Conservatism is what happens when an intelligent animal with a K-selected psychology (reproductive strategy) can vocalize and espouse the urges he is imbued with.
Liberalism is what an intelligent animal will espouse, if they have an r-type psychology (reproductive strategy) inherent to their nature.
Both are genetic, and they are present in every other species in nature. These two reproductive strategies, drawn from the well characterized field of population biology, are what lay beneath our ideological predispositions. K-strategists embrace free competition, support abstinence until monogamy, and support high-investment, two-parent child-rearing. r-strategists are driven to perform avoidance of competition, promiscuity instead of monogamy, sexualization of the young, and low-investment single-parent child-rearing.
The problem we have now, is that America is so productive, we can funnel free resources to the r-type psychologies in our populations. Given free resources, these r-type psychologies do what r-type psychologies are designed to do. They multiply using promiscuity, selfishness, single parenting, and avoidance of competition. They then demand more resources, so they may continue as they are programmed to do. In a way, our greatness has produced so much in the way of free resources, that we have placed a massive r-selection stress on our population, favoring the growth of Liberalism. The national debt, particularly, is just an artificial construct supporting the continued growth of the r-type, Liberal favoring sub-population within our nation.
As I point out in the paper, this effect continues in nature, until there are no longer enough resources to support the r-type population’s exponential growth. In our case, this will be the moment China ceases to buy our debt (or sudden global cooling suddenly makes everything more expensive). At that point, the free money spigot closes, snapping resource shortages upon our population. Even worse, we will have debt payments, further draining resources, and heightening the resultant K-selection pressures. This period will not be fun. It will be like the Depression, with people coming to your back door to beg for a piece of bread. It will favor those who compete and work, and work well with others (by respecting their fellow citizens, and rewarding success). It will favor the K-type psychology.
When the free resources are suddenly no longer available, those r-types who are only fit to suckle at the governmental teat will either leave for a more socialist environ, be imprisoned for crime, or be otherwise neutered in effect (too busy trying to survive to rabble rouse and protest for oppression). The r-type allele will wane, and Conservatism will rise just as the K-type psychology rises in a population where one must compete to survive.
If you see this in nature, it is exactly the same. Conservatism never dies, because free resources cannot be made available to everyone, in limitless quantities, forever and ever. It just can’t happen. Revolution will not be necessary, given the economic cliff we are approaching.
Wow, it’s encouraging to see how many people support the Jeffersonian notion of “altering or abolishing” the national government...now we’re getting somewhere!
I started reading your articles this morning and will continue this weekend. Thanks
For those who would like, please join us on air today from 12:00 - 2:00 pm on AM 930, WFDM (or by going to our website www.forgottenmen.com and click “Listen Live”). Also, on the Forgotten Men website, you can join our chat room which is live during the show.
Like I said, I’m encouraged that so many are willing to think outside the box that the two-party system has most locked in. As Dr. Phil is famous for saying; “how’s that working out for you?” Our response must be, if we’re at all intellectually honest, not too well. And then my response on air, along with my co-host Joshua who wrote this piece, is “ok, then let’s get to the business of real change, not the sophomoric change offered by the national campaigns.”
Hope to see many in the chat room today.
I regreat that I don’t have time to fully read your papers, although from what I skimmed it does seem like an interesting bit of speculation. I do think there are many conservatives that are non-monogamous.
I would also point out that the value of monogamy is due to to the particular resource problem regarding childrearing & education which results from biological needs of humans having the longest childhood of any species (again due to our need to learn).
the point is some people might offload this responsablity to the woman while going on to spread their seed to as many other women as possable. Thus leaving our women to bare the burden of sustaining the civilization more or less alone. But that is not the way even a sucessfull civilization surives.
You would think that fact is quite self-evident given the sub-replacement level birth rates in the west. Our civilization is quite litterly dying. We are not having children or enough children to even keep going, and the leftist portions of our population are at the sphere head of this extradition.
It is possible that the women of our civilization cannot and will not bare this burden alone. And thus our civilization slides into extinction & replacement in “the best of times”.
So i guess you could say this is a problem that solves itself biologically as well as financially by killing us.
