Regarding a truly synthesized, integrated, and natural social system


The ancient Greeks tried to develop a total work of art, a universal artwork, an all-embracing art form that made use of all art forms. Wagner talked about doing the same with his Gesamtkunstwerk, or total art work.

Conservative's like to say they are against ideologies and political totalisms but traditional conservatism does include integrated assertions, theories, and aims that constitute a total sociopolitical program, it just doesn't include authoritarianism or despotism. The one separation conservatives have that keeps them from a truly integrated system is their religious separation between the material and the spiritual.

Theological materialism doesn't make the metaphysical error of separating the material and the spiritual and affirms a truly synthesized and integrated natural system that synthesizes the basic political and cultural separation, independence, and freedom of an ethnopluralism of ethnostates for all distinct ethnic groups, along with a religious philosophy to express the material evolution of life to supermaterial Godhood. And the sacred goal of evolving to ascending levels Godhood need not deprive us of either science or religion.

Even the smallest change in human nature and our DNA structure, for example, in our immune system, took hundreds of thousands of years (now we have genetic engineering which may be more rapid), but human nature across the world remains kin-centered, gender defined, age-graded, heterosexual marriage-making, hierarchical, ethnocentric, even xenophobic, and religious-making, among other things, with group-selection, which usually mean ethnic selection, as the primary unit of selection. Rational and instinctive channeling of human drives, education, and human cultures in general need to move in this natural and integrated direction.

Transforming with evolution those first ancient inward experiences of Godhood


We can retain the traditional, conservative, classical, and biblical experience of the inward God, and most of the morality that comes with it, but a spirit didn't speak to religious founders from outside of the human material experience, it was the deepest part of human nature within the natural world that did the speaking, and it was not spiritual but was a peak material experience.

The Outward Path of material evolution to ongoing levels of supermaterial Godhood transforms but does not replace those first peak inward material experiences of Godhood. The Twofold Path contains both the inward and outward paths.

The moral laws come from nature, including the essential material activation within life (Tirips) to evolve to ascending levels of Godhood---which also defines the zenith of success in survival and reproduction---while adjusting to the ongoing unpredictable dynamics of natural outside evolution.

These essential conservative and evolutionary principles in theological materialism transform but do not reject the old inward path.

The future direction of political cultures


William Lind showed us how Political Correctness is Marxism translated from economic into cultural terms. Cultural Marxist's (which modern liberals have virtually become) give materialism a bad name by misusing reason and science in being hostile to the natural order and real human nature in their value systems and in their views of good and evil, even though they claim to represent the soul of reason and science.

The evolutionary sciences have shown us that the natural order has evolved a human nature that is genetically kin-centered, gender defined, age-graded, heterosexual, marriage-making, hierarchical, ethnocentric, even xenophobic, and religious-making, among other conservative things, with group-selection as the primary unit of selection, followed by individual selection. That is almost the opposite of cultural Marxism and modern liberalism.

Humans and cultures can operate for a time with behavior that goes against real human nature with such experiments as Marxism and modern liberalism, but cultures are eventually pulled back by the biological and genetic leash of real human nature to cultures that better reflect real human nature, and humans then work within and adapt to the environments they find themselves living in.

And what political cultures better reflect real human nature? Cultures that affirm ethnostates and an ethnopluralism of ethnostates, which takes us even deeper into the natural order and real human nature than traditional conservatism. So that strongly suggests the future direction of political cultures.

The conservatives, the natural preservers, are not yet addressing this real problem, or this solution (from 2015)


Individual, kin and group (or ethnic) selection could be called the primary-selection-trio. Libertarian conservatives are willing to make sacred the individual, and paleoconservatives or traditional conservatives are willing to make the kin sacred, but both say little or nothing about group or ethnic selection, and this is a serious omission directly relating to the future of America and the West.

According to the more courageous sociobiological and anthropological scientists and thinkers, group-selection is the central unit of selection. Only group or ethnic selection can be socially strong enough over the long term to actually protect and advance the individual and the kin.

The natural problems of competing groups within a multi-ethnic nation can be managed by affirming ethnopluralism, with regions and states primarily understood as ethnostates, which can then be protected internally and externally by a lighter version of federalism.

Establishing ethnopluralism within the United States is of course a daunting mission---charges of racism by the powers that be will destroy reputations---but the separation of powers and states in the U. S. Constitution could accommodate the natural political configuration of ethnostates, so even the conservatives could affirm it, if it was done gradually, and legally.

Ethnopluralism working in harmony with the primary-selection-trio works in harmony with real human nature, which remains very much individual, kin and ethnic-centered. Empires always fall back into ethnostates, so natural human history and evolution are on the side of ethnopluralism.

Otherwise America (and the West) seems headed for civil disturbances and even civil war between un-meltable ethnic cultures, which will weaken the nation internationally.  The conservatives, the natural preservers, are not yet addressing this real problem, or this solution, and the modern liberals remain unrealistic about human nature and politics.

Politically incorrect ways of realistically solving the primary problems we face today and in the future


E.O. Wilson points out that perhaps of the three primary problems we are facing now, climate change, population growth, and species extinction, population growth is the biggest of them, and Wilson advocates, among other things, that women of the world have no more than 2.1 children per woman---any more than that dooms the planet.  But progressive leaders never speak of the quality of the people being born: we know that when intelligence declines then civilization as we have known it declines. IQ correlates with many sociobiological factors, and these things have been determined objectively by science.

A few professors, such as Richard Lynn and Tatu Vanhanen, have shown that global inequality can be explained by national IQ's, that is, differences in intelligence are based on small genetic differences between populations, which relates to global inequality. Lynn and Vanhanen propose such things as improving the quality of nutrition for pregnant women and infants, because IQ is also related to early nutrition. And then we have one or two people, like the late psychologist Raymond Cattell, who would initiate voluntary eugenic programs for improving the genetic qualities of people, poor and rich.

It takes courage to suggest these things because the political correctness of cultural Marxism which now rules the academic world and the big media virtually crucifies or ruins the career any person who mentions the diversity of intelligence or improving intelligence.

I would affirm the full development of genetic technologies, even selecting traits at the level of embryos, gene sequencing, etc, which could give a wider amount of selection power to couples. I believe we also need to continue the cultural and political affirmation of evolution toward higher intelligence, health, personalty, beauty and athleticism. This biological path toward higher intelligence, health, personalty, beauty, and athleticism, which we all want for our children, is much slower to evolve than machine intelligence but more conservative and much safer than machine intelligence. Machine intelligence can be an aid in human biological evolution but should never be the sole area of advancing evolution.  Machine intelligence could one day dominate human life with amoral nonhuman values, if we don't carefully see that it does not.

And finally, human civilizations evolved mainly by way of the bonding ethics of group-selection or ethnic-selection and this remains deeply within human nature. Any future evolution will need to work with human nature in developing political philosophy, that is, not against human nature, such as developing, legally, an ethnopluralism of ethnostates. That is, a world of thousands of small states, or ethnostates, protected by a light federalism, and guided in material evolution toward Godhood by religion (theological materialism) and science. Then we may realistically have a better way, and more incentive, to solve the primary problems of climate change, population growth, and species extinction.

What's missing in conservatism and needs to be included


Conservatism rightly speaks of human scale culture, nurturing roots, centering on the common good more than commercial gain, and maintaining long established customs and habits, that is, not globalism, or universal cultural formats (see Russell Kirk). But conservative's rarely mention nurturing the roots of ethnic groups at the foundation of culture. Why not?

I think in our time it is lack of courage from fear of being called a “racist” for affirming ethnicity and all the social problems that can come from confronting the prevailing politically correctness of cultural Marxism.

Conservative's affirm natural law and human nature but overlook or downplay the basic parts of human nature that conflict with the politically correctness of cultural Marxism, such as, human nature being ethnocentric, even xenophobic, with group-selection---which usually means ethnic selection---as the primary unit of successful selection---although conservative's readily include human nature as being kin-centered, gender defined, age-graded, heterosexual marriage-making and religious-making.

Since group-selection---which usually means ethnic selection---is the primary unit of successful selection, that is a serious omission within conservatism which has driven too many energetic natural conservatives away from conservatism and down radical paths that feature ethnicity and race but overlook or downplay other basic parts of conservative human nature, like maintaining long established customs and habits, and not radical formats.

My kind of conservatism sees that an ethnopluralism of ethnostates is the best political configuration for ethnic groups to live within, and needs to be included in conservatism. An ethnopluralism of ethnostates or regions could be established legally in the United States with our constitutional separation of powers and states, protected from marauding imperialists and supremacists by federalism.

It may require a few constitutional amendments to give more power to states and regions to move toward an ethnopluralism of ethnostates, and it will not be easy at all, but it is far preferable to radical Marxism or Fascism, or the political dissimulations we now have based on flawed definitions of human nature, which have brought us radically destructive civil disruptions, or even civil war, and which are now increasing across the world within unworkable multicultural (multi-ethnic) societies demanding that we all get along...We will all live more naturally, homogeneously, and as harmoniously as is possible in our own ethnostates.

Dominance not talent usually rules


Watching a series of bad commercials on television I wondered why they increasingly seem to be so untalented---while posing as being talented and clever which makes them worse. Books, films, politicians, and celebrities in general are increasingly showing the same lack of talent and cleverness and the same pose of being clever and talented.

Ads, films, etc. are of course mainly about making money for the products advertised, so they are dumbed down to appeal to the largest number of people---ingenuity or imagination is not their main concern. Greed has much to do with the lowering of quality and can come with some deeper baggage, like nepotism and bias.

But this lack of talent and cleverness also has much to do with the fact that dominance not talent usually rules in business, politics, and culture. If an organization is dedicated to real talent and merit and is also dominant then we can see more ingenuity or imagination, but that combination of dominance, ingenuity, and imagination is not common.

It sounds too cynical but if you are a rising business person, politician, writer, etc. you should know that talent or merit alone won't bring you success in the world, talent needs to be attached to dominance to be heard.

The sacralization of evolution, not wealth, may come in the future


I have no doubt that the profit motive and free enterprise have led to many great things in the world, but I also have no doubt that the profit motive, or the intense and selfish desire to create wealth, as affirmed by libertarian economists like Milton Friedman, should not be the highest or only value of free enterprise and business.

The material evolution to ascending levels of supermaterial Godhood should be the highest value of our culture and civilization. This doesn't necessarily suggest theocracy, but the profit motive and the free enterprise system should be grounded in the highest value of the material evolution of life.

We are obviously a long way from this value system, but populism and economic nationalism are at least reluctantly beginning to wake business people up to the idea that the profit motive is not the highest value to live by. Globalism has done more damage than good in the world. The sacralization of evolution, not wealth, may come in the future.

Why aristocracies and meritocracies tend to fall


Russell Kirk said that “without aristocracies of some sort, a country is in danger of intellectual sterility.” Not said is that meritocracies tend to lead to aristocracies. Also not said is that the will to power of the biological origin of our social behavior is a stronger force than either aristocracies or meritocracies, which is why aristocracies and meritocracies are always threatened.

People and ethnic groups evolved in widely different environments and developed different traits and talents which are obvious, even though it has become politically incorrect to say it. So the aristocracies or meritocracies that ethnic groups develop are different from the aristocracies or meritocracies that other ethnic groups develop because different groups have different traits and talents. 

People tend to not much care if aristocracies or meritocracies become sterile or not because every cell in their body seeks survival and reproductive success first, even if people are unconscious of this primary motivation.

This becomes a problem in multicultural multi-ethnic societies where the will to power of the biological origin of our social behavior is a stronger force than either aristocracies or meritocracies, with group-selection or ethnic-selection as the primary unit of successful selection, followed by individual selection. So aristocracies and meritocracies in multicultural multi-ethnic societies tend to become sterile, or at least change, or even fall, do to various ethnic groups constantly competing for power.

If we want our countries and our people not to be in danger of sterility, intellectually or any other way, with power vested in people believed to be the best qualified, even in democracies, we will see the value in the natural political structure of ethnostates and an ethnopluralism of ethnostates, which relate directly to kin and ethnic-centered human nature and the always prevailing biological origin of our social behavior. Multicultural multi-ethnic societies eventually lead to civic disruptions and even civil war, where aristocracies or meritocracies are suspended.

Attaining real Godhood requires the affirmation of material life and evolution not the rejection of material life and evolution


Josef Pieper defined true “leisure” as orientating ourselves to the whole of existence, and to be orientated not in material things but from material things, and that is the general position of all serious asceticism, but it is gravely mistaken.

Ascetics all agree that being “truly human” means being free from the material world, which is like saying being truly human is not being human or being dead. Why this loathing of the material and the human?  Asceticism is directed toward blocking all material desires to experience the exclusive bliss that comes from this very difficult and sacrificial experience, which is interpreted as experiencing God or the Father.

We cannot be free from material things unless we are virtually dead, which is indeed what all serious ascetics advocate. For example, “...whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.” Luke 9:23-24. The Vedas, the Bible,
the Tripitaka, all declare this goal of asceticism.

But Nietzsche was wrong to say that therefore God is dead---although he meant that religions which advocate blocking all material desires are dead. Real Godhood cannot be reached by blocking all material desires because real ascending levels of Godhood are reached only by way of positive material evolution.

So religion need not die from science, science need not die from religion, and humans need not die to the material world to experience Godhood. Theological materialism not theological spiritualism is called for. Attaining real Godhood requires the affirmation of material life and evolution.

The Democratic 800-pound gorilla in the Republican living room


The obvious problem no one wants to discuss, the Democratic 800-pound gorilla in the Republican living room, is the will to power of ethnic groups and races, which is being demagogically exploited by the democrats who promote only nonwhites. And wide open borders and offering free everything to everyone brings more nonwhite votes for democrats, no-matter what damage it causes to the citizens of the nation. The 800-pound gorilla is at bottom the denial---by both Democrats and Republicans for different confused reasons---of the biological origin of social behavior, which includes political behavior.

Republicans and conservative's don't want to face the reality of there being a real will to power of ethnic groups or races, since they insist that we are all the same under God, so they condemn the democratic party for promoting racism. And to make things even more convoluted the democratic party claims to be fighting evil racism while using racism to fight racism.

The way out of this confused and dangerous mess will inevitably be brought about by real human nature, which remains as it has always been: genetically kin-centered, gender defined, age-graded, heterosexual marriage-making, hierarchical, ethnocentric, even xenophobic, with group-selection as the primary unit of selection. Rational and instinctive channeling of human nature and human drives, and education in general, needs to move in this direction.

A growing number of people believe that real human nature will lead to ethnostates and an ethnopluralism of ethnostates as the best political configuration for human beings to live within. An ethnopluralism of ethnostates or regions could be established legally in the United States with our constitutional separation of powers and states. Whatever peace and harmony possible between distinctly different people will come from these natural separations, protected from marauding imperialists and supremacists by some sort of federalism.

Why there can be hope that the virus of globalism will not kill us all in the end


In the West big government and big business (often the same thing) make people and ethnic groups conform to them rather than people and ethnic groups making big government and big business conform to them. And so globalism has been increasingly establishing the sameness of globalism and in the process have been destroying the particular traits of people, ethnic groups, and nations. Few benefit from this destruction other than the few promoters and controllers of globalism.

The only thing that has a chance of saving us from this conformity, this sameness, this living death of who and what we are, is the biological origin of our social behavior. As someone said, “Biology is the hardware, culture is the software.” We are governed and activated from within to live and successfully survive and reproduce in every cell of the body, reacting and adapting to the various environments we live in. This natural activation can be blocked, subverted, or it can be unknown to us, but it can't legitimately be intellectually or instinctively denied by big government, big business, or by anyone or anything else. In the end existing cultural values come from consciously or unconsciously trying to biologically and genetically advance ourselves and our kin, our related ethnic group, our locality, and our nation.

So during this time of the dying of particular people, ethnic groups, and nations at the hands of globalism---which is actually evil---there can be real hope that the virus of globalism will not kill us all in the end. Reality suggests that the biological origin of our social behavior and real human nature will once again naturally lead to the cultural expression of localism, regionalism, ethnostates, and an ethnopluralism of ethnostates, protected from marauding imperialists and supremacists by some sort of federalism---that is hope based on real human nature, which can't be blocked forever.

An outsider-even-to-outsiders position on methods of thinking, and a Mass of Celebration


German Catholic philosopher Josef Pieper's book on leisure and its religious connections examines in a very accessible way both epistemology, the theory of knowledge, and the connections between leisure and religious insight. Or we might say he examines the way we find truth through the empirical methods of science verifiable by observation, experience and reason, compared to leisurely free thinking or intuition, which Pieper seems to prefer.

I think leisurely free thinking or intuition is like a very rapid way of summing up whatever empirical methods of observation, experience, and reason we have absorbed (or not absorbed ) in our life, so rapidly that we don't see the mind or method involved----they are sort of the same thing.

Artists and ascetics tend to lead with leisurely free thinking or intuition and scientists tend to lead with observation, experience and reasoning, but the best artists and scientists probably use both methods.

Being a religious philosopher Pieper compares leisurely free thinking or intuition to religious celebration and festival. I see this as the tone of the projected Mass of Celebration in the Outward Path of the projected Theoevolutionary Church; not in contrast to the Sacrificial Mass of the Inward Path of traditional religion, but rather as transforming the symbolic inward experience of God (thought of as spiritual but really a peak material experience) to the Outward Path of material evolution to supermaterial Godhood.

The sacred, or Godhood, is seen as supermaterial and reached through material evolution. The hero is featured in the material Outward Path to ascending levels of supermaterial Godhood rather than the early sacrificial martyr saint of the Inward Path, which is still valid but transformed. Science can join religion without the standard antagonism. It is an outsider-even-to-outsiders religious view, but in any case a religious celebration and festival of life, not death, is called for in the projected Theoevolutionary Church: a Mass of Celebration.

The best way we can recover from our demographic disaster


As William Lind pointed out, in 1933 the Nazis came to power and shut down the Marxist Institute for Social Research and its members fled to New York City where they reestablished the Frankfurt School at Columbia University. Later, Herbert Marcuse saw the 60s student rebellion as the great opportunity to take the work of the Frankfurt School and make it the theory of the New Left in the United States.

So the biological origin of human social behavior led to the will to power of the members of the Frankfurt School, who developed the cultural Marxism of political correctness and the lethal socialist neoliberal philosophy, which led to the moronic and degenerate Kennedy's, the smug and suicidal Clinton's, and the 1965 Immigration Act, which led to the destruction of the Northern European demographics of traditional America and allowed the rise to power of blacks, Hispanics, homosexuals, feminist women, the global elite, the media, and the academics, who in turn call for the subordination of all nations and ethnic groups to globalism, which really means subordination to the leaders of globalism.

Real human nature remains 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, and this leads naturally to the cultural expression of regionalism, localism, and an ethnopluralism of ethnostates. Given who we are this appears to be the best way we can recover from our demographic disaster. Otherwise we may fade away.

The ineptness of the revenge of the nerds of the big tech companies


Peter Thiel suggested that the reason big tech companies like Google are now working with China in artificial intelligence, which China promptly applies toward their dream of military dominance of the world, may be because big tech companies like Google, Facebook and Apple are full of people with the Asperger syndrome developmental disorder, which Wikipedia describes as “a spectrum of psychological conditions that are characterized by abnormalities of social interaction and communication that pervade the individual's functioning, and by restricted and repetitive interests and behavior,” which lend themselves well to computer engineering etc. but not so well to political diplomacy.

In some cases the nerds did manage to grab on to anarchic libertarianism and even cultural Marxism in our corrupted colleges and universities which they use to justify their obsessions, and which is about as political as they can manage to be. And no doubt there is some revenge of the nerds going on here as pay back for being dweebs and freaks in high school---becoming billionaires does bring a few of the cheerleader types around, at last, as well as big smiles from greedy businessmen who were probably once captains of the high school football team.

These big tech nerds aren't benign dweebs, as we see from their China alliances, they need attending and oversight and not free reign, no-matter how much they object to restricting their politically inept repetitive interests and behavioral obsessions.

Human nature, cultures, being what we are, and theological materialism


Not being what we are, not being one with oneself, not being in accord with ones being, is mainly caused from being taught what we are not, usually in three ways.

We are taught that financial success in the world is all, or we are taught that survival and reproductive success is all, or we are taught that the spiritual is superior to the material and we should therefore most importantly look to the non-material spiritual, with the advocates of those positions claiming that those positions are in the best accord with what we are. Various cultures have developed around those versions of not being what we are, of not being one with oneself, or not being in accord with ones being.

Success in the world financially is driven by the desire for survival and reproductive success, but the desire for survival and reproductive success is driven by the sacred activation to evolve in the material world to supermaterial Godhood. The non-material spiritual was only the first rudimentary glimpse of the ascending levels of Godhood evolved to in the material world.

Being what we are means being in accord with nature and with real human nature, which is basically 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, followed by individual selection. Cultures are eventually pulled back by that biological and genetic leash of real human nature to cultures that better reflect real human nature, and humans then work within and adapt to the environments they find themselves living.

But in the deepest sense of being what we are and being in accord with ones being is the activation to evolve in the material world to ascending levels of supermaterial Godhood. Cultures can then work within and adapt to the environments they find themselves living in and consciously develop from that definition of theological materialism.

The Precedence of the Founders and Ethnopluralism (from 2015)


Clyde Wilson writes about the war of independence and the establishment of 13 free and independent colonies in North America (Chronicles, April 2015). Wilson reminds us that each colony developed its own society.  The debates over the ratification of the U.S. Constitution were often against the centralizing of power and keeping the independence of the states. The best men feared "consolidation." The United States was a plural---the United States are, not the United States is, was the universal usage, as in the Constitution.

Thomas Jefferson was not an advocate of "one nation indivisible," he would not be called a nationalist, it was the principle of self-government that was important to Jefferson. The union could be changed, it was not eternal. Toward the end of his life Jefferson wrote that it would be better for Virginia to secede than to succumb to the centralization pushed by Northern interests.

The states united together did not forfeit their sovereignty, they were not reduced to one and the same people. The union was "a compact between separate communities." An alliance was created in 1776, not really a "nation." When Jefferson looked westward he saw American's creating  a new self-governing commonwealth joined in such a way as they wished.

This precedence, this character, this tone and guiding belief in affirming non-centralized states (but with a lightly protective federalism, and in today's world with a protecting economic nationalism) could be applied to ethnopluralism, and could be done with conservative reform, not radical revolution. We have gradually learned more about real human nature over the years and we see that human nature remains biologically and often culturally kin-centered, ethnocentric, group-selecting, even xenophobic, which means that in our crowded multi-ethnic world we will need to find a way to accommodate ethnopluralism, to keep whatever peace and harmony is possible between humans.

Establishing, or reestablishing, virtual ethnostates in the United States, where distinct ethnic cultures can thrive and evolve as they wish will probably happen anyway as multicultural empires always break back down into ethnostates. It would be better to do this consciously, rationally, rather than by way of civil war, given human nature---and our Constitution, with its separation of powers and states, could accommodate a natural and moral ethnopluralism if we would choose to do so.

There is no real religious alchemy


It is said that alchemy was and is a double-goal system: it connects the physical world with the spiritual one so that the two can evolve together simultaneously, but the problem is, there is no spiritual world, there is only the material and supermaterial world: we evolve to ascending levels of supermaterial Godhood in the material world. Alchemy influenced religion and the growth of science, but there is no real alchemy, at least not a legitimate one.

But for solid conservative reasons we can in the Twofold Path retain the traditional Inward Path as the first human ascetic glimpse of Godhood, mistakenly thought to be non-material or spiritual, which is now transformed in the Outward Path of material evolution to ascending levels of supermaterial Godhood.

A Mass needs to be created celebrating the material evolution of life to supermaterial Godhood in the Outward Path which can be added to the sacred Mass of ascetic sacrifice of the traditional Inward Path. The hero can supersede the saint.

A big reconstruction, I know, but humans can eventually handle it, especially since it adheres to reality and can save dying religion.

Professors and priests will one day be teachers and conveyors of the biological origin of social behavior


I think professors and priests in humanities departments should be, are meant to be, and one day will be, teachers and conveyors of the biological origin of social behavior, along with their academic discipline of studying human culture in general. This means that the evolutionary science of sociobiology needs to be part of the curriculum of the humanities as well as part of the training of future professors and priests. The deepest understanding of our ideas and the moral sanctions of history and civilizations come from this foundation. Without the evolutionary sciences the humanities are inadequate and incomplete.

That being said we can see how the postmodernism, cultural Marxism, and political correctness of present academia are fraudulent. They have illegitimately joined Nietzsche's will to power to Marxism and the underclass will to power of feminist women, blacks, Hispanics, homosexuals, etc., which is contrary not only to Nietzsche but to real human nature and the biological origin of social behavior, which remains genetically 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, followed by individual selection.

I believe that the truth really does always rise, even if it can be stalled for centuries. When and how professors and priests will one day be teachers and conveyors of the biological origin of social behavior I cannot say, but I know as long as we have the rising of the sun and the moon it is inevitable and inescapable. Cultures can operate for a time with behavior that goes against human nature with such experiments as cultural Marxism but cultures are eventually pulled back by the biological and genetic leash of real human nature to cultures that better reflect real human nature, and humans then work within and adapt to the environments they find themselves living in.

High religious experiences are peak material, not spiritual, experiences


Can free inquiry into intellectual things be free of all working purpose or is even philosophy a function of the material biological origin of social behavior?

Religious philosophy first took the leap of thinking in terms of a non-material spiritual world, which then supposedly allowed philosophers to think and feel free of the bonds of the material world. But that was not what they were doing. High religious experiences are peak material, not spiritual, experiences.

For example, by ridding the body of material desires, as Christ, Buddha, and other ascetics advocated they experienced the feeling of bliss which they described as non-material and spiritual---they even called it “God” which in reality was a peak material experience.

I believe that the deepest religious experience is feeling, knowing, or experiencing the high activation (Tirips) within material life to live, survive, reproduce, and evolve in the material world to supermaterial Godhood. We cannot function beyond or without this sacred material activation, why would we want to? Does the false duality of the desire to transcend the living object stem from the desire to transcend death?

It's interesting that blocking or unattaching oneself from all material desires is a form of death, the body shuts down the senses until “active death" is attained, which is blissful---the state of sushumna “lights the fires of death.” We seek freedom from life when we seek freedom from the material world, and that is death.

We evolve in the material world to supermaterial Godhood and we have free will to do so but within determined paths, like a boulder rolling down a mountainside. Why has that been so hard to accept? 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, all the way to ascending levels of real Godhood.
