In trying to define conservatism George Will said we should ask the question: what do you seek to conserve? He says that the proper answer is: “We seek to conserve the American founding.”
And there we have the big problem with the typical conservative philosophy. The real and true answer to the question: what do you seek to conserve is? We seek to conserve ethnic and racial groups and the individuals citizens of the groups, who then create the culture of the groups. The biological origin of social behavior make this true and real.
Sociobiology brings forward what I call “evolutionary conservatism,” after the understanding of our biological human nature was drummed out of the conservative movement by William Buckley and others. That left the conservative movement handicapped and missing the deepest view of natural rights and the richest design of nature.
It turns out that conservatism as defined by sociobiology can be perhaps the best way to survive and reproduce successfully over the long term, but conservative's have a big problem with the materialist foundation of science, so few conservatives seriously apply sociobiology in defense of conservative principles.
Evolutionary conservatism can add to and deepen basic paleoconservatism. To put it in modern terms, biology is the hardware and culture is the software. 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 followed by individual selection. Alas, like the liberals and neoconservatives the paleoconservative's tend to block or conceal the ethnic-centered and xenophobic parts of human nature due it seems to universalist religious edicts.
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 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 materially evolving toward supermaterial Godhood.
