Evolutionary conservatism says we require a proper balance between order and evolution
The
nature of man is flawed say Christian conservatives. Liberal's say
that man and the world are improvable. Conservative's say human
nature aspires to dominance and power and can only be countered by
countervailing balance of power. Liberal's believe we can all march
toward equality in all things. Conservative's see various hierarchies
as natural. Conservative's believe it is dangerous to disturb old
traditions and that we can only “prune and patch” what we have.
Evolutionary
conservatism says we require a proper balance between order and
evolution. If we are closed to evolution we can become stagnant, if
we are closed to order we can become chaotic. Steady
change, not revolution, is typical in biological evolution and is the
conservative way to evolve and change; we evolved three brains, one
evolved upon the other---the reptilian and the mammalian brains were
retained, not thrown away, even as we evolved the higher neocortex.
We
cannot legitimately be morally relative as long as we are alive. We
are alive with a human nature that affirms natural law derived from
our bio-social human nature, and from nature itself. In
politics trying to rid real human nature and culture of the
deep-seated preference for kin and ethnic group is attempted by many
ideologies, but the biological origin of social behavior and real
human nature lead naturally to regionalism, localism, and an
ethnopluralism of ethnostates. An
ethnopluralism of ethnostates or regions could be conservatively
established, legally, in the United States with our constitutional
separation of powers and states, protected from marauding
imperialists, supremacists, and global money grubbers by a defensive
federalism.
Natural
rights suggest that all men are born with the desire to survive and
reproduce successfully but natural rights do not guarantee results,
since evolution cannot always guarantee results. The
need for order is based most deeply on the needs of evolution, since
we have a very long way to materially evolve to ascending levels of Godhood.
We are “in-between” the beast and Godhood so we cannot yet claim
to be divine.
