The separation between the material and the spiritual was a big metaphysical error

 Russell Kirk (The Conservative Mind):

“A Purpose, a Will, emanates from God; this Will has created our humanity and guides us now in ways beyond our understanding, toward ends which even our reason cannot make out clearly. Providence acts through the instincts and intuitions of our feeble flesh. This being so, the man who takes the materialist, the mechanist, and the Utilitarian for his preceptors in the ends of life is a forlorn fool” – who facilitates rule by demagogues, I would ad.”

-- 

Albert Einstein said “My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind.”

--

Those statements affirm the Great Spiritual Blockade of the revealed religions which has enshrouded the material evolution of life to ascending levels of real Godhood for thousands of years. This has not stopped evolution, which moves inevitably in a pattern, even though it has its random elements---it is a pattern with 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.

The separation between the material and the spiritual was a big metaphysical error. There need not be that tension between the material and the spiritual just as there need not be tension between religion, science, and the political.

The evolutionary Outward Path to Godhood brings back the ideals of life and living, heroism, cultivating wisdom, strength, beauty, health, kinship and ethnic bonds, and 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.

Theological materialism affirms an ordered, rational, material, evolution to supermaterial Godhood. We can attain real Godhood and affirm real religion, but it is a supermaterial Godhood evolved to in the material world---and religion, science, and the political, can aid us in that sacred goal.

The charge of “racism” usually shows an ignorance of human nature

We constantly hear the term “systemic racism” hurled at us from the left, which the right promptly denies, but both responses are not credible. The charge of “racism” usually shows an ignorance of human nature. The true definition of racism and ethnocentrism defines the races as distinct from one another, not equal, but with different talents, while being universally the same in being bio-culturally oriented toward family, ethnic group, and locality. To survive and reproduce successfully races evolved to be compelled by their genes and by the nature of their environment to be internally cooperative but externally xenophobic. The definition of racist and racism pushed by the media and schools of bigots believing that their own racial group is superior and that another racial group is inferior is a defamatory and inaccurate definition of real human nature.

Real human nature is ethnocentric and “racist” because for tens of thousands of years right up to our present time group selection, or ethnic altruism, was the best way for individuals and groups to be successful in survival and reproduction in a zero sum game where the gain of one ethnic group is offset by the loss of another ethnic group. So human nature became 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.

Real human nature should not be left out or denied by political philosophy. If real kin and ethnic-centered human nature was allowed to be what it is, it would naturally lead to regionalism, localism, general conservative values, eventually ethnostates, and finally 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.

Unbound 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 material 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 materially 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 to seek and keep 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.

Who will rule Biden should he become president?

CNN'S obnoxious Don Lemon had to tell Joe Biden to condemn the violence of the “protesters” before Biden finally did it, two months late. We see the kind of people who will rule Biden should he become president: gay, black, culturally Marxist, television journalists. Has there ever been a man running for president as weak as Biden?

Trump will win, maybe in a landslide: the question is how bad will the “protests” be when he does?

Religious, political, and artistic health are defined in the evolution of life, in nature, to Godhood

There is a hierarchy of values beginning with the sacred drive or will (Tirips) to materially evolve toward ascending levels of Godhood. Survival and reproduction follow this beginning material drive. Everything follows this natural hierarchy.

Those who believe in the complete randomness of evolution, the vast majority of scientists, often make dismissive comments regarding any kind of direction to evolution, usually in footnotes to show its unimportance to the text, but then the footnote’s are often emotional and long, protesting too much. I find the arguments that evolution is “non-purposive” and random as closed as the religious arguments denying evolution, information is lacking in both arguments.

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. This does not mean a transcendence from material life to non-material spiritual life, or replacing man with more intelligent machines. I see this great process of evolution toward Godhood as activated from within every atom and within every cell of living bodies, which then react and adapt to the various outside environments that life lives in. This activation is the same activation that leads to the desire to successfully survive and reproduce.

The good news is we can aid in this evolution. We are already shaping where the next generation wants to go, parents are already using testing and screening, genetic counseling, birth control, in vitro fertilization, and genetic engineering, and we can move on from there, as the deceitful paralyzing of eugenics begins to wind down.

Religious, moral, and artistic health are defined in the evolution of life, in nature, to Godhood. Art follows religion, as art can perform the task of affirming the sacred.

Can we have proportion and beauty in the political as in art? (archive)

If it is possible to have proportion and beauty in political order as it was conceived in classical architecture then political order is not only an empirical thing, it is also art, and seems to also call for the eye of the artist, at least the kind of artist who sees beauty in proportion and proportion in beauty.

Proportion and beauty are the blending of opposites and the ordering of different things, not merely by empirical mathematics but by artistic proportion. Although proportion has its own numbers, classical architect's adjusted proportion to fit the eye, not to fit the abstract facts in building the structure.

Thinking of a nation or world containing small states, or ethnostates, protected by a light but defensive federalism, with a variety of different groups and environments, and with the universal goal of materially evolving toward ascending levels of Godhood in their own particular ways---this seems like beautiful proportion to me, even before you track it down empirically, which you can also do with the science of sociobiology, which defines real human nature as primarily kin and ethnic centered.

Beauty and proportion are related to aesthetics whereas you track the good in the moral and philosophical fields, but if you think of Godhood as the zenith of beauty, truth and goodness, which we evolve to in the cosmos, then Godhood is where truth, beauty and goodness attain their connected proportion, blending together in absolute beauty. We head toward that in art and in politics.

From paleoconservatism to evolutionary conservatism

Evolutionary conservatism retains the basic insights of conservatism as explained by Clyde Wilson in writing about M.E Bradford (Chronicles, Dec 2019), but then evolutionary conservatism adds to and deepens paleoconservatism.

Basic paleoconservatism: One: “The American War of Independence was not a revolution made, but a revolution forestalled. Unlike the French Revolution, the Founders acted to preserve their existing self-governing societies, not to overturn society and launch a global revolution for equality.” Two: “Bradford showed that Lincoln abandoned the moderate aspects of the Founding, at least rhetorically. In an attempt to give the Union invasion of the seceded South a universal justification, this wartime president appealed to a transformed America that would engage in a “continuing revolution” for the delusive goal of equality. This, in a more radicalized form, is the regime that we continue to live under today. ” Three: “American writers have generally considered themselves to be alienated rebels against a defective society. The great Southern writers of the 20th century, from Faulkner on down, as Bradford showed, were the faithful, non-alienated bards of the South. They might criticize the folk back home but always, until very recently, identified with their kin and region.” Four: “In the march of life, the Agrarian vision has never lost its relevance when we speak about a genuine American “conservatism” that is rooted in a sense of place.”

Evolutionary conservatism agrees with the paleoconservative condemning of the bigness which was “sought by Americans eager to stretch the republic into an empire, as another false idol that turns us away from the local and humane...”and a culture “poured in from the top” in the modern American way is no culture at all.”

But paleoconservative 's are also very skeptical of human progress and “shun the worship of material progress, particularly when that progress is linked to government efforts to improve human nature.” Evolutionary conservatism sees progress as life infused with the upward climb of evolution toward ascending levels of real Godhood at the zenith of material evolution, which we can and should aid with the evolutionary sciences.

Evolutionary conservatism adds to and deepens basic paleoconservatism by affirming the biological origin of social behavior as defined mainly by the science of sociobiology. Human nature 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. Like the liberals and neoconservatives the paleoconservative's block or conceal the ethnic-centered and xenophobic parts of human nature due it seems to universalist religious edicts. 

My view of the absolute importance of human evolution kept me away from the brilliant seduction of the Traditionalist School which is where the Alt-right turned from their old racialism. Many have now gone over to the school of Guenon, Evola, and the Russian Dugin, and embraced a non-populist, old spiritual religious, imperialist, hierarchy of rule, and have downplayed or even rejected the idea of science and evolutionary progress. Why didn't the Alt-right feature more Western geniuses, men like the brilliant British/American psychologist Raymond Cattell, or the great Neo-Darwinist field of sociobiology, rather than converting to the West-disparaging Russian imperialist Aleksandr Dugin and his Traditionalist School teachers, Guénon and Evola, who did not find science (a jewel of the West) nearly as important as Eastern spiritualism (a jewel of the East).

Evolutionary conservatism believes that if real kin and ethnic-centered human nature was allowed to be what it is, it would naturally lead to regionalism, localism, general conservative values, eventually ethnostates, and finally 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... Then we can all get on with evolving toward Godhood.

Taking away the traditional gender roles of women and men

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 by the vile 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.

The challenge is to get the balance right between masculine and feminine traits, most of which are genetically determined. The overall attempt to denaturalize the genders does not work any better than the attempts to denaturalize politics, and a lot of damage can be done in the process.

Being a champion of evolution I am not against new technology but a-moral modern technology didn't predict how it would gradually 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. Meanwhile modern technology has not changed the basic biology of gender differences which remain as they have been for tens of thousands of years.

Equal pay for equal work everyone agrees with, but things get serious when gender equality in the infantry units of the military is promoted, which becomes a real threat to protecting the lives of either gender. It has been made clear from the data gathered that the only way to have women in infantry units is to lower standards. Mixed sex-units were slower at accomplishing tasks than all male units, and musculature-skeletal differences created many more injuries in women than men.

We have allowed the scrambling of the brains of both men and women 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).

The radical feminist slogans “Smash the patriarchy” and “nasty women make history” are completely contrary to the largely determined (yes determined ) path of human nature and too far away from the biological origin of our social behavior. Human nature has been affirmed throughout human history to this day as being genetically and universally gender defined as traditional, as well as being kin-centered and ethnocentric. This has been ignored by the radical feminists and by modern liberals.

The present trend of hypertrophied feminism will prevail as long as America and the West don't need territorial defending. When we do, our excellent Special Forces will not be nearly enough in number to defend the West against assertive and aggressive males who hate the West---the Islamic terrorists aren't much bemused by feminism and neither are the Chinese and Russians.

Real natural law compromises the transcendence of God

“Hereditary altruists form groups so cooperative and well-organized as to out-compete non-altruists groups.” (E.O. Wilson). 

“Groups of related genes, like ethnic groups, have numerous reasons for cooperating more successfully and harmoniously than with other ethnic groups.” (Ed Dutton)

"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)

 

Traditional “natural law” supports conservatism, but conservative's continue to avoid the ethnocentrism of natural law which is at the origin of religious altruism.

Natural Law should refer to the laws of nature, or the physical sciences of the universe, but religious philosophers don't want to compromise their non-material-spiritual God so they intellectually turn themselves inside out to define a non-material God as natural law---Aquinas was a master at doing that. Real natural law compromises the transcendence of God.

But we can include both ethnocentrism and Godhood in evolutionary conservatism, which affirms the biological origin of social behavior, and defines human nature as naturally and genetically kin and ethnic centered, and also defines ascending levels of Godhood as materially evolved to in the material and supermaterial world. 

If real kin and ethnic-centered human nature was allowed to be what it is, it would naturally lead to regionalism, localism, general conservative values, eventually ethnostates, and finally 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.

Bringing culture in harmony with nature and evolution and with real human nature

Modern humans have been propagandized, brainwashed, by our corrupted schools and by the vile media to believe in 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), which has led us to biologically and culturally diseased societies.

A more real and more natural formula for both conservatives and liberals would be: “Follow human nature and the biological origin of social behavior.” That can lead us affirm an ethnopluralism of ethnostates in politics, evolutionary realism in art, and theological materialism in religion and philosophy.

The ultimate aim of culture is our material evolution toward Godhood, which is the religious perspective of theological materialism. This brings religion and culture in harmony with nature and evolution and also brings us in harmony with real human nature, which is 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. 

The white birth rate is continuing to fall below the replacement level. This obviously means we need to recover our racial and cultural health. If real kin and ethnic-centered human nature was allowed to be what it is, it would naturally lead to regionalism, localism, general conservative values, eventually ethnostates, and finally 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.

This need not be only an apocalyptic voice crying in the wilderness until it is too late. We can bring culture in harmony with nature and evolution and with real human nature.

Beauty and Godhood (from the archive)

We may not want to center only on Beauty as the best metaphor for defining life evolving to Godhood when we have the other fundamental qualities of the highest truth, intelligence, and goodness, etc., but beauty needs to be brought out more than it has been. Truth is powerful yet somehow beauty seems more basic to our material-supermaterial evolution to Godhood. The sense of beauty seems like a more directly understandable metaphor for Godhood than truth or goodness, which are more abstract.

There was always something appealing and real about the attitude of the Ancient Pagan religions toward beauty, think of Greece, and much of this was lost when the monotheist religions concentrated on the Inward Path and the desirelessness which was necessary to experience the God Within, which is a blockade of the senses. In the theological materialism of the TC, the Godhood first seen in the Inward Path is attained in the Outward Path, at the zenith of evolutionary survival and reproduction, and this is definitely related to the real world of the senses.

Godhood can be seen as the zenith of beautiful living objects, the best of the world, not outside the material world but at the zenith of the supermaterial world, even as Godhood is also defined as the most intelligent, truthful, powerful etc. That is how beauty can be centered on.

Why President Trump will probably again win the presidency

The democrats have jumped the gun in the 2020 presidential election, the demographics they count will happen in the next 10 to 15 years when the majority of minority states we have now will include perhaps eight more states where whites make up less than 60% of the population. The time when whites become a faded minority will not take full effect until around 2040. By not condemning the violence within the protests now going on in our cities the Democrats are appealing to black and suicidal white liberal votes, underestimating the strong desire for law and order of white votes, and even the black vote.

So President Trump will probably again win the presidency this time, but the present economic nationalism and populist movement is a stop gap, a temporary way of dealing with a problem in democracies that satisfies mainly a white survival need, which will soon be outvoted in democracies due to the demographic changes. As the ethnicity or race changes the culture and civilization changes, and the biological origin of social behavior is usually a zero-sum game in which one groups gain is equivalent to another’s loss.

This somber reality eventually points toward the political/cultural solution of the ethnopluralism hypothesis, often written about here. It is a legal transformation---not revolution---coming which will bring about an ethnopluralism of ethnostates carved out of our constitutional separation of powers and states. That is the biopolitical or political/cultural structure most in harmony with real human nature, and healthy for all races and ethnic groups. It won't be an easy transition.

The great disguise of the 2020 Democratic National Convention

Everything healthy depends on unblocking the biological origin of social behavior. Watching the 2020 Democratic National Convention last night was like watching a circus of deluded fools promoting the ideas and programs of an nonhuman alien species, with no connection to real human nature other than the human ability to conceal identity.

The disguising of the biological origin of social behavior is ironically activated by the biological origin of social behavior. Modern liberals (cultural Marxists) are mainly ignorant of doing this because they have not been taught or have been blocked from the reality of the biological origin of our social behavior by the cultural Marxists in the media and in our schools.

Think of human nature as a computer program. Biology and the genes are the hardware and culture is the software. “The genes are like the keyboard on which the song of life is played, but the pianist is the social environment. It helps determine which genes are turned on or off.” John T. Cacioppo

Real human nature has no resemblance to the ideas and programs of the deluded fools of the 2020 Democratic National Convention. Human nature 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. Even the conservatives don't accept all of real human nature by blocking or concealing the ethnic-centered and xenophobic parts of human nature due it seems to universalist religious edicts.

If real kin and ethnic-centered human nature was allowed to be what it is, it would naturally lead to regionalism, localism, general conservative values, eventually ethnostates, and finally 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.

The true base of conservatism

Paleoconservative's say that they are neither racists or xenophobes defining the term “racist” as a person who believes that one's own racial group is superior or that a particular racial group is inferior to the others. But the true definition of racism and ethnocentrism sees the races as distinct from one another, not equal, but with different talents, while being universally the same in being bio-culturally oriented toward family, ethnic group, and locality. To survive and reproduce successfully races evolved to be compelled by their genes and by the nature of their environment to be internally cooperative but externally xenophobic. That defines real human nature and suggests the true base of conservatism, and real human nature should not be left out of or denied by political philosophy.

E.O. Wilson writes in “The Social Conquest of the Earth”: “Hereditary altruists form groups so cooperative and well-organized as to out-compete non-altruists groups...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.”

Ed Dutton points out that computer modeling demonstrates that ethnocentric strategies usually triumph and universalist humanitarianism is ultimately a losing strategy “unable to sustain high levels of in-group cooperation.” Humanitarian groups invariably “waste their precious reproductive potential helping out free riders who give them nothing in return...”

That defines real human nature and suggests the true base of conservatism, and real human nature should not be left out of or denied by political philosophy. 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.

On the film version of “On the Road” (from the archive)

 I  finally saw the film version of Jack Kerouac's “On the Road,” (2012,Walter Salles directed) which relied more on the original manuscript than the published book, which might have made the reception of the published book different since the level of thrill-seeking hedonism is much darker in the original manuscript than the book. And this relates to the main thoughts I had from the film.

Thrill-seeking hedonism can be more easily justified if one agrees with Carl Jung's Spirits=Spiritual idea that seeking alcohol/drugs is a disguised desire for the Spiritual and many of the Beat Generation, and their Hippie followers, did eventually seek spirituality in Eastern religions, although Kerouac became trapped in alcoholism.

Hedonism and recklessness in literature and the arts often ties in with the natural rebellion of young people trying to make their way in a society they did not create. But seeking the bliss of the God Within or the Father Within can be seen as another concentrated form of hedonism, a spiritual substitute for alcohol/drugs. The way out of the dead end of  hedonism is not another form of hedonism, a way out comes from transforming the blissful God Within of the Inward Path to the Outward Path and the material evolution of life to ascending levels of Godhood.

The Outward Path---which needs to be seen as the fulfillment of the Inward Path, and the real attainment of the God first seen inwardly---does not lack in thrill-seeking and adventure, since materially evolving to Godhood requires classical courage, heroism and intelligence, even beyond what is required in wild poetic car trips across the country.

Trump is epically fighting against almost all the powers that be

When the U.S. got tired of the anti-American antics of Soviet Union, who were financed by Western governments and banks, and were also spending about 16 billion more than they were making, President Reagan and the banks terminated the flow of cash to the Soviets who then soon collapsed.

Now President Trump has gotten tired of the anti-American antics of China, but it's not easy to control China when the West has invested trillions of dollars in China, and given China entrance into the World Trade Organization, and when Wall Street objects to anything that stops the free flow of global capital, even if Wall Street investments in China finance concentration camps.

But Trump seems determined to stop China from becoming the world's leading power in spite his myriad of enemies who have been trying to destroy him in any way they can. If Biden wins the presidency China will become the world's leading power.

So I say more power to Trump even if he sometimes has an obnoxious personalty. He is fighting against almost all the powers that be, and that makes him an epic hero.

We have no choice but to try to stop the modern liberals from committing suicide, which will take us all down with them

The highly irritating thing about modern liberals is their attitude of superiority which we see in their overbearing manner and their presumptuous claims and arrogant assumptions, even in the face of having suicidal ideas about human political life, which they got from our traitorous schools and the vile media.

The schools and the Media have transformed students and citizens into identifying with a rootless universal “humanity” replacing the way American's naturally identified with their own ancestors and traditions and their own genetic ethnic/racial roots. The schools and the Media have successfully imposed a radical deracination or displacement of American tradition and culture with cultural Marxism. Oligarchies who affirm the Left now rule us and control our democracies, and the Ivy League schools provide the credentials, while virtually the entire Media loudly proclaims the politically correctness of cultural Marxism.

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) have led to biologically and culturally diseased societies across the West.

So how do we stop modern liberals from committing suicide, which will take us all down with them, when they are now closing down all objections to the suicide? If their suicide was not taking us all down with them we might barbarously applaud their suicide and say good riddance. What we require and what we think the world requires, is an affirmation, or reaffirmation, of real human nature acknowledging that human beings are bio-culturally oriented toward family, ethnic group, and locality, and, yes, humans are religiously driven.

When real human nature is suppressed rather than bonded and affirmed, all hell breaks loose. America and the world needs to be rid of the various versions of imperialism, whether financial, religious or racial. A United States of truly independent states, or ethnostates, and a Europe and Asia of thousands of ethnostates, defensively federated, and concerned with true human nature, and future evolution, is the future that we require, and the future that will develop, since ethnostates affirm true human nature in accord with evolution and the natural world.

We have no choice but to try to stop the modern liberals from committing suicide, which will take us all down with them.

How do we respond to the suicidal ignorance of young whites and suburban liberals of multicultural multi-ethnic societies?

If young whites and suburban liberals knew 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, and that their efforts in promoting nonwhites, supporting the rioting black lives matter moment, and labeling whites as evil racists, is malignantly suicidal, would they still support multicultural multi-ethnic societies? The answer is, yes, many of them would accept the suicide of their own ethnic group. Young whites and suburban liberals say things like, “Who cares if whites disappear? All whites have ever done is create wars and destroy the environment.” That is how astoundingly successful the schools and the media, mostly the media, have been in promoting multicultural multi-ethnic societies!  

How do we to respond to such dangerous ignorance? America and the West is in full identity crisis caused by the schools and the media who have successfully imposed a radical displacement of American culture with a cultural Marxism that affirms nonwhites over whites, disguised as a call for equality. How will we deal with the demographic changes in America when we know that as the demographics change the culture changes? Can we hope only for more people to become populist-nationalists in the face of a powerful media which hates all "deplorables" living between the East and West coast? 

I can only quote E. O. Wilson: "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...” 

Although now just rising, I believe identity politics will continue to ascend, but not without big difficulties. 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 a 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.

The language of art and literature: how evolutionary religion outranks Dionysian art (from the archive)

 I think art and literature need to use a language that most people can understand to allow the cultural communication to take place, otherwise art may communicate only to the few, as does much of modern art and literature where you have to first know the arcane language, the overall culture be dammed. Separating the arts into high and low art does happen but both refined and unrefined art can affirm the sacred.  

For me this calls for evolutionary realism, poetic realism, not unlike idealistic classical realism yet steeped in naturalism as studied by sociobiology, that is,  real nature, real human nature, but with the subjects infused with the upward climb of evolution toward Godhood, and with Godhood portrayed as the beautiful supermaterial zenith of material evolution, if that can be done. This way religious art, ultimately the highest form of art, remains as it has always been, an affirmation of the sacred.  

How evolutionary religion outranks Dionysian art 

Nietzsche thought that “spiritualizing” the senses made them artistic, not having much time for religion. But when spiritualizing is seen as a material evolutionary development then spiritualizing can be seen as religious: we materially evolve from the simple to the complex, from lower to higher life in the Outward Path to Godhood. The spiritual in this way is really the material evolving to the supermaterial. Art still follows religion, as art performs the task of affirming the sacred. 

To Nietzsche, nature is immoral in relation to traditional religions, but nature can be seen as moral in relation to evolution, nature can be virtuous again as we evolve materially toward Godhood. When Schopenhauer threw away real life in becoming a virtual Buddhist, Nietzsche tried to revive life again with the will-to-power, but with a will of no end goal, no teleology. Nietzsche's art was a Dionysian celebration of the tragedy of amoral existence. In this way Nietzsche seems to have corrupted the will almost as much as Schopenhauer. Religious, moral, and artistic health are defined in the evolution of life, in nature, to Godhood.

Grand Strategy

The problem with Thomas Barnett's  "Grand Strategy" is that it ignores too much of human nature. The "international liberal trade order " was not “created” by President Roosevelt. It was implemented by Roosevelt mainly for bankers and very fat cats who really did not have “world peace and justice” in mind but had individual power and wealth in mind. America's neoconservative “New World Order” grew out of this mentality. China is not really “integrating” into the Western New World Order, it is seeking dominance over the West. China wants to rule the world order, and usurp the West. China wants to make docile workers out of Americans as it did Chinese workers. Globalization is happening (or was happening) because Western financial powers wanted it to happen, not because the world wants to be like middle class Americans.

 America's model of getting the world “marketized,” having all genders in the labor force, etc., is in fact destroying ethnic and cultural identities around the world. The view that a “synthetic identity” of “global people,” which uses the argument that American's successfully integrated in this way, is simply wrong. America has not really integrated, and the differences, culturally and racially, within America, will only grow, leading to future disharmony or even civil war. Why? Because human nature in its most core behavior is very much oriented toward family, ethnic group, and localism, as sociobiology has been affirming, and as conservatives have said all along. The fact that we may be in a “post-Caucasian” world soon, and that this will lead to a “power sharing agreement” between, for example, European-Americans and non-Caucasians, is just plain utopian. Nations and cultures are developed based on the traits and habits of the founders of the nations, and when the founders change, the nation and culture changes. The post-Caucasian world may not want to affirm the international trade order and it may not even be bio-culturally oriented to do so. If anything, overt or covert civil war seems more likely.

What we require and what we think the world requires, is an affirmation, or reaffirmation, of real human nature and the biological origin of social behavior acknowledging that human beings are bio-culturally oriented toward family, ethnic group, and locality, and, yes, humans are religiously driven. When real human nature is suppressed rather than bonded and affirmed, all hell breaks loose. America and the world needs to be rid of the various versions of imperialism, whether financial, religious or racial imperialism. A United States of truly independent states, or ethnostates, and a Europe and Asia of thousands of ethnostates, defensively federated, and concerned with true human nature, and future evolution, is the future that we require, and the future that will inevitably develop, since ethnostates affirm true human nature and the biological origin of social behavior in accord with evolution and the natural world.

Bringing the prepolitical view of human nature and the biological origin of social behavior to bear on political philosophy

Assuming some techno Big Brother totalitarianism can be prevented I think the years of work done in the evolutionary sciences founded by Darwin, such as the science of sociobiology, will bring the prepolitical view of human nature and the biological origin of social behavior to bear on political philosophy---it cannot be escaped although it can be buried.

The metaphysical abstractions of political philosophy have obscured the natural view of human nature. The evolutionary sciences have slowly defined human nature as being 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. This largely harmonizes with traditional conservatism, accept when it comes to human nature being biologically kin-centered and ethnic-centered, even xenophobic---and there's the rub.

Human life is a concentric circle of individuals, kin, ethnic group, region, state, nation, world, universe, Godhood---this is how a natural subsidiary can harmonize with the natural sequence of the genetically-derived altruistic priorities of real human nature. 

When political philosophy (and religion) synchronize with this sequence then we can have nations with federal systems protecting the variety and independence of decentralized regions and states or ethnostates, perhaps aided by objective international sociobiological research centers, as once described by the courageous Raymond Cattell.

I think people will eventually see that ethnic/racial diversity within the same state is a living social problem that won't go away. Although now just rising, identity politics will continue to ascend, that is, identifying with ethnicity, nationality, race, culture and faith. Ethnostates and an ethnopluralism of ethnostates are the future, presuming that techno Big Brother totalitarianism can be overcome.

Tirips and the sacred process of evolution

As long as we are alive every cell in our body is activated to demand life and survival and reproductive success. This natural activation can be blocked, subverted, or it can be unknown to us, but it can't legitimately be intellectually or instinctively denied. This activation seems to reign within material life before form develops, but it is not a spiritual force it is entirely material. It is the “The Force That Through the Green Fuse Drives the Flower”as Dylan Thomas poetically put it, and until science takes it up it will often be described poetically. I call this sacred material activation Tirips.

Scientist Francis Heylighen wrote, “ ...it is assumed that evolution is largely unpredictable and contingent on a host of uncontrollable factors, which may steer its course in any of an infinite number of directions. However, it is noted that directions in which complexity increases are generally preferred...Though fitness is relative to the environment, it has two components that can increase in an absolute sense, internal fitness (strength of linkages between components) and number of environmental perturbations that can be counteracted. Increases in these two components tend to be accompanied by respective increases in structural and functional complexity...Still, it can happen that systems evolve towards a simpler organization, although this seems rare. It is most likely to occur when the system enters a simpler environment, as when an organism becomes an internal parasite or moves back from the land to the water, but these are obviously unusual examples which go against the general trend of environments becoming more complex. The net effect will tend to be that the new ecosystem, formed by environment together with the newly added system (parasite, cave fish, aquatic mammal, etc.) will become more complex than it was before the appearance of the simplified system..."

The goal of evolving to Godhood need not deprive us of either science or religion. Defining life as evolving toward higher and higher forms and eventually to Godhood, and shaped by natural outside evolution, may be a bit further than some men want to go, but we go there. I see evolution moving 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,”as Cattell put it.

I see the universe as having an endless number of worlds moving and always evolving, with “life” evolving in some worlds, and perhaps with a few worlds evolving material life to the highest ascending supermaterial levels of life, called Godhood. The origin of sacredness and the origin of deep religion come from trying to understand this process of numberless material worlds always evolving toward supermaterial Godhood, and from seeking to understand how life can become best synchronized with this sacred process of evolution, and how we can help it along.

With the sacred material activation of Tirips working along with the process of evolution and natural selection we can indeed immanentize the eschaton, attain Godhood directly within nature and evolution.

Evolution is also teleological and theological (from the archive)

"The Romantic conception of the transformation and morphogenesis of molecules, plants, and animals, was already fully evolutionary. Schelling spoke of evolution of plants and animals out of the earth by way of a chemical process (see, e.g., p. 168, The Romantic Conception of Life by Robert Richards). Goethe and Coleridge agreed...The reason Darwin is supposed to have discovered the “real” evolution is that his version is a-teleological, based on a conception of nature driven exclusively by efficient causes, while the Romantic theory of evolution is not only teleological, but theological. It breaks the rules of scientific explanation by attributing animation/agency to that which it theorizes. Modern science takes it as a matter of course that nature is without intelligence or intrinsic value...” (“Footnotes to Plato”)

The romantic Naturphilosophen of Goethe, Coleridge and Schelling conceived of nature as a creative archetypal process of generation. They thought “Nature is God and God is Nature” which is not the same Godhood as defined in theological materialism. Theological materialism attributes an inward material agency activating life (Tirips) to continually evolve toward ascending levels of material/supermaterial Godhood, while working along with natural selection and evolution, and this is considered a rational not irrational process which science will one day acknowledge.

Future religion depends on changing the scientific taboo that evolving life has no teleological or theological goal. Evolution also 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. True religion and science become an aid in that sacred goal.

It will take a little courage to first see and admit real human nature but then even more courage to begin to proclaim it publicly

Finding the truth probably has more to do with having the courage to admit the truth to yourself than having high intelligence, although it may take even more courage to speak the truth publicly, especially if you can lose your livelihood and even your family if you speak or write politically incorrect things, that is, if you do not use language or behavior that does not proclaim cultural Marxism. A lack of courage of intellectuals, writers, and artists today has caused both their ignorance and cowardliness.

Heroic philosophers, writers, and artists on the right or the left don't exist today or are rare and on the fringes of society. What is missing is a true and real definition of human nature, and that is missing because real and true human nature is biologically kin and ethnic centered and even genetically ethnocentric, which does not conform to the cultural Marxism that has marched through our schools and the media since the 1960's.

The schools and the Media have transformed students and citizens into identifying with a rootless universal “humanity” replacing the way American's naturally identified with their own ancestors and traditions and their own genetic ethnic/racial roots. Real human nature is ethnocentric, not with one group overall superior or inferior but with different talents, never equal, because for many thousands of years right up to our present time group selection, or ethnic altruism, was the best way to be successful in survival and reproduction. 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.

But can we expect our philosophers, writers, and artists to admit the truth about human nature if they may lose their livelihood and even their families if they do? Each person will answer that as they can. The most humane way out of our deepening identity crisis would define a true natural rights or civil rights movement as promoting 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.

An ethnopluralism of ethnostates won't be perfect, but it's the best we can do

Note for the day after tomorrow: we could expand the Tenth Amendment and Constitutional separation of powers and states and give states or regions the right to become ethnostates. The Founding Fathers believed that nullification was the "moderate middle ground," and not the road to secession---a state can void federal laws.

We could adapt our Constitutional separation of powers and states to deeper sociobiological knowledge of human nature and give states and regions the right to become ethnostates. In reality 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.

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

With an ethnopluralism of ethnostates we could be culturally and politically healthy and ready for the coming centuries. Europe could do the same, and Russia and China too, otherwise we will have constant internal strife between naturally competing ethnic groups added to the usual external problems between countries. It won't be perfect but it's the best we can do.

Meanwhile until a true natural rights movement appears the politics of law and order is a winner for Trump

The politics of law and order is a winner for President Trump, blue collar whites approve of it, but so do many suburban moms. Trump wins with people who don't have PhD's, and he wins with people who don't have money in the stock market, but he also wins with many people who do have money in the stock market. And many people approve of Trump's condemnation of suicidal urban liberalism.

Both liberals and conservatives leave out the crime rates for fear of being labeled a racist. The racial aspect of crime shows that the black rate of violent crime is twelve times the white rate (The Color of Crime, Jared Taylor) Both liberals and conservatives can't see the natural will to black racial power, not equality, behind the now rioting Black Lives Matter movement, and people don't see 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 social discord in the process.

Trump won't solve the racial problems that come from real human nature which remains kin and ethnic centered. A true natural rights or civil rights movement would promote ethnostates for all groups, black, white, brown yellow, or red. Future politics may do just that by creating an ethnopluralism of ethnostates legally in the U. S. from our constitutional separation of powers and states. Meanwhile until a true natural rights movement appears the politics of law and order is a winner for Trump.

Being true to nature in art and religion (from the archive)

Being true to nature in art? How about also applying this realism to psychology, philosophy, politics? We need to unblock real human nature and stop the cultural monstrosities that have little connection to human nature. Examining nature, as the great field of sociobiology has examined human nature, applies to all fields. Science is connected to realism in art in this way. Religion also requires a more realistic view of nature and human nature.

I don't go on to add super-realism to realism but I do add “evolutionary” realism. We are evolving and not  standing still merely portraying or defining life in detail, which is why realism alone does not suffice. Evolutionary realism is included in religion with the evolution of life to Godhood. Nature is sacred, it is through real nature that we evolve to ascending levels of Godhood, which describes supermaterialism.
