Like their followers, Trump and Hillary simply do not understand one another
I think the generational divide between
a 70 year old man who went to military school and then to business
school, and those who have been indoctrinated in politically correct
cultural Marxism in college has been underestimated, they simply do
not understand each another. Think of the smart-ass college sophomore
and uncle Pete trying to communicate at the family picnic. This also
explains why Trump appeals to non-college educated populists who,
like Trump, are not foolish enough to buy the lies of the corrupt Big
Media.
I think “the people” would vote for
Trump even if he said he was against the equal rights amendment,
against affirmative action, against feminism, or even against giving
the the vote to women. But that might allow Hillary to win. The question is
will there be enough Trump voters who have given up on voting because
they believe the corruption is too deep to change? We can't believe
the biased polls that's for sure.
Even if Trump is somehow elected
president will he be able to overcome the power of Global Business
and the Big Media? Perhaps conservatives will have to live with
merely going in the right direction---that essentially defines
conservatism anyway.

Religious and scientific opposites come together
Is “perspective” only artificially
calculated and not really important? So say the postmodernists,
influenced by Nietzsche. Perspective can be biased by disordered
human psychology or by culture. It is not easy to see real nature and
human nature, although it would be easier without such distortions as
cultural Marxism.
When real human nature is the codified
perspective than we tend to get traditional culture. The real
“alienation” comes from being blocked by the drugged cloud of
such things as postmodernism, and not from traditional culture. The
traditional perspective relates to real human nature, where kin and
group are affirmed over the individual, although there is individual
selection within groups. And this is not the same as the traditionalist school where all things material are considered illusions.
A real religious and philosophical perspective does not come from only rationally standing above or from only emotional seeing from within, it comes from the Twofold Path combining the inward and outward paths, where intuition and peripheral vision are included with reason. Religious and scientific opposites come together, disjunctions converge, and there is no real duality between the spiritual and material, all things including Godhood are material or supermaterial.
We are living and selecting ourselves
and our groups as we all evolve in the material and supermaterial
world toward Godhood, with many starts and stops and lies and truths
along the way. It is basically an ordered evolution where the goal is
largely determined but the path is more free and naturally selected, like E. O. Wilson's
boulder rolling down a mountain. This is the perspective of theological materialism.

Change and unchange in the alt. right
The tension between ethnic groups in
democracies has been vastly underestimated, it is even a taboo
subject mainly due to mistaken notions of human nature which say
that we are all the same. The alt. right has had the courage to speak
of these virtually irreconcilable differences and so they have been
ridden out of the conservative movement where they rightly belong.
Evolutionary realism defines human
nature as it is, kin-centered and group-centered, and even xenophobic,
but this does not intrude on real conservatism, it transforms
conservatism, as evolution transforms nature. Radicals and
conservatives usually take only one side of the change/unchange
dynamic, when both are needed.
St Thomas Aquinas could be understood
as having saved Christian philosophy by synthesizing Aristotle's pagan
Greek philosophy into Christianity. Evolutionary sociobiology needs
to do the same to save Christianity now. Theological materialism is attempting to do this,
transforming the Inward God of traditional religion into the Outward
God reached through material evolution, while retaining the Inward
Path in the Twofold Path.
The Traditionalist School is digging in
their heels and rejecting not only change but virtually rejecting
science, yet many in the alt. right have embraced Aleksandr Dugin
(who hates the West) and his retooling of Rene Guenon and Julius Evola, and
therefore the alt. right is accepting only the unchange side of the change/unchange dynamic. Talking about long-term cycles that are
unchanging is affirming unchange. Godhood is reached by the vehicle
of evolution in the material world which the traditionalist school essentially
rejects,
The alt.
right has over-concentrated on whites since whites have been
overwhelmed by liberal social programs, but the moral high ground goes to
promoting an ethnopluralism of ethnostates where all distinct ethnic
groups have their own ethnostates protected by federalism. This could be done legally by the constitutional separation of powers and states, and maybe a few amendments to the Constitution.

Great art is the affirmation of the sacred
Beauty and form above subject matter?
That idea is part of the perversion of art for artists, not for the
public---if you can call them artists. Poetry has done the same thing
in being written for other poets---although black rap does reach the
public as obscene nursery rhymes (if you compare rap to Shakespeare
you are a fool.) It is all empty ideology, like modern liberal
politics, feminism, transgenderism, etc etc etc, with no basis in the
biological reality of human nature. Great art was formed around the
affirmation of sacred religion, and religion is not present in art
today, nothing is present in art today, other than the ridiculous.
Here is a simple phrase: great art is the affirmation of the sacred.
Great art has a constant sacred theme but an ever-changing character.
The sacred may not be portrayed exactly the same for all people but
that is what the separation of powers, states and people is all
about. The sacred remains. My sacred art points toward evolutionary
realism because life is evolving toward sacred material/supermaterial
Godhood, and realism best affirms this for the group.
Modern critics have the perverted
personalities to define classical Greek art as simply “racist”
or “xenophobic.” Why aren't such critics thrown out of
journalism? It's the same old corrupt, nefarious, and highly
destructive Big Media, which needs to be understood as helping to destroy Western culture, not create it. They have to be held accountable
if we are ever to have great art again.

Social problems from unreal abstractions
Conservative Christians define such
modern liberal mistakes as sexual freedom and gender sameness as
negative and unreal abstractions, but then they go on to affirm the
even bigger abstraction of spirituality claiming that
abstraction can make us all love one another. It has not worked. The
latest street disruptions between black and white seem even more full
of hatred than the “love-ins “ of the 1960's which nearly tore
our country apart.
Real respect for others needs to take
into account what human nature actually is. Human beings remain kin
centered and group or ethnic centered and real respect comes from
allowing distinct people to live and worship in their own distinct
ways, and not jammed together in the same abstract multicultural
space. This logically and emotionally suggests an ethnopluralism of
ethnostates, well protected by a federalism limiting
itself to that protection.
We could actually do this legally due
to the constitutional separation of powers and states, even if a few
amendments to the Constitution are necessary. It is certainly worth
the effort since the alternative seems to be increasing civil
disruptions, civil war and the fall of the West.
Worshiping together has not been enough
to bond and harmonize “multicultural” societies. Religious and
political problems always go back to abstractions and ideologies with
little or no basis in reality. But absurd as it sounds we can retain
bonds of religion, Godhood, and political philosophy without unreal
abstractions. The great spiritual blockade of
material life and material evolution was promoted mainly for the sake
of experiencing the inward God or the Father Within. That Inward Path can be retained but transformed in the Outward Path to the real Godhood reached through material evolution, grounded in the concrete reality of real nature, real human
nature, and real evolution, which requires variety, separation, and
differences, as we all evolve toward Godhood.

My hypothetical response to modern physics
"The field is the sole governing
agency of the particle."
Albert
Einstein
The day science begins to study
non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than
in all the previous centuries of its existence."
Nikola Tesla
There is
no such thing as “non-physical phenomena,” there are only the forces developed by physical
phenomena, all of which we might not yet be aware of.
I am a long way from being a physicist
but I am presumptuous enough to believe that the “forces” Max
Planck, Einstein and Tesla spoke of are all material. I think the physical forces
of matter, atoms, etc.---or some material force undefined--- leads to those forces, and then also controls the
forces.
Energy, frequency, and vibration in the
universe are not the secrets of the universe, it is matter,
discovered and undiscovered, which drives those forces.
Is not the field which governs
the particle created by the interaction of material forces? The field is not spiritual. In the same
way gravity or electric forces are not spiritual, they are brought
about by material objects.
Science has refused to see it but randomness to explain evolution is not
enough, at least not for me. Randomness seems inadequate to explain the development of form
and order, and the timeless movement from simplicity to complexity. I
see a material inward activation as a “force”and it is not a
non-physical force. In the same way the forces of energy which
vibrate the particles are a material force “activating”
material particles.
The only “duality” I see, which is
not really a duality, is
the Inward Dynamism of a material Spirit-Will or Will-Spirit
of life activating material life to evolve in the world toward Godhood, shaped by
endless sometimes random outside evolution. Perhaps that is the force physicists look for.

How Oneness Is Not Godhood
Does “likeness imply a oneness from
which all likeness descends” as David Middleton poetically put it?
(Modern Age, Summer 2016) If so, why does oneness suggest a highly
complicated and wise God rather than a basic primeval origin? If a
basic primeval origin is the reality, and I believe it is, then
“oneness” has been vastly hypertrophied into a God.
What is important about the beginning,
or beginnings, is the activation, the “force” that leads material
life to evolve. This force is not God, it seeks Godhood. And
this “force that through the green fuse drives the flower”
(Dylan Thomas) is not any more “spiritual” then the Godhood it
seeks to attain by activating and riding within the vehicle of
material life toward supermaterial Godhood.
I have called this force the
Will-Spirit or Spirit-Will mainly for the sake of continuity with the
old idea of the Spirit or Soul. There is
more to evolution than the duality of genes and nature, or genes
telling the cells what to do within natural selection. That seems
inadequate to explain the development of form and order, and the
timeless movement from simplicity to complexity. Godhood is evolved
to in the material world with stops and starts along the way, in an
unending evolution.
Traditional religion sought the Inward God or Father Within which was a symbolic experience of the real Godhood reached through outward evolution. This is retained and defined in the Involutionary and Evolutionary Twofold Path of theological materialism.
A single beginning is part of that
fantasy of oneness mentioned above. “Eden” is not that basic,
primeval, unevolved, oneness. Eden is the zenith of material evolution
which continues endlessly, like the universe. The world is not
“fallen” from that basic primitive beginning, the world has
evolved from that primitive beginning. “Time” is not a finality
or a God, time is a technical measuring of endless evolution.
If there is something that could be
called “divine” in humans it is that activating force within
life, which is nevertheless not a God but is an imperfect “desire”
for real material/supermaterial Godhood, which seems to define “life”
in its evolving essence toward that sacred goal.

Beyond Gesamtkunstwerk
Can metaphor be more than two
differences linked? The total words that the German language is so
fond of, like "Gesamtkunstwerk" (artistic
creation that encompasses various arts), which Wagner and Nietzsche
tracked to Ancient Greece, find a deeper metaphor in theological
materialism, which combines two things thought impossible to link,
the spiritual and the material.
In the grand religious/philosophical
metaphor of theological materialism the spiritual is seen as
material or more precisely as the supermaterial, and arrived at
through material evolution. Traditional religion and much of
philosophy sees it the other way around, material things are
considered grand illusions of the real spiritual world. That is a
very deep “transvalution of values” which even Nietzsche seems to
have believed, as his will to power seems to be a non-material force.
Heidegger's Being also seems to be non-material and spiritual.
In private caves and public monasteries
the ascetics sought to block the material world and material desires
so as to experience the God Within, both Christ and Buddha strongly
promoted this Inward Path. And the “truth” most philosophers
sought was seen as a nonmaterial idea. But the Twofold Path of
theological materialism sees the God within as only the first glimpse
or experience---which is a blissful experience better than drugs---of
the real Godhood reached in various levels of the Outward Path of material evolution.
The Twofold Path does not reject traditional religion it retains and transforms
it.

What determines history's outcome and what does that mean politically?
The environment interacts with people
and ideas to change history, not unlike the nature/nurture pattern
where nature tends to be slightly more influential than nurture. But
modern liberals who are mainly cultural Marxists think that nature
can be left out of it and that human nature is completely malleable.
Historians work from these perspectives usually leaning in one
direction or another.
How human nature is defined becomes important in understanding the direction of history and
culture. Human nature remains today, among other mostly traditional
things, kin-centered, ethnocentric, even xenophobic, and with
group-selection as the primary unit of successful selection. This
suggest that real human nature works more smoothly with an
ethnopluralism of ethnostates, where nature and nurture can work most
harmoniously in determining history's outcome.
To me this means strong leaders and
their character traits, which includes their ideas, can make a big
difference in the direction of history. This also means that
ethno-demographics can change history. As the people change the
culture changes. Immigration can change a culture, and
multiculturalism can confuse and disrupt a nation,
whereas homogeneous ethnostates tend to work more harmoniously.
How long will these plain truths remain politically incorrect and taboo? I suppose as long as some people gain short-term power from lies.

The modern liberal principle of tolerance for almost everything has all but destroyed Western civilization
In theological materialism the laws of
nature and human nature coincide for the most part with the laws of
traditional religion. It may be blasphemous to some, but I believe
that the laws of nature come before and lead to or activate the laws
of traditional religion, and not the other way around.
This does not reject religion but it
puts religion in the right balance with the reality of nature and
human nature. We are not born with endless free choice to
discover what best seems to fit our interests. We have free choice
within a determined human nature. But human nature also largely
harmonizes with traditional morality. Human nature has a constant nature but an ever-changing character, to adapt what Colin Gray said of war.
Human nature remains mainly
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. I prefer the term “ordered evolution” to
“ordered liberty” because it is more in line with the reality of
human nature. We have choices within determined paths of evolution,
like a boulder rolling down a mountain, as E.O. Wilson once put it.
I think the U. S. constitutional
separation of powers and states is wisely in harmony with real human
nature. I also think real human nature naturally needs to be seen as
leading to ethnostates within an ethnopluralism---human nature
certainly does not point to one world with all varieties of unlike
people stuffed into one territory and told to all get along together.
But a series of Supreme Court decisions
now allows almost any perversion of human nature, people are legally
“free” to chose whatever sexuality, whatever odd version of
marriage, whatever political structure that fits their short-term fancy. No such freedom exists
within a largely determined human nature. The modern liberal
principle of tolerance for almost everything with perversions of real
human nature of every kind has all but destroyed Western
civilization.

Personally I hate the Big Media. Oh, oh, is that “'hate speech?”
Presidential candidates Donald Trump
and Hillary Clinton are flawed but it will be the Big Media that
decides the winners and losers, not their flaws, and that is way too
much power for the Media.
The Big Media now rules our culture. The little media, Twitter, talk
radio, even Fox News (which is neoliberal or neoconservative, not
conservative) are no match for the Big Media.
The Big Media have won the cultural war.
The swamp of modern liberalism and cultural Marxism, have eradicated
the traditional family and community normalcy and replaced it with
the love of the self, easy divorce, easy abortion, pornography, and
on and on.
What can be done about the Big Media?
“Nothing” you say? You make my point. Nevertheless, something has
to be done about the power of the Big Media before cultural health
can actually be restored.

The monstrous dream of turning all life into artificial life
Many transhumanists think that homo
sapiens will be replaced by artificial life. They are talking about the death of life. There has got to be
some catch here, maybe they don't want their own
death, they want to stop their competitors, then they can realize their Nerd dream of controlling artificial life and
the world!
But life and the evolution of life
won't go down that easily. We will develop artificial life but it
will be as an aid to the evolution of life
and an aid to our own evolution, and not merely the designing
of cyborgs and artificial “life.” In other words, life itself instinctively probably won't allow the monstrous dream of turning all life into artificial life.
Conservatism and Ethnopluralism
I believe human nature inevitably moves
in the direction of ethnopluralism, because human nature is
essentially kin and group or ethnic centered, in spite of political
ideologies that ignore this basic human nature. The reality of human
nature affirms traditional conservatism as ranking higher than
libertarian individualism.
The nefarious political correctness and
cultural Marxism that has captured our county will need to be
overcome, which is no small task, but the increasing diversity of the
demographics of the United States can actually help in moving
us toward ethnostates.
The transformation of regions and
states toward ethnostates and localism can happen without radical
revolution. This change will happen radically and with many social
disruptions if it does not happen legally and constitutionally.
This can happened in the United States
due to the constitutional separation of powers and states. Even if a
few amendments to the Constitution are necessary, revolution and
civil war need to be avoided. I would have the radical revolutionaries actually read Burke and Kirk who proved, at least to me, that revolutionary change to longtime
tradition based in real human nature does far more harm than good.
I consider myself a patriot, I love the Untied States, and I will defend it and its real traditions as we transform legally toward ethnopluralism, well protected by federalism.

Why Trump supporters are wiser than Hillary supporters
It is true that a high IQ is required
for doing graduate school research, but is intelligence defined only
as the “capacity for abstraction?” When we test for IQ we also
need to test for character and honesty, otherwise we get the Hillary supporters
who include the brilliant monsters from the Ivy League Schools who
have been destroying the Western world.
Trump supporters seem wiser than their
candidate who is figuring out what a conservative is as he
goes along---but at least he has courage. Trump supporters
instinctively understand the basis of conservatism and real life
without much abstract thinking about it: real human nature is
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.
And it is not only redneck dummies who
believe this, the highest IQ's in the academic world of sociobiology
affirm this view of human nature. Hillary and her brilliant monsters,
with their capacity for abstractions, do not understand this at all.
Trump supporters do. Who is biased, bigoted, and stupid in this reality?

The Big Media Shouts “Fire”
“Conservatives” like Joe
Scarborough have been calling for Donald Trump to “pivot” from
his more extreme positions, but when he did that with his immigration
position they attacked him for “flip flopping.” Trump can't win
with these people, but if even if he does manage to
win they will go after him until they destroy him.
Has the Big Media become a fifth column in the West out to destroy what remains of the West under the cover of “free speech?” Are they not shouting “fire” in a crowded theater? Isn't that against the law? Is it time to think about breaking up Big Media monopolies into smaller pieces with many more owners? Or are we too far gone to do that? Didn't this same thing happen before World War Two?

Why I really don't like Hillary Clinton
First of all this is a woman whose
mannerisms, speech and gestures are all phony. She is a bad B-movie
actress. Then there is her political philosophy which is both
culturally Marxist and
neoconservative, which are bogus philosophies based in abstract
ideas with no relationship to real human nature other than a greedy
will to power. She and her husband, who also lies as he smiles, have
transformed their Hippie leftist tendencies from the 60's into being
intimate friends with Wall Street and the bankers, while claiming not
to be. Then there is her feminism, which like all feminism (accept
maybe Camille Paglia's version), has no basis in real biological
human nature. And it is not gentlemanly to mention it but what does
it say about Hillary's character that even when running for
president! she doesn't have the personal discipline to lose the
weight which is damaging her health and her appearance?
And Hillary is predicted to win! How
messed up we are! Donald Trump is flawed but his instincts at least
seem healthier than Hillary's. The people are just fed up with all of them.

How the alt.right is more legitimately conservative than Republicans and conservatives
Republicans and conservatives now want
Donald Trump to purge the alt.right from his populist movement, but
the alt.right at least has the courage to speak of the biological origin of social behavior, and Republicans do not.
Conservative English professors (all
three of them) complain about the grammatical mistakes and fuzzy thinking of liberal
professors, but conservatives don't complain about the denial of the
biological origin of social behavior by the left, because
conservatives are guilty of the the same denial---and some of this, if
not all of it, is due to political correctness on the right.
Ignoring the biological origin of
social behavior does not make it go away, it only confuses and
complicates political discourse and offers at best temporary
political victories.
Blacks and modern liberals (and all of
the Big Media) say they will not support Trump because he is racist,
but then blacks, modern liberals, and the Big Media loudly and
continually promote blacks and other minorities by race, or by special racial preferences like "affirmative action," and they usually do so by attacking whites by race.
Just plain common sense yet alone real scholarship would see that real human nature is fundamentally kin and group-centered. Real human compassion, right and left, would allow states to be at least generally ethnostates, with the freedom to affirm the fundamental biological origin of social and cultural behavior. The U.S Constitution even more or less saw this in the separation of powers and states. Many of today's social disruptions would then go away.

Can we say replacing “grace” with “evolution” perfects nature?
Can we say replacing “grace” with “evolution” perfects nature? Almost. It is the
activation within life here called the Spirit-Will-To-Godhood---which
is material---that perfects evolution and nature, working along with natural evolutionary selection.
Theological materialism is based in continual
material evolution, which is never
really perfected since Godhood is an ongoing upward evolution that never
really ends, even if it sometimes begins again.
“Truth” is not an abstract idea or
mathematical figure, it is defined in living objects, and therefore
the highest truths are embodied in the highest evolution within the
material and supermaterial world.
The traditional Inward Path of the
Twofold Path can retain the old abstract idea, or symbolic
experience, of the inward God, which is transformed in the Outward
Path of material and supermaterial evolution to real Godhood.

Why neoconservatives are cunning, nasty, and even dangerous thinkers
Neoconservatives claim that we are a
“proposition nation.” But the neos build an abstract
superstructure with no foundation.
Chilton Williamson recently pointed out
that propositions are made by people, for example, it was the British
ethos which developed our Constitution. I would
emphasize that specific genes and environments are very much
reflected in the propositions people make.
Many neoconservatives tend to see a Nazi
behind every corner, but then they go on to consciously (or unconsciously?)
create propositions that advance those who create the proposition,
almost with another form of Nazism. This is why I find
neoconservatives from Leo Strauss and Alan Bloom, to the present
crowd at the “National Review” journal, cunning, nasty and even
dangerous thinkers.
Don't get me wrong, I am not criticizing the natural desire for survival and reproductive success which activates the behavior of group-selection, I am criticizing disguising and lying about it. If we were honest we would see the good sense in allowing separate states for distinctly different and competing ethnic groups, and protect that independence.
Unlike the neoconservatives, paleoconservatives like Mr. Williamson and Pat Buchanan are at least sort of signaling an ethnopluralism of ethnostates.
