The term “evolutionary conservatism” indicates the way change and conservatism are viewed

I prefer the term “evolutionary conservative” to “conservative revolutionary.” The term evolutionary conservatism indicates the way change and conservatism are viewed, and evolution tends to keep the best of the past even as it adapts changes, which the word revolutionary doesn't suggest. For example, the human body retained the reptilian and limbic brain as the new frontal neo-cortex was evolved.

Human nature evolved to be conservative, 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. These traits were genetically added and then retained or conserved over many millenniums because they were successful in survival and reproduction.

Evolutionary conservatism predicts that multicultural multi-ethnic states will eventually adapt to an ethnopluralism of ethnostates as the best political configuration to live within, given real human nature. In the U. S. this can best be accomplished not by way of radical revolution but through adapting---not overturning---the existing constitutional separation of powers and states, protected from marauding imperialists and supremacists by a light federalism.

Being is becoming, never static, never absolute, always materially evolving toward Godhood, while keeping the best of the past.
