms. Wagner talked about doing
the same with his Gesamtkunstwerk, or total art work.
Conservative's like to say
they are against ideologies and political totalisms but traditional
conservatism does include integrated assertions, theories, and aims
that constitute a total sociopolitical program, it just doesn't
include authoritarianism or despotism. The one separation
conservatives have that keeps them from a truly integrated system is
their religious separation between the material and the spiritual.
Theological materialism
doesn't make the metaphysical error of separating the material and
the spiritual and affirms a truly synthesized and integrated natural
system that synthesizes the basic political and cultural separation,
independence, and freedom of an ethnopluralism of ethnostates for all
distinct ethnic groups, along with a
religious philosophy to express the material evolution of life to
supermaterial Godhood. And the sacred goal of evolving to
ascending levels Godhood need not deprive us of either science or
religion.
Even the smallest change
in human nature and our DNA structure, for example, in our immune
system, took hundreds of thousands of years (now we have genetic
engineering which may be more rapid), but human nature across the
world remains
kin-centered, gender defined, age-graded, heterosexual
marriage-making, hierarchical, ethnocentric, even xenophobic, and
religious-making, among other things, with group-selection, which
usually mean ethnic selection, as the primary unit of selection.
Rational and instinctive channeling of human drives, education, and
human cultures in general need to move in this natural and integrated
direction.

Transforming with evolution those first ancient inward experiences of Godhood
We can retain the traditional, conservative, classical, and biblical experience of the inward God, and
most of the morality that comes with it, but a spirit didn't speak to
religious founders from outside of the human material experience,
it was the deepest part of human nature within the natural world that
did the speaking, and it was not spiritual but was a peak material
experience.
The Outward Path of
material evolution to ongoing levels of supermaterial Godhood
transforms but does not replace those first peak inward material
experiences of Godhood. The Twofold Path contains both the inward and
outward paths.
The moral laws come from
nature, including the essential material activation within
life (Tirips) to evolve to ascending levels of Godhood---which also
defines the zenith of success in survival and reproduction---while
adjusting to the ongoing unpredictable dynamics of natural outside
evolution.
These essential
conservative and evolutionary principles in theological materialism transform but do not
reject the old inward path.

The future direction of political cultures
William
Lind showed us how Political Correctness is Marxism translated from
economic into cultural terms. Cultural Marxist's (which modern
liberals have virtually become) give materialism a bad name by
misusing reason and science in being hostile to the natural order and
real human nature in their value systems and in their views of good
and evil, even though they claim to represent the soul of reason and science.
The
evolutionary sciences have shown us that the natural order has
evolved a human nature that is genetically kin-centered,
gender defined, age-graded, heterosexual, marriage-making,
hierarchical, ethnocentric, even xenophobic, and religious-making,
among other conservative things, with group-selection as the primary
unit of selection, followed by individual selection. That is almost
the opposite of cultural Marxism and modern
liberalism.
Humans and cultures can operate for a time with behavior
that goes against real human nature with such experiments as Marxism
and modern liberalism, but cultures are eventually pulled back by the
biological and genetic leash of real human nature to cultures that
better reflect real human nature, and humans then work within and
adapt to the environments they find themselves living in.
And what political cultures better reflect real human
nature? Cultures that affirm ethnostates and an ethnopluralism of
ethnostates, which takes us even deeper into the natural order and real
human nature than traditional conservatism. So that strongly suggests
the future direction of political cultures.

The conservatives, the natural preservers, are not yet addressing this real problem, or this solution (from 2015)
Individual, kin and group (or ethnic)
selection could be called the primary-selection-trio. Libertarian
conservatives are willing to make sacred the individual, and
paleoconservatives or traditional conservatives are willing to make
the kin sacred, but both say little or nothing about group or ethnic
selection, and this is a serious omission directly relating to the
future of America and the West.
According to the more courageous
sociobiological and anthropological scientists and thinkers,
group-selection
is the central unit of selection. Only group or ethnic selection can
be socially strong enough over the long term to actually protect and
advance the individual and the kin.
The natural problems of competing
groups within a multi-ethnic nation can be managed by affirming
ethnopluralism, with regions and states primarily understood as
ethnostates, which can then be protected internally and externally by
a lighter version of federalism.
Establishing ethnopluralism
within the United States is of course a daunting mission---charges of
racism by the powers that be will destroy reputations---but the
separation of powers and states in the U. S. Constitution could
accommodate the natural political configuration of ethnostates, so
even the conservatives could affirm it, if it was done gradually, and
legally.
Ethnopluralism working in harmony with
the primary-selection-trio works in harmony with real human nature,
which remains very much individual, kin and ethnic-centered. Empires
always fall back into ethnostates, so natural human history and
evolution are on the side of ethnopluralism.
Otherwise America (and the West) seems
headed for civil disturbances and even civil war between un-meltable
ethnic cultures, which will weaken the nation internationally.
The conservatives, the natural preservers, are not yet addressing
this real problem, or this solution, and the modern liberals remain
unrealistic about human nature and politics.
Politically incorrect ways of realistically solving the primary problems we face today and in the future
E.O. Wilson points out
that perhaps of the three primary problems we are facing now, climate
change, population growth, and species extinction, population growth
is the biggest of them, and Wilson advocates, among other things,
that women of the world have no more than 2.1 children per
woman---any more than that dooms the planet. But progressive leaders never speak of the quality of the people being born:
we know that when intelligence declines then civilization as we have
known it declines. IQ correlates with many sociobiological factors,
and these things have been determined objectively by science.
A
few professors, such as Richard
Lynn and Tatu Vanhanen, have shown that global inequality can be
explained by national IQ's, that is, differences in intelligence are
based on small genetic differences between populations, which relates
to global inequality. Lynn and Vanhanen propose such things as
improving the quality of nutrition for pregnant women and infants,
because IQ is also related to early nutrition. And then we have one or
two people, like the late psychologist Raymond
Cattell, who would initiate voluntary eugenic programs for improving the genetic
qualities of people, poor and rich.
It takes courage to
suggest these things because the political correctness of cultural
Marxism which now rules the academic world and the big media virtually
crucifies or ruins the career any person who mentions the diversity
of intelligence or improving intelligence.
I would affirm the full
development of genetic technologies, even selecting traits at the
level of embryos, gene sequencing, etc, which could give a wider
amount of selection power to couples. I believe we also need to
continue the cultural and political affirmation of evolution toward
higher intelligence, health, personalty,
beauty and athleticism. This biological path toward higher
intelligence, health, personalty, beauty, and athleticism, which we all want for our children, is much slower to evolve
than machine intelligence but more conservative and much safer than
machine intelligence. Machine intelligence can be an aid in
human biological evolution but should never be the sole area of
advancing evolution. Machine intelligence could
one day dominate human life with amoral nonhuman values, if we don't
carefully see that it does not.
And finally, human
civilizations evolved mainly by way of the bonding ethics of
group-selection or ethnic-selection and this remains deeply within
human nature. Any future evolution will need to work with human
nature in developing political philosophy, that is, not against human nature,
such as developing, legally, an ethnopluralism of ethnostates. That is, a world of thousands
of small states, or ethnostates, protected by a light federalism, and
guided in material evolution toward Godhood by religion (theological
materialism) and science. Then we may realistically have a better way, and more incentive, to solve the primary problems of climate
change, population growth, and species extinction.

What's missing in conservatism and needs to be included
Conservatism rightly
speaks of human scale culture, nurturing roots, centering on the
common good more than commercial gain, and maintaining long
established customs and habits, that is, not globalism, or universal
cultural formats (see Russell Kirk). But conservative's rarely mention
nurturing the roots of ethnic groups at the foundation of culture.
Why not?
I think in our time it is
lack of courage from fear of being called a “racist” for
affirming ethnicity and all the social problems that can come from
confronting the prevailing politically correctness of cultural
Marxism.
Conservative's affirm
natural law and human nature but overlook or downplay the basic parts
of human nature that conflict with the politically correctness of
cultural Marxism, such as, human nature being
ethnocentric, even xenophobic, with group-selection---which usually
means ethnic selection---as the primary unit of successful selection---although conservative's readily include human nature as being
kin-centered, gender defined, age-graded, heterosexual
marriage-making and religious-making.
Since
group-selection---which usually means ethnic selection---is the
primary unit of successful selection, that is a serious
omission within conservatism which has driven too many energetic
natural conservatives away from conservatism and down radical paths
that feature ethnicity and race but overlook or downplay other basic
parts of conservative human nature, like maintaining long established
customs and habits, and not radical formats.
My
kind of conservatism sees that an
ethnopluralism of ethnostates is the best political configuration for ethnic groups to live within, and needs to be
included in conservatism. An ethnopluralism of ethnostates or
regions could be established legally in the United States with
our constitutional separation of powers and states, protected from
marauding imperialists and supremacists by federalism.
It may require a few
constitutional amendments to give more power to states and regions to move
toward an ethnopluralism of ethnostates, and it will not be easy at
all, but it is far preferable to radical Marxism or Fascism, or the
political dissimulations we now have based on flawed definitions of
human nature, which have brought us radically destructive civil
disruptions, or even civil war, and which are now increasing across
the world within unworkable multicultural (multi-ethnic) societies
demanding that we all get along...We will all live more naturally, homogeneously, and as harmoniously as is possible in our own ethnostates.

Dominance not talent usually rules
Watching
a series of bad commercials on television I wondered why they increasingly seem to be so untalented---while posing as being
talented and clever which makes them worse. Books, films, politicians, and
celebrities in general are increasingly showing the same lack of talent and cleverness and the same
pose of being clever and talented.
Ads,
films, etc. are of course mainly about making money for the products
advertised, so they are dumbed down to appeal to the largest number of
people---ingenuity or imagination is not their main
concern. Greed has much to do with the lowering of quality and can come with some deeper baggage, like nepotism and bias.
But
this lack of talent and cleverness also has much to do with the fact
that dominance not talent usually rules in business, politics,
and culture. If an organization is dedicated to real talent and merit
and is also dominant then we can see more ingenuity or imagination,
but that combination of dominance, ingenuity, and imagination is not
common.
It sounds too cynical but if you are a rising business person, politician, writer, etc. you should know that talent or merit alone won't bring you success in the world, talent needs to be attached to dominance to be heard.

The sacralization of evolution, not wealth, may come in the future
I have no doubt that the profit motive and free enterprise have led to many great things in the
world, but I also have no doubt that the profit motive, or the
intense and selfish desire to create wealth, as affirmed by
libertarian economists like Milton Friedman, should not be the
highest or only value of free enterprise and business.
The material evolution to
ascending levels of supermaterial Godhood should be the highest value
of our culture and civilization. This doesn't necessarily suggest
theocracy, but the profit motive and the free enterprise system
should be grounded in the highest value of the material evolution of
life.
We are obviously a long
way from this value system, but populism and economic nationalism are at least reluctantly
beginning to wake business people up to the idea that the profit
motive is not the highest value to live by. Globalism has done more damage than good in the world. The sacralization of evolution, not wealth, may come in the future.

Why aristocracies and meritocracies tend to fall
Russell Kirk said that
“without aristocracies of some sort, a country is in danger of
intellectual sterility.” Not said is that meritocracies tend to
lead to aristocracies. Also not said is that the will to power of the
biological origin of our social behavior is a stronger force than
either aristocracies or meritocracies, which is why aristocracies and
meritocracies are always threatened.
People
and ethnic groups evolved in widely different environments and
developed different traits and talents which are obvious, even though
it has become politically incorrect to say it. So the aristocracies
or meritocracies that ethnic groups develop are different from the
aristocracies or meritocracies that other ethnic groups develop
because different groups have different traits and talents.
People
tend to not much care if aristocracies or meritocracies become
sterile or not because every cell in their body seeks survival and
reproductive success first, even if people are unconscious of this
primary motivation.
This
becomes a problem in multicultural multi-ethnic societies where the
will to power of the biological origin of our social behavior is a
stronger force than either aristocracies or meritocracies, with
group-selection or ethnic-selection as the primary unit of successful
selection, followed by individual selection. So
aristocracies and meritocracies in multicultural multi-ethnic
societies tend to become sterile, or at least change, or even fall,
do to various ethnic groups constantly competing for power.
If
we want our countries and our people not to be in danger of
sterility, intellectually or any other way, with power vested in
people believed to be the best qualified, even in democracies, we will see the value in
the natural political structure of ethnostates and an ethnopluralism
of ethnostates, which relate directly to kin and ethnic-centered
human nature and the always
prevailing biological origin of our social behavior. Multicultural
multi-ethnic societies eventually lead to civic disruptions and even
civil war, where aristocracies or meritocracies are suspended.

Attaining real Godhood requires the affirmation of material life and evolution not the rejection of material life and evolution
Josef Pieper defined true
“leisure” as orientating ourselves to the whole of existence, and
to be orientated not in material things but from
material things, and that is the general position of all serious
asceticism, but it is gravely mistaken.
Ascetics all agree that
being “truly human” means being free from the material world,
which is like saying being truly human is not being human or being
dead. Why this loathing of the material and the human? Asceticism is directed
toward blocking all material desires to experience the exclusive bliss that
comes from this very difficult and sacrificial experience, which is
interpreted as experiencing God or the Father.
We cannot be free from
material things unless we are virtually dead, which is indeed what
all serious ascetics advocate. For example, “...whoever would save
his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will
save it.” Luke 9:23-24. The Vedas, the Bible,
the Tripitaka, all declare this goal of asceticism.
the Tripitaka, all declare this goal of asceticism.
But Nietzsche was wrong to
say that therefore God is dead---although he meant that religions
which advocate blocking all material desires are dead. Real
Godhood cannot be reached by blocking all material desires
because real ascending levels of Godhood are reached only by way of
positive material evolution.
So
religion need not die from science, science need not die from
religion, and humans need not die to the material world to experience
Godhood. Theological materialism not theological spiritualism is called for. Attaining real Godhood requires the affirmation
of material life and evolution.

The Democratic 800-pound gorilla in the Republican living room
The obvious problem no one wants to discuss, the Democratic 800-pound gorilla in the Republican living room, is the will to power of ethnic groups and races, which is being demagogically exploited by the democrats who promote only nonwhites. And wide open borders and offering free everything to everyone brings more nonwhite votes for democrats, no-matter what damage it causes to the citizens of the nation. The 800-pound gorilla is at bottom the denial---by both Democrats and Republicans for different confused reasons---of the biological origin of social behavior, which includes political behavior.
Republicans and conservative's don't want to face the reality of there being a real will to power of ethnic groups or races, since they insist that we are all the same under God, so they condemn the democratic party for promoting racism. And to make things even more convoluted the democratic party claims to be fighting evil racism while using racism to fight racism.
The way out of this confused and dangerous mess will inevitably be brought about by real human nature, which remains as it has always been: genetically kin-centered, gender defined, age-graded, heterosexual marriage-making, hierarchical, ethnocentric, even xenophobic, with group-selection as the primary unit of selection. Rational and instinctive channeling of human nature and human drives, and education in general, needs to move in this direction.
A growing number of people believe that real human nature will lead to ethnostates and an ethnopluralism of ethnostates as the best political configuration for human beings to live within. An ethnopluralism of ethnostates or regions could be established legally in the United States with our constitutional separation of powers and states. Whatever peace and harmony possible between distinctly different people will come from these natural separations, protected from marauding imperialists and supremacists by some sort of federalism.

Why there can be hope that the virus of globalism will not kill us all in the end
In the West big government
and big business (often the same thing) make people and ethnic groups
conform to them rather than people and ethnic groups making big
government and big business conform to them. And so globalism has been increasingly
establishing the sameness of globalism and in the process have been destroying the particular traits of
people, ethnic groups, and nations. Few benefit from this destruction
other than the few promoters and controllers of globalism.
The only thing that has a
chance of saving us from this conformity, this sameness, this living
death of who and what we are, is the biological origin of our social
behavior. As someone said, “Biology is the hardware, culture is
the software.” We are governed and activated from within to live
and successfully survive and reproduce in every cell of the body,
reacting and adapting to the various environments we live in. This
natural activation can be blocked, subverted, or it can be unknown to
us, but it can't legitimately be intellectually or instinctively
denied by big government, big business, or by anyone or anything
else. In the end existing cultural values come from consciously or
unconsciously trying to biologically and genetically advance
ourselves and our kin, our related ethnic group, our locality, and
our nation.
So during this time of the
dying of particular people, ethnic groups, and nations at the hands
of globalism---which is actually evil---there can be real hope that
the virus of globalism will not kill us all in the end. Reality suggests that the biological origin of our social behavior
and real human nature will once again naturally lead to the cultural
expression of localism, regionalism, ethnostates, and an
ethnopluralism of ethnostates, protected from marauding imperialists
and supremacists by some sort of federalism---that is hope based on real human nature, which can't be blocked forever.

An outsider-even-to-outsiders position on methods of thinking, and a Mass of Celebration
German Catholic
philosopher Josef Pieper's book on leisure and its religious
connections examines in a very accessible way both epistemology, the
theory of knowledge, and the connections between leisure and
religious insight. Or we might say he examines the way we find truth
through the empirical methods of science verifiable by observation,
experience and reason, compared to leisurely free thinking or
intuition, which Pieper seems to prefer.
I think leisurely free
thinking or intuition is like a very rapid way of summing up whatever
empirical methods of observation, experience, and reason we have
absorbed (or not absorbed ) in our life, so rapidly that we don't see
the mind or method involved----they are sort of the same thing.
Artists and ascetics tend
to lead with leisurely free thinking or intuition and scientists tend
to lead with observation, experience and reasoning, but the best
artists and scientists probably use both methods.
Being a religious
philosopher Pieper compares leisurely free thinking or intuition to
religious celebration and festival. I see this as the tone of the
projected Mass of Celebration in the Outward Path of the projected
Theoevolutionary Church; not in contrast to the Sacrificial Mass of
the Inward Path of traditional religion, but rather as transforming
the symbolic inward
experience of God (thought of as spiritual but really a peak material
experience) to the Outward
Path of material evolution to supermaterial Godhood.
The sacred, or Godhood, is
seen as supermaterial and reached through material evolution. The
hero is featured in the material Outward Path to ascending levels of
supermaterial Godhood rather than the early sacrificial martyr saint
of the Inward Path, which is still valid but transformed. Science can
join religion without the standard antagonism. It is an
outsider-even-to-outsiders religious view, but in any case a
religious celebration and festival of life,
not death, is called for in the projected Theoevolutionary Church: a
Mass of Celebration.

The best way we can recover from our demographic disaster
As William Lind pointed
out, in 1933 the Nazis came to power and shut down the Marxist
Institute for Social Research and its members fled to New York City
where they reestablished the Frankfurt School at Columbia University.
Later, Herbert Marcuse saw the 60s student rebellion as the great
opportunity to take the work of the Frankfurt School and make it the
theory of the New Left in the United States.
So the biological
origin of human social behavior led to the will to power of the
members of the Frankfurt School, who developed the cultural Marxism
of political correctness and the lethal socialist neoliberal
philosophy, which led to the moronic and degenerate Kennedy's, the
smug and suicidal Clinton's, and the 1965 Immigration Act,
which led to the destruction of the Northern European
demographics of traditional America and allowed the rise to power of
blacks, Hispanics, homosexuals,
feminist women, the global elite, the media, and the
academics, who in turn call for the subordination of all nations and ethnic
groups to globalism, which really means subordination to the leaders of
globalism.
Real
human nature remains kin-centered, gender defined, age-graded,
heterosexual, marriage-making, hierarchical, ethnocentric, even
xenophobic, and religious-making, among other things, with
group-selection as the primary unit of selection, and this leads
naturally to the cultural expression of regionalism, localism, and an
ethnopluralism of ethnostates. Given who we are this appears to be
the best way we can recover from our demographic disaster. Otherwise we may fade away.

The ineptness of the revenge of the nerds of the big tech companies
Peter Thiel suggested that
the reason big tech companies like Google are now working with China
in artificial intelligence, which China promptly applies toward their
dream of military dominance of the world, may be because big tech
companies like Google, Facebook and Apple are full of people with the
Asperger syndrome developmental disorder, which Wikipedia describes
as “a spectrum of psychological conditions that are characterized
by abnormalities of social interaction and communication that pervade
the individual's functioning, and by restricted and repetitive
interests and behavior,” which lend themselves well to computer
engineering etc. but not so well to political diplomacy.
In some cases the nerds
did manage to grab on to anarchic
libertarianism and even cultural Marxism in our corrupted colleges
and universities which they use to justify their obsessions, and
which is about as political as they can manage to be. And
no doubt there is some revenge of the nerds going on here as pay back for
being dweebs and freaks in high school---becoming billionaires does
bring a few of the cheerleader types around, at last, as well as big
smiles from greedy businessmen who were probably once captains of the high school football team.
These
big tech nerds aren't benign dweebs, as we see from their China
alliances, they need attending and oversight and not free reign,
no-matter how much they object to restricting their politically inept
repetitive interests and behavioral obsessions.

Human nature, cultures, being what we are, and theological materialism
Not being what we are, not
being one with oneself, not being in accord with ones being, is
mainly caused from being taught what we are not, usually in three
ways.
We are taught that
financial success in the world is all, or we are taught that survival
and reproductive success is all, or we are taught that the spiritual
is superior to the material and we should therefore most importantly
look to the non-material spiritual, with the advocates of those
positions claiming that those positions are in the best accord with
what we are. Various cultures have developed around those versions of
not being what we are, of not being one with oneself, or not being in
accord with ones being.
Success in the world
financially is driven by the desire for survival and reproductive
success, but the desire for survival and reproductive success is
driven by the sacred activation to evolve in the material world to
supermaterial Godhood. The non-material spiritual was only the first rudimentary glimpse of the ascending levels of Godhood evolved to in the material world.
Being what we are means
being in accord with nature and with real human nature, which is
basically
kin-centered, gender defined, age-graded, heterosexual,
marriage-making, hierarchical, ethnocentric, even xenophobic, and
religious-making, among other things, with group-selection as the
primary unit of successful selection, followed by individual
selection. Cultures are eventually pulled back by that biological and
genetic leash of real human nature to cultures that better reflect
real human nature, and humans then work within and adapt to the
environments they find themselves living.
But in the deepest sense of being what we are and being
in accord with ones being is the activation to evolve in the material
world to ascending levels of supermaterial Godhood. Cultures can then
work within and adapt to the environments they find themselves living
in and consciously develop from that definition of theological
materialism.

The Precedence of the Founders and Ethnopluralism (from 2015)
Clyde Wilson writes about the war of
independence and the establishment of 13 free and independent
colonies in North America (Chronicles, April 2015). Wilson reminds us
that each colony developed its own society. The debates over
the ratification of the U.S. Constitution were often against the
centralizing of power and keeping the independence of the states. The
best men feared "consolidation." The United States was a
plural---the United States are, not the United States
is, was the universal usage, as in the Constitution.
Thomas Jefferson was not an advocate of "one nation indivisible," he would not be called a nationalist, it was the principle of self-government that was important to Jefferson. The union could be changed, it was not eternal. Toward the end of his life Jefferson wrote that it would be better for Virginia to secede than to succumb to the centralization pushed by Northern interests.
The states united together did not forfeit their sovereignty, they were not reduced to one and the same people. The union was "a compact between separate communities." An alliance was created in 1776, not really a "nation." When Jefferson looked westward he saw American's creating a new self-governing commonwealth joined in such a way as they wished.
This precedence, this character, this tone and guiding belief in affirming non-centralized states (but with a lightly protective federalism, and in today's world with a protecting economic nationalism) could be applied to ethnopluralism, and could be done with conservative reform, not radical revolution. We have gradually learned more about real human nature over the years and we see that human nature remains biologically and often culturally kin-centered, ethnocentric, group-selecting, even xenophobic, which means that in our crowded multi-ethnic world we will need to find a way to accommodate ethnopluralism, to keep whatever peace and harmony is possible between humans.
Establishing, or reestablishing, virtual ethnostates in the United States, where distinct ethnic cultures can thrive and evolve as they wish will probably happen anyway as multicultural empires always break back down into ethnostates. It would be better to do this consciously, rationally, rather than by way of civil war, given human nature---and our Constitution, with its separation of powers and states, could accommodate a natural and moral ethnopluralism if we would choose to do so.
There is no real religious alchemy
It is
said that alchemy was and is a double-goal system: it connects the
physical world with the spiritual one so that the two can evolve
together simultaneously, but the problem is, there is no spiritual
world, there is only the material and supermaterial world: we evolve
to ascending levels of supermaterial Godhood in the material world.
Alchemy
influenced religion and the growth of science, but there is no real
alchemy, at least not a legitimate
one.
But for solid
conservative reasons we can in the Twofold Path retain the
traditional Inward Path as the first human ascetic glimpse of Godhood, mistakenly thought to be non-material or spiritual,
which is now transformed in the Outward Path of material evolution to
ascending levels of supermaterial Godhood.
A Mass needs
to be created celebrating the material evolution of life to
supermaterial Godhood in the Outward Path which can be added to the
sacred Mass of ascetic sacrifice of the traditional Inward Path. The hero can supersede the saint.
A big
reconstruction, I know, but humans can eventually handle it,
especially since it adheres to reality and can save dying religion.

Professors and priests will one day be teachers and conveyors of the biological origin of social behavior
I
think professors and priests in humanities departments should be, are
meant to be, and one day will be, teachers and conveyors of the
biological origin of social behavior, along with their academic
discipline of studying human
culture
in general. This means that the evolutionary science of sociobiology
needs to be part of the curriculum of the humanities as well as part
of the training of future professors and priests. The deepest
understanding of our ideas and the moral sanctions of history and
civilizations come from this foundation. Without the evolutionary
sciences the humanities are inadequate and incomplete.
That
being said we can see how the postmodernism, cultural Marxism, and
political correctness of present academia are fraudulent. They have
illegitimately joined Nietzsche's will to power to Marxism and the
underclass will to power of feminist women, blacks, Hispanics,
homosexuals, etc., which is contrary not only to Nietzsche but to
real human nature and the biological origin of social behavior, which
remains genetically kin-centered,
gender defined, age-graded, heterosexual, marriage-making,
hierarchical, ethnocentric, even xenophobic, and religious-making,
among other things, with group-selection as the primary unit of
successful selection, followed by individual selection.
I believe that the
truth really does always rise, even if it can be stalled for
centuries. When and how professors and priests will one day be
teachers and conveyors of the biological origin of social behavior I
cannot say, but I know as long as we have the rising of the sun and
the moon it is inevitable and inescapable. Cultures can operate for a
time with behavior that goes against human nature with such
experiments as cultural Marxism but cultures are eventually pulled back by
the biological and genetic leash of real human nature to cultures
that better reflect real human nature, and humans then work within
and adapt to the environments they find themselves living in.

High religious experiences are peak material, not spiritual, experiences
Can free inquiry into
intellectual things be free of all working purpose or is even
philosophy a function of the material biological origin of social
behavior?
Religious philosophy first
took the leap of thinking in terms of a non-material spiritual world,
which then supposedly allowed philosophers to think and feel free of the bonds of the material world. But that was not what they
were doing. High religious experiences are peak material,
not spiritual, experiences.
For example, by ridding
the body of material desires, as Christ, Buddha, and other ascetics
advocated they experienced the feeling of bliss which they described
as non-material and spiritual---they even called it “God”
which in reality was a peak material experience.
I believe that the deepest
religious experience is feeling, knowing, or experiencing the high
activation (Tirips) within material life to live, survive, reproduce,
and evolve in the material world to supermaterial Godhood. We cannot
function beyond or without this sacred material activation, why would
we want to? Does the false duality of the desire to transcend the
living object stem from the desire to transcend death?
It's interesting that
blocking or unattaching oneself from all material desires is a form
of death, the body shuts down the senses until “active death" is
attained, which is blissful---the state of sushumna “lights the
fires of death.” We seek freedom from life when we seek freedom
from the material world, and that is death.
We evolve in the material
world to supermaterial Godhood and we have free will to do so but
within determined paths, like a boulder rolling down a mountainside.
Why has that been so hard to accept? Evolution moves inevitably in a
pattern, even though it has its random elements, and the pattern has
a discernible direction, in spite of instances of stagnation and
retreat, toward higher and higher more effective living forms, all
the way to ascending levels of real Godhood.

How and why political correctness and cultural Marxism are not only bogus but are destroying Western people and Western civilization
If
political correctness or cultural Marxism said only that history
is determined by power, by which groups defined in terms of race,
sex, etc. have power over other groups, they would be about right
according to the science of sociobiology, and I might agree with
them. But the cultural
Marxists then go on to include the Marxist idea that only the
underclasses without power should be supported because their bid for
power fuels the will to power of history—which now means they
support only feminist women, blacks, Hispanics, homosexuals. etc. The
big problem with their political correctness/cultural Marxism is that
it leaves biology and the biological origin of social behavior
completely out of their worldview.
The
biological origin of social behavior according to the evolutionary
sciences, which includes human nature, shows that human nature is
biologically and genetically
kin-centered, gender defined, age-graded, heterosexual,
marriage-making, hierarchical, ethnocentric, even xenophobic, and
religious-making, among other things, with group-selection as the
primary unit of successful selection, followed by individual
selection. That basic human nature means that we naturally support
people, create cultures, and first seek power for kin, ethnic group
etc. because we seek survival and reproductive success for our own
and related gene pools, and therefore we do not naturally seek power for
only feminist women, blacks, Hispanics, homosexuals. etc. which would
end up being suicidal for the genetic survival of our own groups.
So
the politics that comes from political correctness and cultural
Marxism is not only bogus but is now destroying Western people and
Western civilization and seeking to replace them with feminist women,
blacks, Hispanics, homosexuals. etc, or at least the Stalinist type leaders of those groups.

Seeking the origin of sacredness and the origin of deep religion in the activation of material evolution
I
see the universe as having an endless number of worlds moving and
always evolving, with “life” evolving in some worlds, and perhaps
with a few worlds
evolving material life to the highest supermaterial levels of life,
called Godhood. And this evolution never ends, it moves inevitably
in a pattern---even though as many have said it has its random
elements---and the pattern has a discernible direction, in spite of
instances of stagnation and retreat, toward higher and higher more
effective living forms, always evolving toward Godhood.
I
see this great process of evolution as activated from within every
atom and within every cell of living bodies, which then react and
adapt to the various outside environments that life lives in. This
activation is the same activation that leads to the desire to
successfully survive and reproduce. And this
activation is a material/supermaterial activation, not spiritual: I
call this sacred activation Tirips.
The
origin of sacredness and the origin of deep religion come from trying
to understand this process of numberless
material worlds always evolving toward supermaterial Godhood, and
from seeking to understand how life can become best synchronized with
this sacred process of evolution, and help it along.

Who benefits from trying to rid the world of stereotypes?
Who
has a problem with stereotypes? Perhaps we should look to who
benefits from trying to rid the world of stereotypes? Variety is
good, evolution counts on variety, and stereotypes are often
generally accurate based on indwelling bio-social traits useful in
making quick decisions, which Burke called “prejudice----as long as
we know that people and things can fall through the cracks; for
example, genius can turn up literally anywhere in any stereotypical
ethnic group.
Stereotyping says such
things as: the Irish like both fun and sadness, the Scandinavians
like stoicism, neither fun nor sadness, Germans are straight
forward---in warrior societies little lies can get the whole group
killed which probably relates to the old truth-talking warrior
mentality, Southern Europeans prefer more indirect communication, Jews are stereotypically thought of as sharp money-grubbers, and East Asians are seen as even more stoic (inscrutable) than Scandinavians.
“Let's party!”
contrasted with the Protestant work ethic are basically ethnic
dispositions and not merely media propaganda. One of these
stereotypical dispositions isn't “better” than the other, they
are just different traits which developed and evolved in different
places, eg. hot or cold environments.
But problems come when the
“Don't worry be happy” social philosophy of pop culture tries to
dominate in multicultural societies. For example, now every one from
baby to grandma are unrestrainedly dancing in television commercials,
which usually adds the little ideological bonus of making whites look
ridiculous. Even country music now has its twangy version of rap. And
Taylor Swift parties like Beyonce.
Northern Europeans tend to
be more introverted than southern Europeans and Africans who are
more extroverted, and both naturally feel uncomfortable with each
others disposition. Most of the social, cultural and political
problems we have---which are now causing increasing violence in our
streets---come from the different dispositions and traits of
different ethnic groups trying to live multiculturally within the
same space, usually with barbarian music playing above it all.
This leads to one of the
main themes of this blog: Cultures work most harmoniously when they
reflect the people who create the culture. Ethnic characteristics
help make cultures and ideologies, which is why I advocate ethnopluralism,
even within the United States, with the constitutional separation
powers and states designed for ethnic cultures.
Then we can work, or
party, which ever turns us on, in our own space, protected from
marauding imperialists and supremacists by federalism.

Not merely the age or income of people but their ethnicity or race will determine the direction of future politics
Demographics,
the statistical characteristics of human
populations, will determine the direction of future politics, but it
is of course not politically correct to say that not merely the age
or income of people but their ethnicity or race will determine the
direction of future politics. As the ethnicity or race changes the culture and
civilization changes.
It was mainly whites who
barely elected Donald Trump, in spite of the overwhelming anti-Trump
power of billionaires like George Soros, Pierre Omidyer, the Media,
the schools, and all the anti-Trump groups and alliances strongly
against Trump---even our intelligence services tried to destroy
Trump.
These anti-Western culture
alliances have for some time been destroying all the traditional
elements of white Western order, including the ethics and morals of
religion, art and education. Demographically they have been
successful, whites are now dying faster than being born---in tearing
down traditional religion, art, and education they took away the cultural
reasons and incentives for having children and a normal
natural life.
But even the conservatives
will not say that ethnicity or race will determine the direction of
future politics, mainly due to fear of the overwhelming anti-Trump
powers, although much of this tragedy also has to do with ignorance
of the fact that real human nature is primarily and genetically kin
and ethnic centered, which had been blocked or distorted by these
billionaires, the Media, and the schools.
The thing to do now is to
teach the real truth that as the ethnicity or race changes the
culture and civilization changes, and that destroying ethnicity or
race is not good. We will need new billionaires, the
Media, and the schools on our side. Then healthy cultures (like
ethnostates) may follow.

My evolutionary conservatism
I would say I am an
evolutionary realist in art and literature, an ethnostatist in
politics, and a theological materialist in religion. I would place
these under the term evolutionary conservatism. That is what my
writing tries to synthesize every day.
I see evolution as
explained by sociobiologist E. O. Wilson and social psychologist
Raymond Cattell as the main path of progress. I see future politics
leading to the ethnostatism as first examined by maverick historian
Wilmot Robertson. I affirm conservatism as explained by Russell Kirk
and Pat Buchanan. I see art as examined by the writer Tom Wolfe, and
literature as examined by T. S. Eliot. And I affirm my own religious
philosophy of theological materialism.
But of course I don't
agree with everything these writers said. Wilson couldn't emphasize
clearly that the base of group selection and altruism is ethnic
selection. Cattell didn't try to conserve traditional religion
within his courageous new religion from science. Robertson was
brilliant and historically wise but spent too much time
fulminating against the Jews. Russell Kirk's writings were straight
talking but also oddly pretentious, and both he and Pat Buchanan
ultimately affirmed the non-materialism and asceticism of traditional
religion which blocks the material evolution to real Godhood.
So for now at least my
evolutionary conservatism has placed me in no man's land, beyond
these different regimes of thought and action, just outside the city
walls, where I try to accept my fate.

The great spiritual blockade of human beings and material evolution
A deep devaluation of
human beings and human nature exists in the way traditional
religion's tell us that the higher we go the more we become like the
angels who are said to be non-material, spiritual, purely
intellectual beings, without the gross material human nature.
Why does traditional
religion think that higher beings must be non-material, spiritual,
purely intellectual beings? Nietzsche probably came the closest to
answering this question in saying that the priests and ascetics of
traditional religion gained power and control by disparaging materialism and
blocking the will to power of their followers, even if some of them
were unaware that they were doing it.
This degrading of human
beings and human nature was especially misleading and damaging
because it set up a great spiritual blockade against the real path of
material evolution to real supermaterial Godhood.
While the ethical bonding
and social order of traditional religion are important, the control
method they use of degrading human beings and human nature, and even
making it sacred to block the real path of material evolution to real
supermaterial Godhood, was and is fatally and metaphysically wrong.
Theological materialism
seeks to set this right so we can get on the sacred religious path of
material evolution to real Godhood.

Transforming the ascetic inward experience of God in the Outward Path of material evolution to real Godhood
Conservatives and
traditionalists rightly believe that religion should create the
foundation of long-term culture, but which religion? A religion that
does not ignore the biological origin of social behavior and the biological origin of religion and culture.
Traditional religions
declare that a non-material non-biological spiritual God is at the origin of
religion and culture. But the material activation of life in
every cell of the material body (here called Tirips) activates
life leading to the origin and creation of religion and culture.
Ascending levels of
Godhood are reached through material evolution, not the other way around. Supermaterial
Godhood is the goal of evolving life, not the origin of life, unless
you want to call the material activation of
life God.
Being
aware of the importance of conservative order to life and culture and
to maintaining the best of the past, the Twofold Path of theological
materialism retains in the Inward Path that first traditional human
glimpse of God as the ascetic, material, symbolic, experience of bliss, which
ascetics called God, arrived at by ridding their bodies of
biological desires. That ascetic inward experience is then
transformed in the Outward Path of material evolution leading to
ascending levels of real material/supermaterial Godhood.
Not
even a leap of faith is necessary to believe in the Godhood reached
by way of material evolution, but a little faith may be needed---and much work---in
believing we can and will attain real Godhood. And fading religion itself needs transforming if we are to have religion in the future---religion and science can be merged.

The exploitation of the monstrous acts of mass shooters
These mass shootings are
doing so much damage to the causes espoused in the manifestos of
these psychotic murderous monsters that it almost
makes one think that these mass shooters are like Manchurian
candidates who have been brainwashed to take violent action after
receiving some phrase or code word from their handlers.
The leftist/globalist's who want to totally control the internet, confiscate all the guns,
and destroy fledgling populist nationalism---backed up by the entire
Media, the schools, and by globalists in
general---are exploiting these monstrous psychotic acts to gain big
ground in closing down the nationalist right, or making the right
illegal...They could succeed, at least in the short term.
Even in advanced modern societies where survival is
easier, the dangers of the things that these leftist/globalist's
promote, such as: cultural Marxism (demanding biologically equality for the naturally
unequal), radical feminism (demanding biologically unnatural roles
for women), homosexuality (demanding biologically unnatural sexual
life styles), postmodern relativism (demanding a biologically
unnatural relativity of values), and demanding biologically
unnatural open borders, eventually lead to biologically and
culturally diseased societies. It has happened time and again
throughout human history, decayed multicultural empires always fall,
and some form of ethnostates always rise again from the ashes.
Here is the problem we have: human
nature is
biologically and genetically ethnocentric and has been since humans
became humans: group-selection was the only way for individuals to
successfully survive, so altruism, or being for others, was naturally
and genetically limited or designed mainly for kin and ethnic group
because they shared the same genes and that allowed for homogeneous
cultures to strive for survival success. Trying to rid human nature
and human culture of these deep-seated biological preferences is
like trying to rid human beings of being human. That is cruel. Is
it not time for humanity to understand and become what we really
are?
Cultures
can operate for a time with behavior that goes directly against
biological human nature, such as the depraved cultures mentioned above, but
cultures are eventually pulled back, and not always peacefully, by
the biological and genetic leash of real human nature to cultures
that better reflect real human nature.

The best way to deal with a philosophical problem is not, at first, to even think of philosophy
Rational, educated,
thinking is vitally important but in dealing with a philosophical
problem, first simply looking in yourself, to the oracle within
oneself as Josef Pieper called it, is more important, we can then
follow up with using the analytical brain to evaluate what we have
simply seen.
I think the best way to
deal with a philosophical problem is not, at first, to even think of
philosophy or of the history of philosophy, but to simply look in
yourself, to that oracle within oneself, and let the problem flow
where it wants to go. It will soon enough go to the reasoning part of
the brain.
I think what we want is
more of a balance between what the old philosopher's called ratio and
intellectus, that is, a balance between abstracting and simply
looking, or as moderns have called it, using both the left and right
brain, which seems like a a duality of the mind but really isn't.
To first simply look in
yourself, to the oracle within oneself, is not as easy as it sounds
to educated moderns, we have all kinds of things we have learned in
our cultures and in our schools where many of us, sadly, become
intimated against thinking for ourselves by expert thinkers loaded
with the history of rational thought.
The right and left brain
brain don’t work independently of each other, but one side appears
to be dominate in different people, and that's the way to think of
the difference between abstracting and simply looking. I think simply
looking at the philosophical problem creatively should be dominate over being
analytical, even though they don’t work independently of each
other.
But there is another thing
that is just as important, or perhaps more important, in dealing with
a philosophical problem which involves the courage of the thinker,
which seems to involve the character of the thinker more than whether
one is analytical or creative. Where does courage come from? First
ask the oracle within oneself, then follow up by
analytically evaluating the history of thinking regarding courage.

Identifying the primary and secondary future intent and pattern of ethics
"Dare to ask terrifying questions, and you may be answered." Russell Kirk
Some
truths are constant and fundamental, or primary, and some truths are
secondary usually as a result of new and better knowledge coming in
from all fields. But without
the
Twofold Path of theological materialism and without
the evolution to supermaterial Godhood we have an
incomplete connection to reality.
The
primary goal of religion can be attained only through the
Evolutionary Outward Path of material evolution to Godhood. The
secondary goal of religion is experiencing the traditional symbolic
Spirit Within (which is really the material
activation of Tirips) obtained through the Involutionary Inward Path
of ascetics.
The
Twofold Path in the theological materialism of the
projected Theoevolutionary Church conservatively retains the old
Inward Path of traditional religion as it is transformed in the
Outward Path of material
evolution to real Godhood.
Secondary
conservatism defends fundamental “universal” ethics such as those
which help all
groups
survive, as well as defending “personal” individual ethics which
help the individual survive. Primary conservatism affirms specific
group ethics, which can help specific groups and ethnic groups
survive and evolve. The group is and has been genetically the main
unit of evolutionary selection.
We
do not have to ignore variety while upholding universal ethics. The
principles of subsidiarity and federalism, and the political
configuration of an ethnopluralism of ethnostates follow this kind of
social philosophy, which unifies universal, specific and personal
ethics.
Evolution
to Godhood is the primary intent and pattern of ethics.
Survival
is the natural and secondary test of ethics.
We may not reach Godhood unless we learn how to evolve through a secure
scientific understanding of our genetic and cultural environments,
which is the
new scientific social wisdom.
Evolutionary
scientists like Raymond Cattell and E. O. Wilson, philosophers like
Nietzsche, and maverick historians like Wilmot Robertson mapped out
or at least pointed toward many of these insights, but without the
Twofold Path of theological materialism.

The price for retaining a vital religion and futuristic conservatism
Conservative's like Pat
Buchanan and the great Russell Kirk, followed the lead of the great
Edmund Burke and T.S Eliot in basing their conservatism in the dying
spiritualism of traditional religion, so they ended up being
Jeremiahs and predictors of doom.
They had it right in
believing that no civilization has risen or lasted long without being
grounded in religion, but the spiritualism of religion has been the
main reason religion has been gradually falling.
Progressives on the left
in politics have sensed the weakness of spiritualism and have
presented themselves as new, fresh, creative, and on the side of
science, although they overlook the science of sociobiology which
rejects the lie of their universalist, globalist,
we-are-all-the-same-and-equal view of human nature.
So the creative and modern
styling of the left and their rebellion against conservatism and
against the conservative Jeremiahs and predictors of doom has
appealed to the young---and dominating the Media and the schools
hasn't hurt them either.
The evolutionary
conservatism of the philosophy of theological materialism dances to a
different tune of conservatism, taking the future in hand, which
includes bringing the evolutionary sciences within religion and
within conservatism.
We evolve in the material
world to ever ascending levels of Godhood with the aid of the
futuristic sciences, genetics included, and we will need all the
elements of conservatism to retain the best of the past as we evolve
the new, by applying an ordered conservatism. Evolution moves inevitably
in a pattern, even though it has its random elements, in a
discernible direction, in spite of instances of stagnation and
retreat, toward higher and higher more effective living forms, on the
path toward Godhood.
So religion remains, but
an evolutionary religion: the price for retaining a vital religion
and futuristic conservatism is replacing
spiritualism with the material evolution of life to supermaterial
Godhood.

Theological materialism transforms the deepest ends of both religion and science
Two
great minds, German Catholic philosopher Josef Pieper (1904 –1997),
and living Sociobiologist E. O. Wilson were brilliant in elucidating
their deepest means but middling in perceiving their deepest ends.
Pieper's means of “be still and know” and Wilson's systematic
study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world, miss the deepest end of life as described by theological materialism.
The
end of the deepest means of traditional religion is to reach heaven, but it is a
so-called non-material heaven reached by ascetic's ridding the body
of all desires to experience the bliss of an inward Godhood. The end
of science is to reach the zenith of material knowledge of reality,
which is an abstraction in the mind perhaps not unlike the experience
of the bliss of an inward Godhood.
The
problem is, their is no non-materialism, there is only materialism
and super-materialism, and supermaterial Godhood is evolved to in the
material and supermaterial world. So the deepest ends of Pieper and
Wilson are misleading.
Both
the cultures of religion and science need as the end to
their means the ever ascending levels of supermaterial Godhood
evolved to in the material and supermaterial world.
