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.
