Someone close to me asked me to give an overall take on the current state of politics and the prospects for our future. I thought to answer, but first want to explain how I analyze the political landscape.
Here are some key principles that are worth repeating because we seem to forget them.
1. A chicken is an egg’s way of making another egg.
To influence the the size and numbers of your chickens, manage egg production and consumption. Demographics are destiny.
2. Eggs are rare, sperm is plentiful.
Combined with 1 above, the most important variable component of demographic destiny is female reproductive behavior and strategies.
3. Testosterone confers greater strength and aggression starting in the womb.
In humans, the male is best situated to execute the dangerous tasks of protecting and preserving society. Eggs, being rarer, need protection against other tribes and natural disaster by the more expendable males.
4. Politics is downstream of culture. Because politics is an expression of culture.
5. Culture is transmitted both mimetically and genetically.
The mimetic transmission of culture is well-acknowledged, but not the genetic transmission. Ethnic and racial groups have evolved traits expressed culturally. Often denied by the left, it is obvious to the astute observer.
6. Successful societies evolve strategies of both self-preservation and perpetuation.
This is just a restatement of Darwinism at the societal level. Self-preservation means that a society has the means to resist destruction by outside forces. Perpetuation is transmission of the cultural fabric, mimetically and genetically, to future generations largely intact.
As a Christian, I believe that a society based on Biblical principals will in fact be more successful because of successful application of these principles. I couch them in morally neutral terms to broaden my argument to those who do not share my faith.
