How traditional conservatism and human beings can be saved by evolutionary conservatism
The
political views of American conservatism that favor free enterprise,
private ownership, and socially traditional ideas are natural and
realistic for real human nature and for healthy survival and
reproduction. The American republic can retain the concepts of
ancient Greece and Rome and the ideas and mores from Britain that
founded America, with only a few changes, such as broadening the
constitutional separation of powers and states to include an
ethnopluralism of ethnostates. And the Biblical understanding of
religion and God on which most of the above ideas and mores were
grounded need to transform from spiritual theology to theological
materialism.
Traditional
conservatism has been pulled apart by multiculturalism, trying to jam
different ethnic groups together in the same living space, which then
fall apart because distinctly different ethnic groups do not or
cannot easily assimilate and therefore they compete against one
another and even become enemies. This is the reality of real human
nature, which remains kin-centered and ethnocentric. And to
complicate multiculturalism even further, it is usually promoted by
people who exploit the disorder and chaos of multiculturalism to
advance their own group.
Religious,
political, or ethnic totalitarianism, fascism, or empire-building
have often been the temptation to try to create order out of chaos,
but these always fall apart for many of the same reasons that
multiculturalism falls apart: distinctly different ethnic groups and
states do not or cannot easily assimilate, even with force, and so
the empires fall.
As
I say often in this blog, I think
social and political philosophy will gradually change as the
biological origin of social behavior, which includes human nature, is
more accurately understood as being universally 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.
If
real kin and ethnic-centered human nature is allowed to be what it
is, it naturally leads to regionalism, localism, ethnostates, and
finally an ethnopluralism of ethnostates. In the U. S. this could be
accomplished by adapting the U.S. constitutional separation of powers
and states to an ethnopluralism of ethnostates.
All
elements of the ethnic demographics in America could then be what
they naturally are, protected
from marauding imperialists, supremacists, and global money grubbers,
by a light federalism. The question is can this be done consciously
and rationally, or will we have to completely fall apart first?
We
don't need to lose religion, Godhood, or morality, the biological
origin of social behavior can be expanded to high culture, which can
create a natural world with the possibility of evolving all the way
to Godhood. Religious and
political universalism sits at the weakest end of the bonding
by altruism, or being-for-others, which is why world peace and
harmony are so difficult.
The spiritual Godhood exists not as a spiritual God but as
ascending levels of supermaterial Godhoods at the zenith of material
evolution, which religion and culture can affirm.
That
is how traditional conservatism and human beings can be saved by
evolutionary conservatism.
