History as the narrative of progress

A big philosophical and religious divide today is between those who see history as the narrative of progress (Hegel, Cattell? Wilber?) and those say the world lacks teleological design and purpose in the material world ( Schopenhauer, early Nietzsche, Postmodernism, Science?).

The hopeless relativity of values that is promoted by modern philosophy is untrue and unreal. There exists a biological teleology, a design and purpose in the material world, flowing through all life, which offers freedom but within a determined biological teleology.

I ask why does “life” “live?” Why is life animate rather than inanimate? Why does life have metabolism, growth, reproduction? Why doesn’t life just sit there doing nothing? Why has life persisted time and again in evolving from the simple to the complex under the most extreme conditions?

It is more than an outward action or reaction, there is an inward vitalism working within and shaped by outside evolution. This is the activation of the will to life, and when it is amplified it is seen as the will-to-evolve-toward-Godhood. I think it was Cattell who said 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.

This process of evolution is activated from 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. And this activation is a material/supermaterial activation, but not spiritual.

The goal of evolving to Godhood need not deprive us of either science or religion. When Godhood is seen as a naturalistic and theological goal, the goal of evolution, then biology and theology need not settle for empty spiritualism. Nature and philosophy can be seen as life materially evolving toward ascending levels of Godhood.

The fall of Afghanistan to the uber-territorial warrior Taliban at the hands of the nurturing girly men of the Biden administration

 The Biden administration is stuffed with super angry, leftist feminists, like Biden advisor Susan Rice, who probably scares the hell out of weak-minded Biden himself, as well as dominating the girly men of the Biden administration, like Antony Blinken, our 71st United States secretary of state.

This is what happens to empires that are infected with leftists gender politics and with social behavior that does not correspond to real human nature, which is is genetically gender defined, age-graded, heterosexual, marriage-making, hierarchical, and religious-making, as well as being biologically kin-centered and ethnic-centered, even xenophobic, with group-selection and ethnic selection as the primary unit of successful selection followed by individual selection.

The fall of Afghanistan to the uber-territorial warrior Taliban at the hands of the nurturing girly men of the Biden administration encapsulates in miniature the features of the fall of empires.

The best way to avoid human stagnation and immobility

Ethnocentric ethnostates are the default political position, or the selection made usually automatically or without active consideration, due to real human nature, which and has always been genetically kin and ethnic centered. Aristocracy is also society’s default position, as F. H. Buckley wrote about (“For a Politics of Mobility” Modern Age, Summer 2020). “...it is mobility that’s unnatural, a brief interlude in a long history...Charles Murray attributes the rise of aristocracy to the move to an information economy in which premium wages are paid to high-IQ workers. Intelligence is largely heritable... Capitalism tends inexorably toward immobility, he argued, because of capital’s tendency to grow more quickly than the economy as a whole. To those who have, more is given; and great fortunes accumulate over time.”

I believe ethnostates and meritocracies are the best way to deal with these default political positions to avoid human stagnation and immobility. 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.

As to aristocracies, ascetics and others put up a Great Spiritual Blockade against the evolving material world, which actually blocks the real path to Godhood of material evolution. The natural world has to be unblocked if we are to reach ascending levels of Godhood by way of material evolution.

Theological materialism defines human evolution toward Godhood as aesthetically evolving toward the beautiful, religiously the good, and philosophically and scientifically the true

The synthesis of theological materialism defines human evolution toward Godhood as aesthetically evolving toward the beautiful, religiously the good, and philosophically and scientifically the true.

Nature can be defined as divine, not demonic, without the fiction of spirituality when we can see that nature only looks like an endless war of all against all for success in survival and reproduction and nothing more, until we affirm that we are also aided in evolution by an inward, purely physical activation to materially evolve toward ascending levels of life all the way to Godhood, which works along with the shaping of outside evolution and selection. “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.” (Cattell)

Materially evolving toward ascending levels of Godhood is how we can define nature as divine not demonic and how we can see beyond the idea of morality in nature having no other demonstrable ultimate function than, as Edward O. Wilson put it, being a circuitous technique by which human genetic material has been and will be kept intact. We are materially evolving toward Gods and we should help it along the way. Qualities such as intelligence, emotional stability, conscience (altruism), good health, good sensory organs, longevity, these are some of the aims of eugenics, and these things reach their highest quality, or their zenith, as evolution moves toward Godhood, which is aesthetically the beautiful, religiously the good, and philosophically and scientifically the true.

All races are “systemically racist”

All races are “systemically racist” when human behavior is seen from the realistic biological origin of social behavior. The Black Lives Matter movement which has been loudly accusing all whites of being racist is driven by the very same systemic black racism, and we are not going to solve any racial problems until we admit this.

The biological origin of social behavior which was introduced with Darwin and later sociobiology showed us that real human nature is and has always been genetically kin and ethnic centered (ie. racist and ethnocentric) with group selection or ethnic selection as the main unit of successful survival and reproduction, followed by individual selection. America has not successfully united different races and ethnic groups, we are naturally fragmenting into a nation of competing races in a zero game where the gains of one ethnic group is offset by the losses of another ethnic group, with much cruel social discord in the process. But all is not lost.

As one historian put it, what formerly divided us can put us back together again. It would be far more realistic to talk of un-assimilating differences rather than about superiority/inferiority. 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.

Western political philosophy has wrongly placed the individual as the most basic metaphysical and political unit

Western political philosophy has wrongly placed the individual as the most basic metaphysical and political unit, and now its coming back to bite us. The neo-Darwinist science of sociobiology was not around when the great political philosophers did their thinking.

Here are some quotes from sociobiologists:

"Within groups, selfish individuals beat altruistic individuals, but groups of altruists beat groups of selfish individuals." (David Sloan Wilson)

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

"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

As I repeat here often: Human nature evolved to prefer kin and ethnic group because those traits were more successful in survival and reproduction for individuals and groups. Even altruism, being for others, was created as the preference for kin and ethnic group; altruism weakens as we move out toward universalism, which is the main reason why communism, socialism, and globalism don't work well.

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 followed by individual selection. Alas, like the liberals and neoconservatives even the paleoconservatives block or conceal the ethnic-centered and xenophobic parts of human nature.

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.

Conservatism without biology is the doom of today's conservatism

Conservatism without biology is the doom of today's conservatism, as seen in Ross Douthat book “The Decadent Society: How We Became Victims of Our Own Success.” Douthat's answer to the decadence which has taken over the West is to suggest “a potentially flourishing Christian African continent migrating north to the older seat of Christendom, reminiscent of Evelyn Waugh’s short story “Out of Depth,” in which a future dystopian England is served and saved by African missionaries.” (John M. DeJak, Chronicles, Aug 2020)

Conservatism without biology seems to have been caused by a combination of intellectual and moral cowardliness more than by ignorance; even mentioning the biological origin of social behavior in today's decadent “woke” world means almost certain professorial and social death. But in ignoring the biological origin of social behavior the West is dying and that is more important than the plight of any individual.

Human nature evolved to prefer kin and ethnic group because those traits were more successful in survival and reproduction for individuals and groups. Even altruism, being for others, was created as the preference for kin and ethnic group; altruism weakens as we move out toward universalism, which is the main reason why communism, socialism, and globalism don't work well and tend to use force to impose an unnatural universal altruism.

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. Alas, like the liberals and neoconservatives even the paleoconservatives 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 a defensive federalism. An ethnopluralism of ethnostates could be established legally in the United States with our constitutional separation of powers and states. Will we ever do it? Can we do it?
