Future evolution (from the archive)

 Obviously the future evolution of life and specifically human life is a complicated synthesis of human nature, the environment, and the biological origin of social behavior, but first we have to survive, and surviving depends on correctly defining real human nature so we can know which social structures will work best with human nature, that is, which social structures will lead to survival and reproductive success for distinctly different ethnic groups and races now competing on earth.

Raymond Cattell remarked that we seem genetically unadapted to large altruistic societies, yet man has a natural tendency toward tenderness and protectiveness and altruism toward kith and kin. This is one of the biological pillars of the political argument for localism and small ethnostates over large multicultural states: localism and regionalism are the most natural way to hold civilization together with natural altruistic group behavior, and better keep us from the selfish anti-social behavior which happens in large groups.

The latest fashion of machine technology seems to proceed in direct proportion to the devaluation of human biological evolution. I am not against technology but the evolution of biological man needs to be valued higher than the evolution of machines. Technology is only an aid in the evolution of life, even if the restrictions of political correctness (cultural Marxism) make it difficult to say so. Life and evolution need defending. The Great Spiritual Blockade to real Godhood needs to be unblocked.

There is something fishy about “singularity” or machines evolving to be as intelligent as humans. It makes it look like humanity is too scared to advance intelligent humans and beyond, rather than (or as well as) advancing machines. It seems like a cunning bypass of the subject of future genetics because it is a politically incorrect subject and doesn't fit various agendas. We have to get over the abuse of genetics and eugenics of World War II, truly healthy people don't dwell on such negative things as a way of life.

We can use technology to help advance humans, but to become machines and possibly therefore lose future human evolution sounds a bit sick. We seem to be allowing deceitful nerds with media power to determine our future. Let's have a little courage and begin to at least talk about the great evolution of real life toward Godhood, only aided by intelligent machines. It's actually a religious mission.

The future superstructure of genetics and bio-engineering need to rest on the evolutionary base of biology, and not become a new artificial structure without a natural base, arrogantly overlooking the biological origin of social behavior. We can enhance our genetic and biological capabilities endlessly as we evolve toward Godhood, but if we upload ourselves into silicone chips we could end natural evolutionary life, which is a diabolical end.

There seems to be something almost paranoid about those who see racism behind any talk of the improvement of hereditary qualities, which is taken to the point of preferring artificial evolution to biological evolution. A very cynical reading could also see those who wish to stop the evolutionary biological improvement of hereditary qualities as an underhanded way to enhance their own genes, consciously or unconsciously, by stopping the advancement of others.

Ethics can be inferred from evolutionary history (what else?) otherwise we attempt to go beyond nature itself. As Cattell said, this does not mean we will not move beyond the human species---ethnocentrism, for example, is a conservative stopping off place to secure beneficial mutations before moving on to the next stage, the next pause, the next species.

Is there a direction to evolution? The evolutionary process has shown a direction toward higher, more complex, more intelligent, more conscious forms, in spite of occasional backward going and stagnation. Evolution gives us hints of direction so we may aid evolution in the direction it is going, applying the sciences of sociobiology and genetics.

Cattell's “ Beyondism" seems to suggest that progress is blind, and he thought we can therefore only speak of “going beyond” what we are. I believe that life and evolution show a religious goal of attaining the supreme survival success of ascending levels of Godhood by way of evolving in the material and supermaterial world, activated from within, and shaped by by natural selection and evolution from without.

 

This means ascending levels of Godhood from man to superman to supermaterial Gods and not a transcendence from material life to non-material ''spiritual" life.

We can learn to prevent the decline and early death of a variety of people, ethnic groups, and societies by understanding the social and biological patterns that bring collapse, and by applying voluntary population control and genetics. We can help prevent negative ends, but we can also civilize the beast and seek positive ends, even as we recognize that competition, separation, and distinctiveness are a good thing on the evolutionary path to Godhood.
