The twenty first century will be the century of the rise of ethnostatism

The twenty first century will be the century of the rise of ethnostatism. People will gradually realize the reality that multicultural multi-ethnic societies are a zero sum game where the gain of one ethnic group is offset by the loss of another ethnic group, with much cruel social discord in the process. The kindness, mercy, compassion, or humaneness of ethnostates will be understood as being in harmony with the biological origin of social behavior and in accord with human nature which is biologically kin-centered and ethnic-centered, even xenophobic, as well as being genetically gender defined, age-graded, heterosexual, marriage-making, hierarchical, and religious-making, with group-selection and ethnic selection as the primary unit of successful selection, followed by individual selection.

Although now just rising, identity politics will continue to ascend, identifying with ethnicity, nationality, race, culture and faith is the world's future. People will see that diversity within the same state is not our greatest strength but is our greatest weakness.

A true natural rights or civil rights movement would promote an ethnopluralism of ethnostates for all groups, black, white, brown, yellow, or red, with each ethnostate protected from marauding imperialists, global businesses, supremacists, Marxists, etc., and defended by a defensive federalism. An ethnopluralism of ethnostates could be established legally in the United States with our constitutional separation of powers and states.

Renewing mythopoetic power with material evolution (from the archive)

The transfiguring goal for Friedrich Nietzsche in his early writings was the creation of great men, a republic of genius. Although that is important it is not nearly enough. Renewal requires the religious goal of our material evolution to Godhood in the cosmos, which brings a far more exalted renewal of consciousness, and contains the power to revive religion, philosophy and art in the modern world.

Early Nietzsche could not see his way out of the loss of both religion and science other than through the rebirth of art-myth as a guide to truth, along with creating individual great men as the goal of culture. Nietzsche thought that this loss of myth was the result of the reasoning ideal of Socrates which supposedly destroyed myth, and also after the “historical sense” and the abstract pursuit of knowledge for knowledge sake in modern times further destroyed myth and religion. Kant helped this destruction along by showing the limits of knowledge, and Schopenhauer by adding the Will as the superior force to all knowledge.

But we don't have to loose reason with religion or lose science with religion. Theological materialism continues the alliance of faith and reason but with an evolutionary, nonspiritual, material view of Godhood and Logos, with religion affirming an ordered, rational, material, evolution to supermaterial Godhood. 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 toward ascending levels of Godhood---science can help it along the way.

It is not tragic music, as Nietzsche and Schopenhauer thought, which expresses “the immediate language of the will,” it is evolution. It is not the will to power but the material inward evolutionary will to live, or Tirips, that activates evolution to ascending levels of Godhood, which evolution and natural selection then shapes. That is the real and deepest source for a renewal of mythopoetic power; evolution is the source of the super-epic for art, affirming the struggle to attain Godhood. Art can bring religion to life but it is not religion.

Masters of abstractions and real purposes (from the archive)

I try to write religious and art philosophy that is accessible, my instincts seem to go in that direction, in thinking and writing, trying to make things clear, wiping away my own fog. For me this means using real language used by real people. I like to think that this helps me avoid some of the problems of religion and philosophy which bury real things, real truths, in too many abstractions. 

The irony is, saying that living objects are more important than the definitions of the objects and even the truths about the object, is itself placing a truth above the object. In seeking the truth with real independence and courage the optimism or justification comes from the hope that the truths presented will one day help people, actual objects, at least in the future, even years from now. 

The masters of abstraction seem to create fiefdoms with their abstractions where they play games with others who are trying to be masters of abstractions in academia and the arts. They don't really care if people prefer real language, but they do want to at least dazzle the proles enough to look up to them as masters and pay their salaries. This does not seem like a good way to find the truth. 

Real Purposes  

The real purpose of art, politics, and science has been forgotten, if it ever was articulated, and that is, the evolution of life to ascending levels of Godhood. Art, politics, and science have become mostly anti-evolutionary. 

When Carl Jung helped the founder of Alcoholics Anonymous by suggesting that craving spirits was at bottom craving spirituality, Jung was relating to real purposes. The goal is inherent in life itself seeking to evolve to Godhood, and the various fields at least should relate in their various ways to this larger goal. 

This is how art, politics and science can be seen as affirming the religious realm.  The greatest art has always been an affirmation of the sacred. Even sex is designed not for procreation alone, beneath this drive is the activation of life to evolve all the way to ascending levels of Godhood, or as close to eternal representation as possible.
 
This way the various fields can be seen in their ultimate themes and directions as being within the religious realm. Art for art sake, or wealth for wealth sake, or politics for politics sake is not nearly enough.

In theological materialism religion, faith, and science can legitimately unite

The alliance of faith and reason was one of the primary characteristics of the West. The Logos God, of ordered rationality,

was considered to be at the core of the cosmos by Judaic-Christianity, where reason reveals most of the truths of life but faith then completes the process.

Theological materialism takes the same position but with an evolutionary, nonspiritual, material view of Godhood, with religion affirming an ordered, rational, material, evolution to supermaterial Godhood. Having a goal to evolution---when the conventional position is a goalless random evolution---of evolving toward ascending levels of Godhood is where a slight amount of faith comes in, but it is an hypothesis that will one day be considered rational.

We can indeed immanentize the eschaton, attain Godhood directly within nature and evolution, when we affirm that 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 toward ascending levels of Godhood---science can help it along the way.

In theological materialism religion, faith, and science can legitimately unite.

People don't seem to care about the desperate demographic trend

Why don't people realize that if present demographic trends continue in the West the mass disappearance of whites will happen? People don't seem to care. I've had more than one white person say to me regrading the demographic trend; “Who cares, all whites do is start wars anyway.”

According to Brookings Institution demographer William Frey, between 2010 and 2020, while America’s population grew by 20 million, our white population fell for the first time since the 1790 census. White Americans fell as a share of the population in all 50 states, in 358 of 364 metropolitan areas, in 3,012 of 3,141 counties. During that same decade, our Black population grew by 3 million, our Asian population by 4 million and our Hispanic population by 10 million. White folks, who made up 69% of the U.S. population in 2000 when George W. Bush was elected, have fallen today to 60%.

You don't have to be an historian to see that people, ethnic groups, with their mostly inborn traits, create cultures. Why? "The genes hold culture on a leash. The leash is very long, but inevitably values will be constrained in accordance with their effects on the human gene pool. The brain is a product of evolution. Human behavior...is the circuitous technique by which human genetic material has been and will be kept intact...” (Edward O. Wilson)

People don't seem to have a clue that it is the people more than the culture who make a nation and culture what it is. A European will create a culture different from a Chinese who will create a culture different than an African, almost irregardless of where they live or what ideas they may have. Can there be a nation not rooted in ethnic identity? That is considered a politically incorrect question to ask but it should have been asked by the Founders, because it has led to a demographic tragedy.

In America we have the political tool of adjusting the Constitutional separation of the powers and states to an ethnopluralism of ethnostates, which seems radical, but it remains conservative because it retains the Roman law and English precedence that our Founders customized or adapted for America. Ethnostates can bring our increasingly diverse culture, which is naturally not getting along together, back to real and workable human nature, which is kin and ethnic centered, and that can truly make America great again.

The alternatives are the disappearance of whites, fascism on the left or the right, etc. etc.

The “March of History” is better defined by evolution than by anything else

Today's conservatives won't mention ethnic or racial conservatism and the biological origin of social behavior which is at the root of real conservatism. Only Pat Buchanan has the courage to mention it, but then he falls back on a universal sinful fallen nature and the imperfectibility of man as the moral root of conservatism, which weakens conservatism.

Human nature evolved to be genetically kin-centered and ethnic-centered, even xenophobic, as well as being genetically gender defined, age-graded, heterosexual, marriage-making, hierarchical, and religious-making, with group-selection and ethnic selection as the primary unit of successful selection, followed by individual selection.

But the principles of conservatives are largely sound, conservative's believe that there exists a legitimate presumption in favor of things long established. Theological materialism is not a rebellion against the old moral order, indeed, evolution depends upon the old moral order retaining any good evolutionary changes or mutations - - - an unstable society cannot evolve easily, during war, for example, survival and reproduction decreases.

Some conservative's think that “natural law” is an inadequate basis for political authority, but I would turn that around and say that the moral order without consideration of the natural law of evolution and the biological origin of social behavior is an inadequate basis for political authority.

We can be moralists, but also naturalists, evolution is central to ordered evolution. I think the “March of History” is better defined by evolution than by anything else. We evolve to ascending levels of real Godhood by way of material evolution, with ups and downs along the way. 

To ignore the natural laws of evolution is to ignore the cosmos and life in the cosmos, and if we do ignore evolution, the eternal laws will operate, in any case, for good or ill, regarding human ideals.

The civilized majority may be getting tired of being silent

I can't decide whether the liberal barbarians are just stupid or simply don't care that the silent majority, which is the civilized majority, is almost boiling over at the minority barbarian protesters and rioters in our cities, which will probably result in President Trump being elected to another term. The civilized majority may be getting tired of being silent, I don't think they want to elect a fascist dictator but they want someone to reestablish law and order. 

They better do it quick because according to Brookings Institution between 2010 and 2020, while America’s population grew by 20 million, our white population fell for the first time since the 1790 census. Whites, who made up 69% of the U.S. population in 2000 when George W. Bush was elected, have fallen today to 60%. In a democracy where nonwhites are Democrats white culture will be fading away. 

When I see that many of the protesters and rioters are young whites who have been brainwashed by their college professors and the media to be Marxists, I almost understand why Mao made college professors go work in the rice fields during the cultural revolution in China. We need another kind of change.  

A true natural rights or civil rights movement would promote an ethnopluralism of ethnostates for all groups, black, white, brown, yellow, or red, with each ethnostate protected from marauding imperialists, global businesses, supremacists, Marxists, etc., and defended by a defensive federalism. An ethnopluralism of ethnostates could be established, legally, in the United States with our constitutional separation of powers and states. That is the most humane solution to our deepening identity crisis.

The tragedy of conservatism: what defines a nation?

Traditional conservatives talk about the two visions of America as being between those who believe in "places" (Jeffersonians) and those who believe in "ideas (Hamiltonians)" and how modern liberals and neoconservatives talk only of abstract ideas.

But people come before places or ideas in defining a nation. Places and ideas are important but it is the people who essentially make a nation and culture what it is. Does it really have to be said that a European will create a culture different from a Chinese who will create a culture different than an African, almost irregardless of where they live or what ideas they may have? 

Can there be a nation not rooted in ethnic identity? This is considered a politically incorrect question to ask. It should have been asked by the Founders, because it has led to the tragedy of conservatism.

This tragedy stems from the liberal, and even conservative, blockade of knowledge of the biological or genetic origin of most of our social behavior, which does not fit their abstract "ideas" about the malleability of human nature and culture, or the fallen nature of man.

This misplaced hierarchy of values also explains why the saving political solution, of adapting our already existing constitutional separation of powers and states toward an ethnopluralism of ethnostates continues to be left out of discussions regarding the solution to our growing civil disruptions.

Human nature is genetically kin-centered and ethnic-centered, even xenophobic, as well as being genetically gender defined, age-graded, heterosexual, marriage-making, hierarchical, and religious-making, with group-selection and ethnic selection as the primary unit of successful selection, followed by individual selection. A true natural rights or civil rights movement would promote an ethnopluralism of ethnostates for all groups, black, white, brown, yellow, or red, with each ethnostate protected from marauding imperialists, global businesses, supremacists, Marxists, etc., and defended by a defensive federalism. An ethnopluralism of ethnostates could be established legally in the United States with our constitutional separation of powers and states. 

America and the world needs to be rid of the various versions of imperialism, whether financial, religious or racial. A United States of independent ethnostates, and a Europe and Asia of thousands of independent states, federated for defense, and concerned with true human nature and future evolution, is the future that we require.

How did such common sense become politically incorrect?

Totalities

Both Christ and Darwin were organized around a complex of laws and concepts that fit together in a totality. Christ's world view was instigated by God and Darwin's by material evolution, although Darwin seems to have believed in God as well. Before Darwin science had challenged the Christian totality with the Enlightenment as scientific reasoning became the instigator of the totality.

Integrality became the more politically correct new word for totality following communist and fascists attempts to create political totalities. The fascists became entangled in racial supremacy versus racial inferiority and the communists became entangled in forcing racial equality, and both fell apart rather quickly.

The arrogance of traditional religious philosophy is to believe that the human intellect (which some call spirit ) can grasp the “totality” of things, which defined the goal of philosophy for them, that is, to see the world by transcending the world to experience the “spiritual” world of God.

Regarding totalities we could almost think of history as BD, before Darwin, and AD after Darwin. Before Darwin in the West total history was thought of as before and after Christ, BC/AD.

I see the goal of philosophy as seeing the ongoing process of life activated by the deepest sacred drive of life to live and evolve, which essentially creates the biological origin of social behavior, and that activation has the material goal of evolving life all the way to Godhood within the ups and downs of natural evolutionary life. 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 Godhood, where grasping the “totality” of things may be possible, but beyond the reach of the present human species.

So Godhood, religion, and moral end-goals remain, but without demeaning life or the material evolution to those goals. Thomas Aquinas got the goal right when he said the goal of human beings is to attain the likeness of God, but he got it wrong when he said to attain the likeness of God an un-material soul must separate from the material body. It is not a non-material soul or or spirit that brings us to a non-material Godhood, the sacred material drive of life brings us to super-material Godhood by way of material evolution, and the great and sacred task is to help it along its way.

If real kin and ethnic-centered human nature is allowed to be what it is, it would naturally lead to regionalism, localism, general conservative values, eventually ethnostates, and finally an ethnopluralism of ethnostates, protected from marauding imperialists, supremacists, and global money grubbers, with a defensive federalism.

That defines the next totality.

In our cities today we are now seeing force being used by rioting protesters and police because naturally the melting pot didn't melt

The project of multiculturalism, which took the place of the melting pot that didn't melt, is unnatural or actually anti-nature, because people naturally sort themselves into kin and ethnic groups, tribes, and nations---to suppress this requires, in the final analysis, force, such as was used in the short-lived Soviet Union. Today this multiculturalism is done in the form of globalization with transnational institutions, economic production, and neoconservatism, as well as with cultural Marxism, where only a small elite really benefit, at least in the short term.

Human nature is universally genetically kin-centered and ethnic-centered, even xenophobic, as well as being genetically gender defined, age-graded, heterosexual, marriage-making, hierarchical, and religious-making, with group-selection and ethnic selection as the primary unit of successful selection, followed by individual selection. This means that multiculturalism and globalization are actually anti-nature, which in the final analysis is why force is used to install them.

In our cities today we are now seeing force being used by rioting protesters and police because naturally the melting pot didn't melt the big differences between blacks and whites. Antifa wants to forcefully impose another form of Marxism on America. It won't work because people always naturally sort themselves into kin and ethnic groups, tribes, and nations.

So we have to wait still longer for people to catch up to the new yet old knowledge of the true natural rights or civil rights movement which promotes ethnostates and an ethnopluralism of ethnostates for all groups, black, white, brown, yellow, or red, with each ethnostate protected from marauding imperialists, global businesses, supremacists, Marxists, etc., and defended by a defensive federalism. An ethnopluralism of ethnostates could be established legally in the United States with our constitutional separation of powers and states. That is the most humane solution to our deepening identity crisis.

Loose reflections on upward evolution and art (from the archive)

If form is determined by content, what is ugly content? The opposite of the classical standards of beauty, simplicity, restraint, proportion, harmony, intelligence, clarity, strength...

Upward evolution might be called  the art and science of attaining beautiful form and noble content. The goal is attaining the zenith of form and content, which is Godhood. 

When we define classical standards we can't stop at human perfection, as classical standards tend to do, the ideal is Godhood which means evolving beyond human form and content. 

In defining Godhood we channel all the subject matter we have. The Romantics used to say all the arts end in music, we could say all life, art, politics, all evolution, tends toward their highest completion in Godhood. 

Not “evolutionism”, which might be called evolution for evolution's sake. That is a limitation, like art for art's sake in aestheticism. Evolution has the sacred goal of ascending levels of Godhood, for the sake of Godhood, and for the sake of the material activation within life, or Tirips,  which seeks Godhood, while it is also shaped by outside evolution.

Can we live with the discontent from seeking higher evolution and not stopping at the status quo? The conservative connection with evolution comes in Ordered Evolution toward Godhood, beyond the Father Within, which was first seen in the Inward Path of the great religions---now transformed in the Outward Path of material evolution to ascending levels of Godhood.  

Revolutions, like war, tend to sweep all gains away. That might slow down evolution which over time needs the order of tradition and peace, while seeking and keeping the best of the new, using all fields in eugenics and genetic engineering to define and attain the best, but still grounded in classical standards.

Why the “fallen nature of man” was an evil idea

The “fallen nature of man” was an evil idea put in place to explain why the natural human material tendencies don't conform to the religious spiritual definition of man, and to hold in check those natural tendencies.

Contrary to the Traditionalist school it is the idea of Maya that is mistaken, which says that the material world is an unreal illusion and the spiritual world is real, when it is the material world that is real; the spiritual “God” is only inwardly and materially experienced as bliss when all the desires are gotten rid of by the ascetics. 

In 413 Augustine said there is a material city of man and spiritual city of God and Christians were not of this world, which thereafter brought a tension to Western Christianity between church and state. Monastic loving Augustine was thinking more like Christ, just as Christ resembled Buddha, who believed that material desires are hell and the religious path is to rid the body of all material desires, that was the way to see or experience the bliss of nirvana, which Christ called the God Within.

The material evolution of life toward real Godhood shows the contrast between the Outward Path evolution of life and the Inward Path of sacrifice, renunciation, asceticism, fasting etc. designed to reject the drives and desires of material life mainly so as to experience the beatific vision, which like nirvana is a peak material experience brought on by severe ascetic restrictions.

The separation between the material and the spiritual in all the revealed religions was a big metaphysical error, which set up a great spiritual blockade against the material and supermaterial evolution of life to ascending levels of real supermaterial Godhood.

There need not be that tension between the material and the spiritual just as there need not be tension between religion and science and the political. A better more real and more natural formula is to follow the biological origin of social behavior.

The evolutionary Outward Path to Godhood brings back the ideals of life and living, heroism, cultivating wisdom, strength, beauty, health, kinship and ethnic bonds, harmony with life and nature; natural instincts can then be religiously appreciated and seen as vital because we evolve to Godhood by way of material evolution and successful survival and reproduction, which now can be aided by the genetic sciences.

The most humane solution to our deepening identity crisis

As people get more desperate they call for more radical political solutions. But that desperation does not necessitate radical political behavior on the right (fascism) or the left (communism) even though people increasingly long for law and order, moral clarity, and a familiar homogeneous culture.

 

Conservative traditions built up over centuries can't be overlooked because they helped us survive and prosper. But when real human nature is included in the diagnosis for a solution to the increasing divisions in America, that is, when it is understood that real human nature remains genetically and biologically kin-centered, gender defined, heterosexual, marriage-making, hierarchical, ethnocentric, even xenophobic, and religious-making, among other things, with group-selection as the primary unit of successful selection, then we can see that conservative traditions largely missed the biological origin of social behavior, and that lack is mainly responsible for the now violent divisions in America.

The conservative reaction to identity or ethnic oriented politics has been to see it as part of the evil side of human nature which must be suppressed in favor of a universal human nature under God. But race, gender, religion, and sexual orientation tend to eventually conform to the real human nature reflected in “identity politics,” which is why the “Alt-right” came to be. But the Alt-right tends to seek radical political solutions in answer to the people increasingly longing for law and order, moral clarity, and a familiar homogeneous culture.

A true natural rights or civil rights movement would promote an ethnopluralism of ethnostates for all groups, black, white, brown, yellow, or red, with each ethnostate protected from marauding imperialists, global businesses, supremacists, Marxists, etc., and defended by a defensive federalism. An ethnopluralism of ethnostates could be established, legally, in the United States with our constitutional separation of powers and states. That is the most humane solution to our deepening identity crisis.

Solving the age old problem of division and union in America

Our Founders tried to solve the age old problem of division and union in America. They relied on the ideas of people like Aristotle to help solve the differences between rich and poor, etc, but they missed the problems that came later from allowing unlimited and undiscriminating immigration, most likely assuming immigrants would be from Christian northern Europe. 

Hamilton thought open and free economics could help heal the divisions between rich and poor by giving everyone a chance at getting rich, and it was very successful when the culture was homogeneous, but ethnic and racial divisions later followed the unlimited and undiscriminating immigration. And the Founders also missed the social problems that would later come from allowing black slavery for economic purposes. Our inner cities eventually became filled with unassimilated blacks.

What was missing was knowledge of the biological origin of social behavior which came with Darwin, when real human nature could be seem as being genetically kin and ethnic centered, with group selection as the main unit of successful survival and reproduction. 

The decline of America culture and the American people really began to accelerate in the 1960's when several destructive things came together: postmodernism in the academic world, hedonism promoted by the Big Media, modern liberalism on the left, and libertarianism on the right, and of course continuing unlimited and undiscriminating immigration.

For example, white Minnesotan's have turned themselves inside out to accommodate non-whites. Populations of people of color have increased faster in Minnesota than the rest of the nation since 2010. The over  20,000 Somali's in Minneapolis have begun to broadcast the call to prayer over loudspeakers in their neighborhoods. There are more than 66,000 Hmong in Minnesota, the largest concentration of Hmong in America. The assimilation  of Somalis and Hmong has not taken place, and recent riots in Minneapolis have shown us that that the inner city blacks have after many years still not really assimilated.

The first person I read who had the knowledge and the self-sacrificing courage to challenge Spengler's cyclic view of history was Wilmot Robertson in "The Ethnostate.” Robertson suggested that we could halt and reverse the decline of America by transforming the socially destructive aspects of ethnic or racial competition into developing socially constructive ethnostates.  The new (yet old) solution to the division of the nation, which the liberals and cultural Marxists have willing and consciously created with the help of the media and the schools, is to form ethnostates or an ethnopluralism of ethnostates. 

We will probably have to wait for future leaders to pick up what President Trump leaves undone, as he picked up what Ronald Reagan left undone. But we can continue to counter Spengler's prediction of inevitable fall by solving the age old problem of division and union in America by working toward forming an ethnopluralism of ethnostates, legally adapted from our Constitutional separation of powers and states, and then protecting the ethnostates from marauding imperialists, supremacists, and global money grubbers, with a defensive federalism.  

I think the Founders might approve.

What is religion, education, politics, and art?

What is religion other than revealing how to be in harmony with the sacred goal of life. What is education other than to reveal all of real human nature. What is politics other than to biologically and culturally advance human beings. What is art other than to affirm these things? 

Ideas are often expressions of the biological origin of social behavior related to whatever field the ideas are presenting. This includes the ideas of religion, philosophy, politics, art, etc, which usually define the moral superiority of their causes. Ideas often mask the will to life of biology. But one idea, the idea of the biological origin of social behavior does not mask the biological origin of social behavior. 

I would like to see the conservatism of Russell Kirk and George Kennan expanded to include an ethnopluralism of ethnostates or regions, which I call deep-conservatism, or evolutionary conservatism. Even with the constant political propaganda of cultural Marxism, left-liberalism, and global neoconservatism constantly preached in all our schools and across the media, human nature remains as it has always been, genetically or biologically 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. So race, gender, religion, and sexual orientation tend to eventually conform to the human nature reflected in conservative and identity politics.

The practical solution to the diversity of bio-cultural identities in the world, each with its own healthy natural urge to perpetuate itself and establish its own culture, is not to try to jam everyone together in the same territory or to demand a creed of equality or multiculturalism, but to establish ethnostates for all distinctive groups and then protect them from marauding imperialists, supremacists, and money grubbers, with a defensive federalism. For example, an ethnopluralism of ethnostates or regions could be established, legally, in the United States adapted from our constitutional separation of powers and states.

We can indeed immanentize the eschaton, attain Godhood directly within nature and evolution, when we affirm that 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 Godhood.

Expansion and positive manipulation of evolutionary realism in art (from the archive)

Architect Peter Kellow (American Arts, Spring 2013) defines the Baroque as the manipulation of classical architecture for the sake of theatrical effect. Adapting this to Evolutionary Realism (ER) I would define ER as the expansion and positive manipulation of realism in art for the religious sake of affirming the material evolution of life to Godhood, which is art as an affirmation of the sacred.

ER might have been called idealistic realism, which seems to have been what the classical realists were up to in Ancient Greece. Representing things as true to nature defines realism, and in being idealistically future-oriented ER is a realistic central part of nature. Evolution can be seen as metamorphosis in the sense that life is activated from within by the material Will-To-Godhood, or Tirips, which is later shaped by genetic evolution and outside natural selection.

Science accepts no end-goal purpose or teleology in evolution seeing only blind survival and reproduction, and I don't fault science in their empirical strictness. I don't advocate a vitalistic activation within life to support anti-rationalism or to be anti-science, I expect science to affirm this activation from within toward Godhood one day.

Evolutionary realism in art points to purpose behind evolution, it sees Tirips activating material life to evolve to supermaterial Godhood, shaped by outside evolution, and ER seeks to represent and affirm this with art in an expansive and creative but still realistic way.  Art, like true human nature, is a group endeavor and realism communicates best with real human nature.  Art for art's sake is as short-sighted and silly as anarchic individualism or moral relativity.

What we should have is people being woke to the sociobiological reality of the biological origin of social behavior

"The genes hold culture on a leash. The leash is very long, but inevitably values will be constrained in accordance with their effects on the human gene pool. The brain is a product of evolution. Human behavior . .is the circuitous technique by which human genetic material has been and will be kept intact..." Edward O. Wilson

The black slang term woke culture or woke politics associated with social justice and racial justice pushes cultural Marxism, political correctness, multiculturalism, with constant attacks on the nuclear family, marriage, patriotism, traditional morality, law and order, etc., but it really means being asleep to the reality of the biological origin of social behavior, or the opposite of being woke.

What we should have is people being woke to the sociobiological reality of the biological origin of social behavior which defines human nature as being genetically kin-centered and ethnic-centered, even xenophobic, as well as being genetically gender defined, age-graded, heterosexual, marriage-making, hierarchical, and religious-making, with group-selection and ethnic selection as the primary unit of successful selection, followed by individual selection.

What would being woke to the sociobiological reality of the biological origin of social behavior mean politically? Given real human nature a true natural rights or civil rights movement would promote an ethnopluralism of ethnostates for all groups, black, white, brown, yellow, or red, with each ethnostate protected from marauding imperialists, global businesses, supremacists, Marxists, etc., and defended by a defensive federalism. An ethnopluralism of ethnostates could be established legally in the United States with our constitutional separation of powers and states. That is the most humane solution to our deepening identity crisis.

Exploiting and hypertrophying the biological traits of men and women

The biological origin of social behavior has been overlooked, blocked really, in all fields, but especially in defining gender, by the cultural Marxism which has invaded all are schools as well as the media.

Sane and rational people know that “men and women have different body structures, sexual systems and biological responses and processes”---only fools and demagogues deny it. There are obvious genetic and hormonal differences between men and women which certainly influence both gender and cultural behavior.

French nationalist Charles Maurras thought that individualism was feminine and part of the gushing political romanticism of women, whereas he thought men are supposedly more rational creators of social order. I would center on the nurturing qualities of woman genetically directed toward nurturing their individual families which have been exploited and hypertrophied by the cultural Marxists into nurturing the whole world with open borders etc. But the same exploiting and hypertrophying of the biological traits of men also is done, scrambling their brains with cultural Marxism (demanding equality for the unequal), radical feminism (demanding biologically unnatural roles for women), homosexuality (demanding biologically unnatural sexual life styles) and postmodern relativism (demanding a biologically unnatural relativity of values).

What is blocked by the cultural Marxists in the schools and in the media and missing in modern men and women is knowledge of the biological origin of social behavior. Real human nature is biologically kin-centered, age-graded, heterosexual marriage-making, hierarchical, ethnocentric, even xenophobic, among other things, with group-selection as the primary unit of successful selection, followed by individual selection.

A true natural rights or civil rights movement would promote an ethnopluralism of ethnostates for all groups, black, white, brown, yellow, or red, with each ethnostate protected from marauding imperialists, global businesses, supremacists, Marxists, etc., and then protected by a defensive federalism. An ethnopluralism of ethnostates could be established legally in the United States with our constitutional separation of powers and states. That is the most humane solution to our deepening identity crisis.

Artists of evolutionary realism (from the archive)

I think that the artists of evolutionary realism will have the story, history, philosophy, and religious structure of the material evolution of life on earth to ascending levels of Godhood in the cosmos. This is the new iconology. Modernist art, now collapsed, and postmodern art, going nowhere, had no story, no history, nothing but the individual sensations and conceptions of individual artists who nevertheless conformed to the anarchy and nihilism of the times, while rejecting realist art and rejecting the moral imagination in art which Burke and Kirk affirmed.

There has been a beginning in the “classical realism” promoted by the American Arts quarterly, but the artists need to find a more profound subject for our evolutionary age. Great art has always been based in the affirmation of the sacred. Human history is not enough, sacredness is required. Sacred evolution is the channel of the narration. The ordered material evolution of life on earth to ascending levels of Godhood in the cosmos provides the change needed within conservatism. Godhood is a distant goal but it is possible to better see and affirm the distant ideal through art---politics enters there. 

The deep degrading of material life brought on by the church defining God as non-material and spiritual

The root of sexual abuse in the church, the sexual molestation of minors, etc., which the church itself considers a mortal sin, ultimately comes from the deepest degrading of material life brought on by the church defining God as non-material and spiritual. The celibacy of priests derives from the same degrading of material life. In his study of the Vatican, journalist Frederic Martel said that up to 80 percent of the clergy at Vatican City are homosexuals, though not all of them are active. And the Vatican thinks that this plague can only be eradicated with more spiritual weapons!

The biggest tragedy that comes from the degrading of material life and the spiritual definition of God is that it sets up a Great Spiritual Blockade against material life evolving to real supermaterial Godhood.

The material evolution of life toward Godhood shows the contrast between the Outward Path evolution of life and the Inward Path of sacrifice, renunciation, asceticism, fasting etc. designed to reject the drives and desires of material life mainly so as to experience the beatific vision, which like nirvana is a peak material experience brought on by severe ascetic restrictions. There is massive metaphysical irony in the church being against the abortion of babies while in its deepest theology degrading the material world and defining God as non-material and spiritual.

The evolutionary Outward Path to Godhood brings back the ideals of life and living, heroism, cultivating wisdom, strength, beauty, health, kinship, ethnic bonds, and harmony with life and nature; the instincts of sex and reproduction can again be religiously vital and appreciated because we evolve to Godhood only by way of material evolution and successful survival and reproduction, which now can be aided by the genetic sciences.

But for conservatives we can in the Twofold Path retain that old Inward Path to the God within as the first imperfect glimpse of Godhood wrongly defined as spiritual, which has blocked the evolutionary path to real supermaterial Godhood in the Outward Path.

Overemphasizing individualism

Individual rights are important but they should not be inflated over group rights, both biology and common sense tell us that the individual cannot survive without the group, and the evolutionary sciences have shown us that the group has been the primary unit of successful selection.

Human nature lines up well with biological or evolutionary conservatism, not with the overemphasized Romantic individualism of Rousseau. Human nature evolved to be genetically kin-centered and ethnic-centered, even xenophobic, as well as being genetically gender defined, age-graded, heterosexual, marriage-making, hierarchical, and religious-making, with group-selection and ethnic selection as the primary unit of successful selection, followed by individual selection.

When conservatives like Tucker Carlson attack “identity politics” by overemphasizing individualism, they encourage the same selfish narcissism in American culture and in the business world that has been ruining us.

The melting pot didn't melt and when that didn't work the American mosaic, or pluralist society, took its place, but that didn't work either and caused much social disorder, because human nature is biological kin and ethnic centered and tends to want every group to assimilate away its uniqueness except its own.

Clueless modern liberals still promote both pluralist societies and universal equality. Conservative's do the same but try to bring in a neutered nationalism of creedal individualism rather than solid conservative biological bonds.

We need ethnostates for all ethnic groups or races in America, legally adapted from our Constitutional separation of powers and states, and then protected from marauding imperialists, supremacists, and global money grubbers, with a defensive federalism---in line with both biology and common sense.

Given human nature multi-cultural multi-ethnic societies are a futile dream

The reality of multicultural multi-ethnic societies is that they are a zero sum game where the gain of one ethnic group is offset by the loss of another ethnic group. Real human nature is genetically kin and ethnic-centered, which the evolutionary sciences have been telling us for years.

The “black lives matter” movement is mainly the slightly disguised will to power of blacks, the protests and riots almost always become a shakedown of whites to obtain power or money, losing sight of the original injustice, which are often fakes. 

Many whites who promote the black lives matter movement have been brainwashed by the schools and the media and do not realize that the movement is mainly the raw will to power of blacks---do cuckolded whites really want to live in a black culture? 

Given human nature multi-cultural multi-ethnic societies are a futile dream. A true natural rights or civil rights movement would promote ethnostates and an ethnopluralism of ethnostates for all groups, black, white, brown, yellow, or red, with each ethnostate protected from marauding imperialists, global businesses, supremacists, Marxists, etc. An ethnopluralism of ethnostates could be established legally in the United States with our constitutional separation of powers and states.

The cultural zoo

The cultural zoo we have today is mainly the result of the attempt to abandon the basic biological origin of social behavior.

Amoral modern technology didn't predict how it would gradually help take away the traditional gender roles of women and men making it possible for either gender to push the button on missiles or robot vacuum cleaners. But the overall attempt to denaturalize the genders does not work any better than the attempts to denaturalize politics, although a lot of damage can be done in the process. There are obvious genetic and hormonal differences between men and women, as well as between different ethnic groups, which certainly influence both gender, ethnic, and cultural behavior.

The rise of cultural Marxism (demanding equality for the unequal), radical feminism (demanding biologically unnatural roles for women), homosexuality (demanding biologically unnatural sexual life styles) and postmodern relativism (demanding a biologically unnatural relativity of values) has led to biologically and culturally diseased societies.

Real genetically-derived human nature contains not only big gender differences, human nature in general remains biologically kin-centered, age-graded, heterosexual marriage-making, hierarchical, ethnocentric, even xenophobic, among other things, with group-selection as the primary unit of successful selection, followed by individual selection.

The cultural zoo we live in today does not agree with the reality of the basic biological origin of social behavior.

On the rise to political power

Paul Gottfried said “There’s only one way, as far as I can tell, that a political force can take off. It’s the way neoconservatives moved up, by putting together a king’s fortune, which they used to acquire media power.” But so did the now faded WASPS and the not-fading Jews become a political force, by putting together a king’s fortune which they used to acquire media power. And so did the cultural Marxists in the schools attach themselves to the media powers, although cunning social skills in the battle for ideas lined up against the biological origin of social behavior and had much to do with the rise of the cultural Marxists in the schools.

What Gottfried and other paleoconservatives don't mention is beneath all these grabs for power is the biological origin of social behavior. The reality of multicultural multi-ethnic societies is that they are a zero sum game where the gain of one ethnic group is offset by the loss of another ethnic group. Why don't the paleos mention that?

Perhaps it doesn't line up with the conservative religious-based agenda which says that God is the origin of social behavior; but more likely knowledge of the biological origin of social behavior gets in the way of a Machiavellian ethnic bid for power: human nature remains genetically kin-centered and ethnic-centered, with group-selection and ethnic selection as the primary unit of successful selection, followed by individual selection.

Evolutionary conservatism features the biological origin of social behavior. A true natural rights or civil rights movement would promote an ethnopluralism of ethnostates for all groups, black, white, brown, yellow, or red, with each ethnostate protected from marauding imperialists, global businesses, supremacists, Marxists, etc., and defended by a defensive federalism.
 
An ethnopluralism of ethnostates could be established legally in the United States with our constitutional separation of powers and states. That is the most humane conservative solution to our deepening identity crisis.

 

The deplorables are politically wiser then the college educated

The Media of course criticized president Trump's July Fourth speech at Mount Rushmore as appealing only to his basket of deplorables, his racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, populist supporters. But Trump's supporters increasingly do not give a shit what the media says.

It turns out that the college educated aren't educated, at least not in the humanities, and the basket of deplorables, who Hillary Clinton referred to at an LGBT fundraiser in New York, are politically wiser then the college educated.

The schools and the Media have transformed students and protesters into identifying with a rootless universal “humanity” replacing the way American's naturally identified with their own ancestors and traditions and their own genetic/ethic/racial roots.

The evolutionary sciences have shown us that human nature is genetically kin-centered and ethnic-centered, even xenophobic, as well as being genetically gender defined, age-graded, heterosexual, marriage-making, hierarchical, and religious-making, with group-selection and ethnic selection as the primary unit of successful selection, followed by individual selection.

That is virtually opposite the culturally Marxist view of human nature taught in our schools and broadcast in the the media but it is the general view of human nature of Trump's populist deplorables. Populism, the political approach that strives to appeal to ordinary people who feel that their concerns are disregarded by established elite groups, has certainly risen.

Bringing material beauty back to religion (from the archive)

The highest possible degree of the spirituality in Traditionalism leads to the decline of the material body due to the Great Spiritual Blockade. But the Half-Truth of the Inward Path can join the Half-Truth of the Outward Path to end the spiritual blockade of the Outward Path of material evolution toward Godhood. We can bring Eros, survival, and reproduction back to the sacred, after it has been largely exiled by Traditionalism due to its materialistic content which is considered inferior.

The sacred essence of survival and reproduction is the activating thirst for heavenly beauty which can be reached in the Outward Path of material evolution toward Godhood. When this Sacred Goal of Eros is missing, sex and reproduction can be defined as profane. “Eros with ethics” was the way someone defined advanced Paganism but this was lost in the spiritual abstractions of the Inward Path of the revealed religions. 

 
Sacred Art follows the thirst for heavenly beauty, whereas profane art does not. The activation of material life within, Tirips, helps activate the thirst for the beauty without. Traditionalism tends to see and define only the recalling of the inner path, making an idol of the Soul Within; Traditionalism then puts up a Great Spiritual Blockade against the thirst for material beauty which reaches its zenith in supermaterial Godhood.

Life need not be thought of as “sinking” to scientific rationalism any more than it should sink to spiritualism. Both have been idol-worshiping at one time or another. Traditionalism made an idol of the Soul Within even as it virtually rejected the earth and the material world by calling these things idol worship. Godhood is an evolved sacred material object in the world, not merely an equation outside the world defined as non-material Perfect Truth.

Traditionalism gave us hubristic authority beyond the material world, beyond the stars, and Traditionalism continues to supplant astronomy and biology with the exclusivity of the spiritual Inward Path. But life and beauty can be religiously exhumed from this material neglect.

The Inner God is the Outer God we must evolve to. The Order of the Outward Path of evolution to Godhood brings Eros back, reproduction and evolution to Godhood can be affirmed.

Would this view of art and religion have given aid to Nietzsche?
