A Lasting Foundation for Education

The decline of education requires more than going back to Western classical studies. It requires bringing sociobiology into the humanities. That is, "the scientific study of the biological aspects of social behavior in animals and humans,"(Oxford Dictionary). Math and languages are not the foundation of the sciences and humanities, sociobiology is.

We have developed intellectuals without wisdom, genius-impersonators, like white liberals trying to sing Black blues, or black blues singers impersonating white intellectuals. Colleges used to provide a blind selection process, now they select for equality in line with the prevailing cultural Marxism.

How does this end? Do we have to go back again to warriors and then work up from that stoic source? That happened with the ancient Greeks and Romans.

I know where I would like it to go:

First we ground the humanities in sociobiology.

This logically and instinctively leads to a real definition of human nature, which logically and instinctively leads to an ethnopluralism of evolving ethnostates.

Then we see that biology is evolving upward toward Godhood, with starts and stops along the way.

Then we help evolution along the way toward Godhood.

Then---if I may use a most political incorrect German word---we have Gesamtkunstwerk!

Not just a work of art that makes use of all art forms, but a religious/philosophical/scientific/artistic work combing all the fields.

Does that scare you or give you hope? It gives me hope. It's what I call a lasting foundation for education, for all groups.

Real Conservatism, Deep Conservatism

Real conservatism, deep conservatism, is simple but made difficult by complications and obfuscations often designed to fool the people. These complications happen not only with political schemes but also in the academic world where the forest of real life is rarely seen because everyone is specialized in individual trees. The same complications and obfuscations applies to the wizards of economics, and the effete aesthetes of modern art.

Big Government and Big Business have stolen America away from real conservatism. The task, the challenge, is to return things to local control. But not only that, we need to gradually develop regions and states as ethnostates and eventually have an ethnopluralism of ethnostates. The constitutional separation of powers and states can accommodate this life-saving and conservative reform. Then federalism can do what it was designed to do, protect the nation internally and externally.

This is the sociopolitical structure most in harmony with real human nature, which developed many thousands of years ago. We remain 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 selection. All this relates to real conservatism and not to modern liberalism. Culture and politics need to work in harmony with real human nature.

There is no good reason why we cannot begin the return and evolution of real America. Nothing radical, nothing complicated is necessary. But simple courage will be needed to establish, or reestablish, a real and deep conservatism. We need to vote for people and develop people who move in this simple direction. It's almost boring if it were not a big heroic task.

The Big Media goes where the money and power is and has no real fixed politics left or right

"The People" don't listen much to intellectuals, priests, or government spokesmen, the people listen to the Big Media which makes things simple and sensational for the people. But if the highly influential Big Media is liberal left---and it certainly is---then why are the people supporting Donald Trump?

If the Big Media had ignored Trump he would not be getting much of the support he is getting. The people watch and listen to the provocative and sensational actions of Trump reported by the Big Media, as the Big Media chases the advertising dollar which increases with more viewers. 

It is part of the congenital arrogance of the Big Media to believe that the Left will prevail in any case because the right are thought to be idiots.

In democracies as the people change the politics changes in the direction of the desires of the more numerous ethnic groups, immigration trends, and birth statistics. Demographic trends will not change human nature. But the Big Media will still greedily chase the dollar, whoever the population may be.

This suggest that the Big Media goes where the money and power is and has no real fixed politics left or right, which is probably why the Big Media is so despised and contemptible. One hopes that the greed that created the Big Media, which is a very powerful force in modern societies, will eventually destroy the Big Media.

We can recover from the hedonism, chaos and decline upon us

The Catholic tradition of subsidiarity works very well even as a secular way of defining all human authority moving outward from the hierarchy of first the family, then kin and ethnic group, to localism, state, region, and finally national and international power at the lowest end of power. This is the opposite of what unnatural modern life presents as authority.

We can applaud the attempt by great Cathodic philosophers of subsidiarity to include tradition in change, which works much the same as material evolution works in handing down and retaining what is essential, with change happening for the purpose of preserving not getting rid of tradition. The problem with this most wise and practical social scheme, which is in harmony with real ethnocentric human nature, is that it contrasts with the strict asceticism of Jesus Christ who rejected the world and all the desires of the world so as to pursue the God or Father Within. All the great religious founders promoted the same materialism-blocking asceticism for the same purpose.

First truths are upheld by the laws of nature and intellectual intuition---another way of saying this is by the synthesis of science and religion. In theological materialism the deepest source of authority comes from evolutionary nature activated by the material Spirit-Will-to-Godhood. This avoids the conflict between practical subsidiarity and the ascetic founders of religion. In the Twofold Path of theological materialism, the Inward Path of Christ is retained as the first glimpse or experience of the Godhood which is reached in the Outward Path of material evolution to supermaterial Godhood.

We can save the nearly destroyed Cathedral but we need to rebuild the foundation. This way we can renew tradition and religion while still changing and evolving toward real Godhood, and we can recover from the hedonism, chaos and decline upon us.

Voting for idiots and criminals selected by the New World Order Financial System

It might not be fair to say that half the country will vote for an idiot and half will vote for a criminal. It might be more accurate to say that Trump could change things at least in the direction of traditional conservatism, and Hillary will continue the same decline of cultural Marxism and political correctness.

This should make Americans angry or at least ashamed enough to do something about it. But what can they do but vote for the idiots and criminals selected by the New World Order Financial System who created this mess and these candidates in the first place?

I believe the New World Order Financial System will fall, eventually, and an ethnopluralism of ethnostates will rise to take their place. My position is that the changes need to take place legally and conservatively, because "men cannot improve a society by setting it to fire" (Russell Kirk). But anger and revenge may not let it happen that way.

I am not anti-Semitic or anti-Black, but I am also not anti-White

The next stage in civilizing the beast

In every human culture ever honestly studied, real human nature included kin-selection preferences, incest taboos, marriage, hierarchy, division of labor, gender differentiation, and localism, with ethnocentrism as the main unit of successful selection. If a culture proposes to not include these things, the culture does not last long and always returns to these things.

It is not ethnocentrism that is primitive, barbaric and uncivilized, unless you define real human nature as primitive, barbaric and uncivilized (and some do). The social problems come when one ethnocentric group calls another ethnocentric group "evil" because they are ethnocentric. Undoing this primitive and unsophisticated behavior, which seems unaffected by objective reasoning, is the next stage in civilizing the beast.

This naturally leads to an ethnopluralism of ethnostates and regions, which can be established legally in the United States due to our constitutional separation of powers and states. It may require a few constitutional amendments to give more power to the states. It will of course not be easy, but it is far preferable to radically destructive civil disruptions, or even civil war, which come naturally with increasing competition between ethnic groups within unworkable multi-ethnic societies.

Can Trump seriously trim the power of the Big Government/Big Business fascist fusion?

Control of the nation by a Big Government/Big Business fusion of power, activated mainly by Big Business lobbies, defines the New World Order Financial System which now rules the United States (and the West) with another form of fascism. That is, a centralized totalitarian government/business fusion controlling finance, industry, commerce, and culture in general, and practicing the censorship of opposition through various means, including very dirty tricks.

We can't take sides with either Big Business or Big Government, we need to seriously trim the power of both. "We" means "the people." The big problem here is the demographics of "the people" are changing (promoted by Big Government/Big Business) toward people or ethnic groups who benefit, at least in the short term, from the many handouts of our Big Government/Big Business fascism.

Can Trump seriously trim the power of the Big Government/Big Business fascist fusion, or will he merely arrange the chairs for another fusion of fascist power? And beyond that, will an ethnopluralism of ethnostates begin to be promoted within our constitutional separation of powers and states as the best means to create peace between naturally competing, and increasingly different ethnic groups?

Well, at least nothing makes us more alive than working against great odds toward a noble cause and a noble goal.

Who are the criminals, who are the morons?

The political elite, the New World Order Financial System, opened up our national borders to allow free immigration to change the demographics of the country for voting purposes, and to lower the cost of labor, while destroying the middle class. And the Big Media championed this great scam against the people.

The "educated classes" believed the lies and propaganda of the political elite and the Big Media, but the "uneducated" classes did not believe the lies and propaganda. Talk about a transvaluation of values! Who are the criminals, who are the morons?

The academic world is corrupted from kindergarten to graduate school. Will we have to start all over again to fix our educational system? We can probably retain the traditional Great Books of the Western world which existed before cultural Marxism corrupted and conquered our humanities departments.

Oddly it is the so-called educated elites who cannot listen to reason because they have corrupted reasoning itself with postmodern philosophy. "The people" now reason better than the elites...Well, the elites had better hope the people are reasonable in their revenge....Donald Trump with all his earthiness may be better than they deserve.

Humans really are the lying species rather than the wise species

Which liar do we prefer in the presidential race? Who lies less?

Lies are either meant to deceive others or are lies we tell to ourselves. Either way a good case could be made for calling humans the lying species rather than the wise species, or homo sapiens. Humans are very adept liars. Professorial actors are very good liars, as Marlon Brando once said.

One could reason that humans have survived because they are good liars and trickster. Elites have always been able to play more roles or tell more lies than non-elites who are often considered fools because they tell the truth, or are very bad liars, or can only play one dumb role.

Religions have been the means to bond groups together for more successful material survival and reproduction than groups that don't bond with religions. There exists a material will to power behind the "non-material" will-to-power-denying religions. The big lie of religion is the de-natured belief in a non-material God rather than a supermaterial Godhood. That is the big lie for which only theological materialism can save religion.

The lies go deep into religion, philosophy, politics. There are the lies against ethnocentrism promoted by ethnocentric groups. Lies against the military ethos promoted by groups that are protected by the military. Lies about universalism and equality promoted by fierce hierarchies. In philosophy the lie is the belief in abstractions over real objects.

Humans really are the lying species rather than the wise species.

"With whom does the left not sympathize, besides American citizens?"

The quote above (Aaron D. Wolf, "Chronicles" Nov. 2016) indicates a serious philosophical and political illness on the left. It really is difficult to believe that humans could be so suicidal and gullible, but the quote is true. How could such a transvaluation of healthy values be possible?

Other than a few paleoconservatives and ethnic realists the only citizens who have escaped this illness are poor dispossessed white citizens who were not included in the academic world, at least not beyond high school. They also somehow managed not to be brainwashed by the Big Media which is controlled by the left.

So the future health of the country now depends on the voting actions of poor dispossessed white citizens who have been left out of the culture of the country. Many of them don't bother to vote... Will they vote this time? Donald Trump at least says many of the words they want to hear, which is more than Hillary does.

The primary social force that cannot be mentioned

You can't explain social mobility only in terms of class, education or government regulations, social mobility needs to be examined in terms of IQ and personality differences, and yes, ethnic differences.

The ethnic identity and ethnocentrism of various elites should not be buried, it explains much about their behavior and the actions of politics and culture.

There is nothing wrong with ethnocentrism unless human nature is defined as wrong. What is wrong is a mono-ethnic or one-race ethnocentrism which blocks other ethnic groups from rising in the world---that is what is usually thought of as "racism."

The constitutional separations of powers and states which already exists, at least on paper, needs to add the natural separations of ethnic cultures, or an ethnopluralism of ethnostates, before we can be open about affirming real human nature and reach the moral high-ground.

Otherwise the civil disruptions we are increasingly seeing, due mainly to ethno/cultural competitions, will only increase and eventually erupt into civil war. 

Mentioning ethnocentrism is not defined as wrong because ethnocentrism is actually wrong, mentioning ethnocentrism it is considered wrong because it reveals truths about human social mobility and human sociobiology which the elites don't want revealed.

Let me map a framework for a manifesto of ethnopluralism

Like many intellectuals Karl Marx twisted the truth just a enough to fit his agenda: the history of existing societies is not the story of class struggles but is the story of ethnic struggles.

History does not move from feudalism to communism but moves from ethnic group to ethnic group applying whatever political philosophy they think best enhances their group.

Social forces relate to real human nature which remains today as it has always been, with group selection as the primary unit of successful survival and reproduction.

As large empires fall, feudalism, capitalism, communism, fascism, and globalism all yield back to an ethnopluralism of ethnostates.

Real materialism leads to theological materialism and not to the dialectical idealism of Hegel or the dialectic materialism of Marx.

Theological materialism does not lead to atheism or toward non-material idealism because natural material evolution moves toward supermaterial Godhood.

The simplest rules of evolution suggest that positive genetic and cultural mutations take place best in smaller ethnostates where separation gives positive mutations the best chance to appear and prosper.

Federalism can protect ethnostates from seriously quarreling among themselves, as all states evolve toward Godhood, perhaps helped along by objective international research centers.

Revolution is not necessary where a constitutional separation of powers and states exist, as in the United States, only a few amendments may be called for, and so legal conservatism remains viable.

Theological materialism and ethnopluralism are not more ideology manufacturing more non-material definitions and abstractions, this is real life, real human nature, and real evolution.

We have nothing to lose but philosophical and political flimflam and decline, and we have Godhood to gain.

Is it foolish to insist on human differences?

The power needs to be given back to the regions and states

Even asking the question in the title shows the stupidity of modern liberalism. We cannot let those who have brainwashed us destroy us.

If we are to have whatever peace and harmony is possible between discordantly different groups we require different territorial places for them to live. This is simple basic common sense.

Human nature remains as it has always been: 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 selection.

The Big Media and the academic world have been the most effective at brainwashing and indoctrinating the people by insisting that there are no human differences and we must all melt together and get along even when we do not melt together or get along. It is they who have to be stripped of their monopolies and their power. The same devolution applies to Globalism in general which also pushes the same lies as a means to exploit the world.

The power needs to be given back to the regions and states. Political structures need to again reflect a separation of powers and states transformed or upgraded toward being an ethnopluralism of ethnostates, which reflect real human nature.

If we cannot do this then there may soon be no America, no Western people, and no Western world.  If we cannot do this legally, which is the sane and moral way to do it, then a people pushed to the edge of extinction will find another Lenin or Hitler to try to save them---and the Big Media and the academic world wouldn't enjoy that development.

How far will the counterbalancing toward populism and nationalism go?

This movement has been happening all over the Western world. The corrupt Big Media, the democrats and the neocons, including the Republican Party, are very much against this realignment taking place.

If the populists and nationalists are snuffed out this election season does that mean its all over for America and the West? Will it mean the continuing corruption and decline of America, resembling the slow fall of the Roman Empire?

Or could there eventually be some kind of nationalist military/police coup, or a military coup to establish order on the side of the Democrats and neocons? Could it mean violent radical revolution followed by street gangs picking up the pieces, until some sort of totalitarianism, right or left, is established? Or would traditional small and highly protected ethnostates be rehabilitated like outposts in the chaos?

Who can we blame for this great social and political mess? I suppose it is the will to power of greedy and short-term thinking human beings...Is that not how it has always been?...Is there any room for optimism within this balancing and counterbalancing?

Conservatives like Russell Kirk have convinced me that "men cannot improve a society by setting it on fire: they must seek out its old virtues and bring them back into the light." Radical revolution is not advocated for this counterbalancing. What is advocated is the legal transformation of the constitutional separation of powers and states, which already exist, toward an ethnopluralism of ethnostates, finally in harmony with real human nature. In every human culture ever studied human nature has included, kin-selection preferences, localism, and above all ethnocentrism.

But the deepest reason for optimism is the activating will within life to evolve toward Godhood in the material and supermaterial world, which now and always has been stronger than any other drive in the cosmos. Evolving life survives.

The conservative change-process of utilizing democracy to attain an ethnopluralism of ethnostates

The process of utilizing democracy to attain an ethnopluralism of ethnostates is in line with real human nature---which remains ethnocentric---and is far better than radical revolution or civil war. This is not "using" democracy, it is conforming to the natural elements of human nature and change.

Modern liberal versions of equality, universalism, and multiculturalism came about through "using" democracy in a way that went directly against real human nature.

This does not call for a totalitarian democracy, this means bringing natural social structures back in line with the natural ethnocentric structure of human nature.

Real conservatism allows changes as the way to conserve the things that are changeless, such as the evolution of life in the material world toward Godhood.

Democratic republics can formally contain an ethnopluralism of ethnostates rather than the informal ethnic regions we have today. And the constitutional separation of powers and states, at least within America, can accommodate these changes, perhaps with only a few amendments.

Establishing or reestablishing a natural ethnopluralism of ethnostates can halt the steady degeneration of human life now taking place. This can also stop or control the war between ethnic groups, as well as stop or control the war between religion, science and political philosophy. And this can be done conservatively within democratic republics, without radical revolution, which do far more harm than good.

Releasing the Unconcealed (reblog from May 09, 2012)

If Heidegger was right that the Greek word for “truth” means “unconcealment,” then I suggest that truth as a material or supermaterial object is released from the concealment of nonmaterial, traditional metaphysics, and mathematics.

Beauty is truth and truth is good, and the zenith of truth and goodness is the Supreme Object or Objects of Godhood, evolved to in the natural, material and supermaterial world. There need be no conflict between art, philosophy, science and religion in this ideal.  That is unconcealment.

Language barriers were not overcome in the debate last night

Antonio Gramsci's long march through the institutions in America established the new language of cultural Marxism (political correctness) in our colleges and universities, and Hillary became fluid in this language, along with her followers. Donald and his followers are not fluid in this language. Trump speaks more the language of business, Hillary does not. Trump has been learning the language of paleoconservatism but he is not yet as fluent in this language as Pat Buchanan---although Donald seems to be a quick learner. Hillary has no understanding at all of the language of paleoconservatism, although she can speak neoconservatism quite well. And these language barriers were not overcome in the debate last night.

How can we have a useful debate between candidates who speak two different languages? Maybe there should have been an interpreter at the debate who understands both languages? But that is easier said than done because we have mostly biased interpreters of these languages. There is a deep cultural divide between these candidates, their followers, and the language they speak, which will not improve, whoever wins. The Big Media speaks the language of political correctness and supports Hillary, the Little Media is not fluid in that language and supports Trump. Donald may pause the decline of America a bit so that other real solutions can rise (see the ethnopluralism hypothesis). Hillary will speed up the decline...These are the choices we have.

Some thoughts on genius

I've always mistrusted complexity as being unfinished work. Academics seem unable not be labyrinthine, and they often seem to miss the kind of human empathy required to communicate clearly. But mostly they miss the almost blind courage of real genius.

Raymond Cattell spent a career developing and affirming psychometrics as the way, for example, to find good research talent, which took a lot of courage in a world where equality is God. But real genius often falls through the cracks.

Nietzsche was originally an academic golden boy, and that should have kept him solidly in the academic world, but he fell through the cracks due to the odd quirks and personal idiosyncrasies which are so hard to predict in a genius. Overcompensation, a big chip on his shoulder, a fierce will to power (a simple idea enlarged in his philosophy), and high intelligence, probably made Nietzsche one of the most intellectually courageous humans who ever lived, even if he became too radical.

In writing about music, James Tate said that the usual sign that something is dead is when it becomes academic. The best academics, like, say, Edward O. Wilson, have rare courage. For example, he eventually changed his mind about the dominance of individualism and kin-selection over group-selection, knowing he would be called a racist for saying it, which remains the kiss of death.

I really would tell Martin Heidegger to courageously put his philosophy on one index card. That is a reductive risk to the truth, but complexity, or over-complexity, is more of a risk to the truth than reduction.

Is the future foreseeable?

Yes the future is foreseeable if we include real human nature in the prediction, many conservatives and most modern liberals do not. This is why both parties now look much the same in advocating globalism, open borders, and equality, which have little connection to real human nature.

What works for kin and ethnic groups does not work beyond them. Altruism, the behavior that benefits another supposedly at ones own expense, really advances those who are genetically related to the altruist, with the world far down on the preference list.

Religion attempted to expand this natural altruism beyond kin and ethnic group by denying real human nature and hypertrophying altruism to include the whole world, which did not work in stopping wars or halting group competition because it denied or covered up real human nature. Nietzsche thought this was the will to power of the priests.

This does not mean an end to traditional religion but it does mean a transformation of religion, as seen in theological materialism. And this does not mean an end to the constitutional separation of powers and states but does mean a transformation, as seen in an ethnopluralism of ethnostates.

If we look for social and political structures which harmonize with real altruism and real human nature then an ethnopluralism of ethnostates rises to reality. Empires have always broken back down into natural ethnopluralism, often after doing much damage to human beings and the earth.

As the world gradually returns to an ethnopluralism of ethnostates, protected by some kind of federalism (not fascist feudalism), we will have to be vigilant because individual kin and ethnic groups will seek to dominate even ethnopluralism, because that is what human nature does.

If you want realist policy, this is realism.

What is divine in man?

To the religious gurus I ask, do not gaze down at man, head tilted with condescending patience and disappointment at man seeking to live, survive, reproduce and evolve. Do not smile with presumptuous compassion. Most religious and philosophical ideals have no existence apart from definition. There is little behind the religious and philosophical veil but words.

The hatred of materialism by the gurus has been mainly motivated by the goal of experiencing the God or Father Within, which required a blocking or cessation of material desires. That alone is a hedonistic goal and not enough. Real evolving life seeks real Godhood by way of the very drives that the gurus hate. The Twofold Path in theological materialism conservatively retains that first hedonistic glimpse of God but transforms it in the Outward Path of evolution toward real Godhood.

The fundamental and sacred orientation of life is activated from within material life toward evolving to Godhood in the material world, working along with whatever outside environment that evolution brings in the selection process.

What is divine in man is the activating Will or Spirit-Will, which is material, and activates material life toward evolving toward supermaterial Godhood. This is what drives life toward real truth, beauty, and goodness and not merely a non-material definition of these things or merely a blissful inward experience of the God Within. Life seeks to become these things as living objects with Godhood as the zenith of evolution.

Just because materialism has little direction today by man does not mean that materialism is evil and needs to be blocked in a Great Spiritual Blockade. Materialism can be aligned toward evolving to Godhood. This is what can revive religion, philosophy and science, and the cultures and civilizations that rise from these things.
