Controversy in Relationship to Human Culture
The reader should be aware that this subject matter covers many controversial aspects of human existence. This work deconstructs the entire human condition, spanning the indifferent universe, natural selection, artificial selection, liberty, freedom, democracy, religion, politics, and economics. If you prefer to never speak of religion and politics in public, then this development of political philosophy may lie outside your comfort zone. Alternatively, reading such material may be the most liberating, enlightening, and empowering experience of your life – it certainly has been for me – even though I now struggle with this knowledge while witnessing global warming encroach.
Controversy in Relationship to Natural Selection
This development of political philosophy deconstructs the entire human condition, and reveals the human condition as the product of “mindless” natural selection producing an equally “brain-dead” product, meaning ubiquitous tribalism is instinctual, and our eusocial nature follows the puppet-master of tribalism unconsciously. Please don’t be offended; I’m not trying to insult any individuals or group’s intelligence, I’m trying to make an important and challenging point that identifies a major liability for Homo sapiens so that we can design a solution. In addition, I make several “politically incorrect”, sensationalist, and/or important comparisons between biology such as barnacles, molds, fish, apes, ants, bees, and Homo neanderthalensis in relationship to Homo sapiens, which many might find shocking and disturbing, so fair warning as they say.

Concerns, Clarification, and Updates
Contributing a Different Perspective
This effort addresses the “Biological Model” component of a larger work, which identifies three other System Models: the “Metaphysical Justice Model”, the “Cognitive Model”, and the “Digitalization Model”. Because this effort is a component of a larger work, these other concepts are not fully explained; nevertheless this analysis of the “Biological Model” produces sufficient analysis to stand on its own.
Consistent with “fix it fast now”* male psychology, my experience has been that many want to jump straight to the solution phase. Meanwhile, the “Biological Model” is about identifying “First Causes” and “initial conditions”, and therefore about problems more than solutions. It should be noted therefore, that this effort doesn’t focus on the solution phase of the philosophy, which is addressed more so in the “Cognitive Model” and “Digitalization Model”. Nevertheless, this analysis of the “Biological Model” does identify some basic aspects of the solution phase, such as: defining our institutions through natural explanations and prioritized relationships in unification with a physics-governed environment, including producing two economies, which is integrated with reverse engineering Spaceship Earth to achieve universal ethics that provide for universal physical human needs.
The complete effort identifies the thesis of “Mechanical-Social Integration” and the proposed new hybrid natural-social science of “Physiosociobiology”, including the progressive political philosophy of “Universalism”, the process of “Reverse Engineering” to identify “Universal Ethics”, and new government through the “Democracy of Science”.
In addition, I write assumptive of certain cosmological and biological conditions, or determinisms. Cosmologically, such conditions identify the Big Bang indifferent universe and expanding cosmological model, the initial conditions of physics and Newtonian mechanics, and connectedly, physics-governed climate change and global warming. Biologically, they include evolutionary biology identifying E. O. Wilson’s “multi-level selection” and Mark Pagel’s “cultural survival vehicles”, which together encompass eusociality, multilevel selection, and tribalism. Each of these cosmological and biological “initial conditions” is supported with sufficient evidence to provide working theories. After exposure to E. O. Wilson’s “multi-level selection” and Mark Pagel’s “cultural survival vehicles”, I synthesized eusociality, multilevel selection, and tribalism with atheism and eco-socialism. Of course, the “Biological Model” produces my own unique analysis, and in respect of others proprietary contributions, my analysis shouldn’t be conflated with those I draw influence from.
It is intuitive to me that a science-based individual would synthesize cosmological and biological determinism with atheism and eco-socialism. Nevertheless, many don’t share this intuition. Presumably, such individuals consider it wiser to accommodate falsehood, exploitation, and physical damage, simply because natural selection produced such circumstance, rather than fix it with artificial selection and logic. My opinion is that evolutionary biologists are overly fond of the process of natural selection; meanwhile, I remain rather critical of the process, so I contribute a different perspective.
In addition, the hypocrisy that “breaks my camel’s back” is that we use immensely subjective top-down social design protocols to enable falsehood, exploitation, and physical damage, and then call this self-imposed condition “the way the world works”. Considering that such consequence has produced social and economic horror for the multitude, including global warming, I have no problem using objective top-down social design protocols to defeat falsehood, exploitation, and physical damage, and then calling that superior new product the way the world works. Some may still want to demonize this effort as “bloody politics”. Nevertheless, this effort is accurately identified as designing a solution to a human condition that causes social and economic horror for the multitude, including global warming.
The “Behavioral” and “Naturalist” Schools
Currently, two schools of thought are competing in social science; the traditional “behavioral” school that most subscribe to, and the new emerging “naturalist” school being promoted by evolutionary biologists like E. O. Wilson, which is gaining traction.
To be clear, my work follows the naturalist school, which identifies vast biological determinism through eusociality, multilevel selection, and tribalism to determine the human condition, spanning church-state construction to psychology. In this view, most observations of the behavioral school identify “symptoms” that are caused by the biological determinisms of eusociality, multilevel selection, and tribalism.
For example, I don’t endorse predicating a social design solution for Homo sapiens on an exhaustive dissection of the human mind, because our minds clearly serve the biological determinisms of eusociality, multilevel selection, and tribalism, where with tribalism, we already understand sufficiently to produce a working solution. In addition, even though I identify the influence of natural selection to produce biological determinism, I frequently don’t endorse following this determinism, and instead pioneering a new way forward through artificial selection and logic.
Cultural Survival Vehicles
In “Wired for Culture: Origins of the Human Social Mind”, Mark Pagel’s “cultural survival vehicles” identifies the profound influence of natural selection on human culture. The premise of “cultural survival vehicles” is that since natural selection produced us, it is logical that our cultures evolved to promote our survival. So Pagel observes the roles of culture, and finds similarities between cultures to identify common denominators.
This seems like a good idea, but as I said above, most observations of the behavioral school identify symptoms that are caused by the biological determinism of eusociality, multilevel selection, and tribalism. Consequently, instead of endorsing the roles of culture through a market-based interpretation, including through specific occupations that serve tribal church-state national exceptionalism, I identify that ubiquitous human tribalism simply produces conservative interpretations of institutions, specifically militarism, religion, politics, economics, and culture, and that the roles of culture serve these conservative interpretations. This insight about the roles of culture serving conservative interpretations of institutions produced by the common denominator of ubiquitous human tribalism constitutes one of my contributions to “gene/culture theory”.
An Important Update: Steady-State Economics, the Entropy Cycle, and “The Slavery Equation”
One of the themes in this book is the relationship between biology and physics. At a fundamental level, human tribalism is determined by a territorial radius in relationship to acquiring limiting resources. These radii represent physical determinisms that tribalism responds to. In addition, even though tribes can expand their radii with work animals and technology, the biological determinisms of tribalism remain the same while expanding from tribes to chiefdoms to states.
Human tribalism determined by a territorial radius in relationship to acquiring limiting resources benefits from work animals and technology to expand the radius, where typically the bigger the tribe, the better off the people are in the evolutionary arms race against other tribes. This situation produces a “play or die” biological determinism, which we instinctively serve, including demonstrate little ability to step outside of through intellectual ability to produce a superior human condition.
The problem is, natural selection is fine with this adaptation, but governing physics is not. Eusociality and tribalism are intrinsically growth-oriented processes, meanwhile resources remain scarce, limiting if renewable, and ultimately finite. Governing physics subjects all matter, energy, and biological processes to the laws of thermodynamics, namely “the entropy cycle”, which is: “Low-Entropy Matter/Energy In, and High-Entropy Matter/Energy Out”. Because of this, biological processes spanning natural selection to human tribalism are subject to the conservation of energy. Consequently, “biological economists” such as Herman E. Daley in “Economics, Ecology, Ethics: Essays Toward a Steady-State Economy”, and Kenneth Boulding in “The Coming Economics of Spaceship Earth”, have identified the need to regulate growth, and conserve resources. This understanding is counterintuitive to the evolutionary arms race of human tribalism, which is why status quo politics and economics will never integrate our species in sustainable unification with the physics-governed natural environment.
The evolutionary arms race of human tribalism may have even deeper causality, however. The issue of human tribalism determined by a territorial radius that benefits from work animals and technology to expand the radius, where typically the bigger the tribe the better off the people are in the evolutionary arms race against other tribes, shares another parallel in the animal world, that of ants. Ant colonies represent a clear parallel to human tribalism, where colonies are also determined by a territorial radius that benefits from work animals and technology to expand the radius, where typically the bigger the colony the better off the ants are in the evolutionary arms race against other ant colonies. So, what are the “work animals and technology” that expand the ant colony radius, and benefit ants? Well, ant colonies demonstrate the same behavior as human tribalism does in raiding, warring, and the taking of slaves, where the “work animals and technology” are ant slaves and the specializations of scouts and a warrior class.
The evolutionary arms race may explain this remarkably identical behavior between vastly disparate species, but it is possible that a physics governed quality such as the entropy cycle (Low-Entropy Matter/Energy In, and High-Entropy Matter/Energy Out) also influences this behavior. I suggest that the acquisition of slaves allows social species both human and ant to perform additional evolutionary specialization that promotes their survival (explained further in the text). Furthermore, I suggest that the “slavery equation” (entropy cycle) may apply to church-state function, the division of labor, disparity in wealth, and wage slavery, even scientific and professional specialization.
Consequently, I believe Herman E. Daley’s Steady-State Economics model has effectively already identified the mathematics of the “slavery equation”. The mathematics of thermodynamics, the conservation of energy, and entropy applies to all physical systems, including biology. Biology must consume Low-Entropy Matter/Energy that by default produces High-Entropy Matter/Energy output as a result. This is the equation/situation that biology must negotiate, and it is the equation/situation that causes slavery to be an effective survival strategy for social species, both insect and otherwise.
I have yet to fully integrate this understanding in the main text, but even this simple demonstration seems adequate to establish the theoretical and quantifiable validity of “the slavery equation”. The mathematics of thermodynamics, the conservation of energy, and entropy, which are the mathematics of all physical systems, including biology, are well-known and quantifiable. Low-Entropy Matter/Energy In, and High-Entropy Matter/Energy Out, provides a compelling parsimonious explanation for why biological species as disparate as ants and hominids both demonstrate the same behavior of militarism and slavery (class systems), and a physics-governed reason why ant colonies and human tribalism are both growth-oriented through consumption of Low-Entropy Matter/Energy, which produces and encourages specialization through militarism and slavery.
This effort should be considered state-of-the-art in my development of social science and philosophy.

Positivism Applied to Human Social Design
“Men are not allowed to think freely about chemistry and biology, so why should they be allowed to think freely about political philosophy”, Auguste Comte 1798-1857.
Carry the equation of social science through reductionism one step further to physics, and environmental determinism provides a standard candle for Homo sapiens to achieve social and environmental sustainability in the indifferent universe.
Conventions Used in this Book
Universal Dictionary
Several conventions are used in this book, which are frequently repeated, so it is helpful if the reader is made familiar with them from the beginning. This section has taken on a life of its own, and represents my state-of-the art development of philosophy. In addition, the following “universal dictionary” provides a synopsis of the subject matter and message presented in the book.
The following are brief but effective descriptions, and intended to provide orientation. In this book, “The Democracy of Science” is most completely expressed in the universal dictionary. Typically, more complete elaborations follow in the text, and of course the reader should pursue independent study to fill in any missing gaps in their understanding. For example, it should be noted that a paradigm shift has occurred in evolutionary biology in 2012. The world authority on eusocial species Edward O. Wilson abandoned “inclusive fitness theory”, also known as “kin selection”, and replaced this theory with “multi-level selection” (Edward O. Wilson, “The Social Conquest of Earth”).
* * * * *
“The Indifferent Universe”: This term is a convention in science and atheism that identifies the naturally occurring Big Bang universe. Evidence spanning a natural explanation for the Big Bang, including natural explanations for all subsequent cosmological evolution supports this assessment.
Further evidence for “indifference” is provided by the unlikelihood of complex life evolving identified by the Rare Earth theory (Ward and Brownlee), all the ways the universe tries to kill us identified by Neil deGrasse Tyson, the unlikely cumulative pre-adaptations required to produce a sentient intelligent eusocial hominid (“The Social Conquest of Earth”), repeated mass extinctions, and eventual universe extinction through the expanding cosmological model. Self-evidently, the phenomenon of biology plays no role in the origin, management, or conclusion of the expanding cosmological model; all biology can do is manage itself in relationship to governing physics.
“The Initial Conditions of Physics” and “Classical Physics”: The Big Bang is identified to produce the initial conditions of physics through the weak nuclear, strong nuclear, electromagnetic, and gravitational forces to provide the foundation for “classical physics” (sometimes called “Newtonian mechanics”). Classical physics govern nuclear, electromagnetic, and gravitational cause and effect between mass and motion for large and small objects in the universe, spanning for example celestial bodies to molecular chemistry. Classical physics govern cause and effect for our bodies, consequence for what our minds tell our bodies to do, the ecosystem, and the atmosphere. For example, the initial conditions of physics, or classical physics, govern mans thoughts and actions that cause global warming.
Classical physics govern cause and effect between mass and motion for both large and small objects in the universe until they begin reaching the speed of light. Only the very smallest objects in the universe and phenomenon approaching the speed of light, demonstrate exception to the governance of classical physics, which are governed by quantum physics, or “quantum mechanics”. Currently, a schism exists in the ability to produce a single “theory of everything” that coordinates both classical physics and quantum mechanics. Unless however, planet Earth is reaching the speed of light, no other development of physics than classical physics is required to address a solution for manmade yet physics-governed global warming.
“The Natural Physics-Governed Hierarchy”: As stated, unless planet Earth is reaching the speed of light, no other development of physics than classical physics is required to address a solution for manmade yet physics-governed global warming. For example, if we could somehow “fool mother nature” and produce a seemingly magical “techno-fix” for global warming through quantum physics, which isn’t even currently theoretically possible, nothing about Homo sapiens primitive, exploitive, and damaging relationship with nature, i.e. the natural physics-governed hierarchy and ecosystem, would change, and all the aspects of nature that are demonstratively governed by cause and effect classical physics would continue to be degraded by the activities of man. Both external phenomenons imposed on us by the indifferent universe, including manmade pollution, habitat loss, biodiversity loss, resource depletion, over-farming, and climate change, would continue to be ongoing physics-governed ecosystem problems for Homo sapiens. Consequently, performing sustainable integration between the physics-governed natural hierarchy, the physics-governed ecosystem, and the physics-governed human condition (i.e. connecting the biocentric with the anthropocentric), requires cultural evolution through science-based systems-based solutions that can change in unification with the natural physics-governed hierarchy that cannot change.
When we look at Homo sapiens relationship with the natural physics-governed hierarchy on paper, such as a social engineer does, performing solutions through integration and symbiosis with physics-governed influence seems obvious. Meanwhile, objectifying the biological function of natural selection that must suffer the fool of ignorance to affect the sex and violence of tribalism without reason to design biological unification with the physics-governed indifferent universe presents serious difficulties. Sentient biology must become intelligent and wise in order to perform the “Magnus Symbiosis” of sustainable unification with the natural hierarchy of governing cause and effect physics.
Alternative to producing solutions in unification with the natural physics-governed hierarch, Homo sapiens would then need to “fool mother nature” several additional times, and through quantum physics sleight of hand, produce seemingly magical individual “techno-fix’s” for pollution, habitat loss, biodiversity loss, resource depletion, over-farming, including climate change. Producing a “techno-fix” for global warming through quantum physics isn’t even currently theoretically possible, so continuing to act in abstraction from the natural physics-governed hierarchy that produces a diversity of problems unsuitable for solutions through quantum physics doesn’t seem like a very smart strategy.
We must prioritize solutions between what we know will work through unification with the natural physics-governed hierarchy, in relationship to asserting for example that “sufficient technology is indistinguishable from magic” to bet the fate of humanity on a “techno-fix” through quantum physics that is immensely inapplicable to the diversity of problems that face Homo sapiens. I wouldn’t normally debate the rather preposterous issue of performing solutions through quantum physics, except to address the larger issue that physics currently identifies several new developments such as dark matter, dark energy, quantum shift anomaly, and the theoretical possibility of a multiverse, which postmodernism, religion, and the capitalist press wants to turn into a gigantic excuse to maintain the church-state status quo. Meanwhile, the diversity of problems that face Homo sapiens can be immediately and extremely effectively addressed through the correct reductionism to classical physics, which designs science-based systems-based unification with the natural physics-governed hierarchy.
All practical aspects of nature that we interact with are governed by classical physics, which is demonstrated by affecting us with clear cause and effect consequence. Consequently, our clearly “positivist” relationship with nature identifies performing solutions in unification with the natural physics-governed hierarchy, instead of making excuses to perpetuate damaging division with it. Currently, division with the natural physics-governed hierarchy and negative consequence spans several “institutions”, beginning with the biological determinism of “tribalism” that is intrinsically militaristic and growth-oriented. Tribalism that is intrinsically militaristic and growth-oriented doesn’t play nice with other tribes through globalization on a finite planet.
Tribalism that is intrinsically militaristic and growth-oriented includes the situations of “tribalism without reason”, church-state systems, religion, and growth-model capitalism on a finite planet, which are currently all enabled through a false damaging unscientific unregulated definition of individual liberty that cannot possibly be scientifically correct. If Homo sapiens identify benefit through science, Homo sapiens must rectify the situation of a false damaging unscientific unregulated definition of individual liberty that cannot possibly be scientifically correct. Unfortunately for natural selection convention, this new scientific ability will invalidate tribalism without reason, false duplicitous deism, and church-state systems, and require new social design that functions in virtual polar opposite to what primitive false damaging biological determinism has produced.
Understanding the significance of all the aspects of nature that are governed by classical physics spanning planetary orbits, chemical reactions in the atmosphere, ecosystem conditions on Earth, including the quality and sustainability of the human condition, connects the biocentric with the anthropocentric as a single truthful linear identity. This understanding identifies performing a paradigm shift in social design through unification with the natural physics-governed hierarchy, instead of perpetuating “tribalism without reason” and church-state systems accommodating for example, a manmade supernatural god-governed afterlife hierarchy.
“Governing Physics” and “Physics-Governed”: As noted, classical physics govern cause and effect between mass and motion for both large and small objects in the universe, spanning planets, our bodies, consequence for what our minds tell our bodies to do, the ecosystem, and chemical reactions in the atmosphere. Classical physics govern mans thoughts and actions that cause global warming. “Governing physics” (or governing “mechanical” physics) identifies the natural physics-governed hierarchy, which is incompatible with a supernatural god-governed afterlife hierarchy.
Compliance with the natural physics-governed hierarchy identifies producing our institutions through matching natural explanations for a naturally occurring physics-governed environment to produce predictive positive cause and effect consequence from the indifferent universe, which invalidates the faith-based reasoning and supernatural afterlife hierarchy of religion. In addition, compliance identifies producing our institutions through matching prioritized relationships in unification with governing cause and effect physics to design predictive positive consequence from the indifferent universe, which invalidates growth-model laissez faire capitalism on a finite planet.
Governing physics identifies an alternative hierarchy and method of governance to the ethics of religion and the economics of capitalism, specifically the universal ethics and economics of reverse engineering a sustainable Spaceship Earth. The natural physics-governed hierarchy is replete with physics-governed metaphysical justice for our thoughts and actions, which provides a “standard candle” for our social design in the indifferent universe.
“Eusocial”: A term in evolutionary biology that identifies an evolutionary strategy to achieve survival by a male, female, and offspring remaining together after mating, instead of dispersing back into individual existence, and typified by building a nest and defending it. Our species ability to create organic fire is typically attributed to the success of our human nests, including subsequent ability to successful tribalism and the development of technology.
Land-based existence that enables the ability to fire, including size large enough for mammalian eusocial humans to develop big brains, opposable thumbs, and strength to carry and manipulate large objects, are the adaptations that have produced our species superior ability compared for example, to the compromised smaller and less intelligent physiology of eusocial insects.
The evolutionary strategy of eusociality has many significant ramifications for human existence, opposed to the extended phenotypes of ant colonies. One is the importance of the nuclear family in human society. When a male and female defend a nest, any others that also get defended must typically have a high degree of genetic relation to the male and female. In fact, the diminishing genetic relationship of 50% to the children, then 25% to grandchildren, and 12% to great grandchildren, etc…, is representative of the resources and defense spent on others. One consequence is that without a nuclear family support group, individuals and extended family frequently become dependent on friends and social programs.
Because the evolutionary strategy of eusociality causes human society to function through intensely emotional yet relatively short-term nuclear relationships, where the resources and defense spent on those outside the nuclear relationships is minimal, many individuals have a constant need yet difficult time influencing help from friends and social programs. This condition designs the need for new nuclear relationships to be forged through sexuality, and is complimented by inheritance. Eusociality also promotes promiscuity, population growth, and an aversion to social programs, where resources and defense that get spent on those outside the nuclear relationships is resented.
The genetic determinism of eusociality is not consistent with a progressive democracy seeking harmony through multiculturalism, globalization, or the systems-based solutions of science acting in unification with the physics-governed natural environment. The genetic determinism of eusociality is only consistent with the "extended phenotype" of tribalism, where resources and defense are spent on those of genetically similar origin, and where tribalism improves the chances of nuclear families survival against other tribes.
“Tribalism”: Proceeding from the foundation of eusociality, nesting, and defense, tribalism identifies genetic expansion and the accumulation of nests to produce a group or “tribe”, which is the equivalent of a “colony” in eusocial insects. We might consider our cities the equivalent of anthills, and our buildings the equivalent of termite mounds. Intrinsic to eusociality, nesting, and defense, including low-tech ability to only cover a certain amount of ground in one day, tribalism is highly integrated with defending a territorial radius. Because of genetic expansion and the accumulation of nests, including defending these territorial radiuses in relationship to limiting resources, tribalism demonstrates extreme territorial aggression towards other tribes.
Consequently, militarism remains the primary institution of “eusocial/tribal” species spanning the territorial radiuses and limiting resources that both ant colonies and low-tech human tribalism are each subject to. Humans have used increasing technology to expand the territorial radiuses and limiting resources that they are subject to, which we call imperialism, empire, and the free market, including liberty and freedom. This effort however, has occurred subject to the biological determinisms of low-tech tribalism simply repeating itself in escalation from tribes to chiefdoms to states*, which has produced the effect of primitive human tribalism consuming planet Earth as instinctually and deterministically as a mold would consume a prepared culture in a Petri dish. Homo sapiens demonstrate militaristic and growth-oriented biological determinism consistent with all species that attempt to dominate the environment genetically and territorially.
Virtually all human instincts and institutions have evolved in response to tribalism defending a territorial radius, even when that radius “moves” through hunting-gathering including expands as a militaristic and growth-oriented entity. These instincts/institutions (“gene-culture theory”) identify militarism, religion, politics, economics, and culture all developing in response to tribalism. To demonstrate this point, I identify that without tribalism, none of our militarism, religion, politics, economics, and culture makes any sense; meaning, if human culture wasn’t defending tribalism, we wouldn’t need to use militarism, religion, politics, economics, and culture as we do. Consequently, I challenge one to “lose their tribalism” and see how that affects their interpretation of these institutions. One might consider this work a thought experiment exploring the ability to deconstruct tribalism and “lose our tribalism”, including produce a superior sustainable social design alternative through artificial selection and logic.
Moreover, I demonstrate that solving the ubiquitous problems of the human condition, including global warming, requires abandoning tribalism and replacing this obsolete biological determinism with science-based social design. Fundamentally, if we are not prepared to “fix” tribalism with a top-down science-based solution through anti-theist eco-socialism that functions in direct opposite of the militarism, religion, politics, economics, and culture that all developed in response to “tribalism without reason”, we cannot fix the ubiquitous problems of the human condition, including that cause global warming. I avoid subscribing to the assertion that some problems have no solutions, when solutions are attainable by overcoming the vestigial organ of obsolete genetic evolution with progressive cultural evolution.
“Multi-level Selection”: The new paradigm in evolutionary biology for “eusocial/tribal” species spanning ants to humans, which identifies “individual-level selection” and “group-level selection” working together to design a successful survival strategy. In human society, the dynamics of these two levels of selection working together, including exploiting each other, have developed in response to tribalism to produce the ubiquitous instincts/institutions of militarism, religion, politics, economics, and culture that define the human condition.
Religion is ubiquitous to tribalism, which is now commonly identified to bind a tribe in unity to defeat the territorial enemy, including enable various aspects of multi-level selection subject to low-tech tribalism spanning ethics to interpreting the natural environment. While militarism and slavery are behaviors shared by both ants and humans, a significant difference exists between the multi-level selection of eusocial insects and humans. Human multi-level selection is compromised by religion, which is proven illogical, easily exploitable, and to cause physical damage. Consequently, the “Achilles heel” of human tribalism is religion to compromise the function of militarism, politics, economics, and culture, which all developed in response to “tribalism without reason”.
Alternatively, the multi-level selection of eusocial insects remains uncompromised by this illogic, exploitation, and physical damage, and consequently their function remains “objective” and sustainable. Religion is a biological determinism and a manifestation of human creativity developed in response to ignorance and primitive low-tech tribalism negotiating the physics-governed natural environment. Meanwhile, our species ability through “biology with technology” has changed, and our situation has changed through global warming, which identifies producing a cultural evolution solution that objectifies our biological function to become sustainable.
Like an adult cringing at the quality of art they produced as a child, in no way will loosing religion that is illogical, easily exploitable, and causes physical damage to enable “tribalism without reason” cause Homo sapiens to lose their ability to perform superior social design and creativity. Currently, performing superior social design and creativity identifies objectifying our biological function in relationship to the primitive damaging biological determinism of “tribalism without reason” to cause conservative interpretations of militarism, religion, politics, economics, and culture that cause and exacerbate religio-economic horror for the multitude, and global warming horror for everyone.
“Tribalism without Reason”: A term I developed to describe the biological determinism of tribalism compromised by the illogic, exploitability, and physical damage of religion, including influencing and compromising the function of militarism, politics, economics, and culture. As identified, religion is ubiquitous to tribalism to bind a tribe in unity to defeat the territorial enemy, including benefit various aspects of multi-level selection subject to low-tech tribalism. In addition, the concept of “reason” is a convention in atheism, and many atheists, evolutionary biologists, and philosophers have made profound applications of reason, so I follow the convention in my development of philosophy. Nevertheless, the synonyms for “reason” are rather underwhelming, and I suggest the reader compliments the convention of “reason” with the synonyms for “truth”. To summarize the point of “tribalism without reason”, I identify that natural selection has occurred absent from reason.
The consequences of tribalism without reason are extensively negative. One consequence is our species cannot step outside “the box” of our “cultural survival vehicles” for one second. Tribes will speak different languages, promote different origin stories, and perform petty feuds, raids, and revenge killings for centuries while existing only a mile apart rather than perform unification between tribes. Another consequence is inability to determine our institutions in unification with the physics-governed natural hierarchy instead of a supernatural god-governed afterlife hierarchy, which prevents us from overcoming global warming. Another consequence is we are unable to escape obsolete biological determinisms that promote conservative interpretations of militarism, religion, politics, economics, and culture, which prevents us from overcoming religio-economic and global warming horror.
“Church-State Exceptionalism without Reason”: A term I developed to demonstrate our “cultural survival vehicles” determined by tribalism, and tribalism without reason. As identified, the biological determinism of eusociality and nesting produces militarism responding to tribal defense and the acquisition of limiting resources subject to a territorial radius. In addition, religion is ubiquitous to tribalism to bind a tribe in unity and defeat the territorial enemy, including facilitate various aspects of multi-level selection subject to low-tech tribalism. Consequently, tribalism, and tribalism without reason, has ubiquitously produced church-state systems, which identifies symbiosis between religion and the state, and that the state largely represents militarism.
Upward mobility in our institutions, for example business and economics, mimics the hierarchy of militarism through the nomenclature of “Chief Financial Officer” and “Chief Executive Officer”. In addition, the Executive Branch of government that governs the military uses the nomenclature of “Chief of Staff”, “Vice President”, and “President” that is effectively a “five star general”. There are a lot of “chiefs” and “presidents” in tribalism, because tribalism is intrinsically militaristic, which identifies male dominance hierarchy. Religion that binds a tribe in unity to defeat the territorial enemy is demonstrated to be equally integrated with militarism and male dominance hierarchy.
Evolutionary biology identifies that tribalism is ubiquitous to human evolution, and that each and every cultural survival vehicle has produced tribalism without reason and a church-state system. Nevertheless, each and every cultural survival vehicle identifies tribalism without reason to consider itself exceptional, and entitled. Exceptional and entitled enough so that tribes will exist only a mile apart yet speak different languages, promote different origin stories (religions), and perform centuries of petty feuds, raids, and revenge killings on neighboring tribes rather than perform unification between tribes. This “exceptionalness” and “entitlement” is what we call “sovereignty” and “national exceptionalism”, including empire, imperialism, liberty and freedom, which clearly occurs through tribalism without reason to produce church-state exceptionalism without reason.
“The Genetic Expansion and Territorial Aggression of Church-State Exceptionalism without Reason”: A term I developed to demonstrate and integrate the biological determinism of eusociality and tribalism with church-state systems. The biological determinism of eusociality produces genetic expansion to increase the gene pool (approximately 7 billion and counting), and tribalism produces territorial aggression over limiting resources. When coordinated with church-state exceptionalism without reason, this biological determinism identifies the driving force behind Homo sapiens conservative interpretations of militarism, religion, politics, economics, and culture, each without reason. This biological determinism is responsible for causing social, economic, and environmental horror, because church-state systems must turn money, poverty, and falsehood into violence. Evidence identifies religious wars, laissez faire capitalism used as a tool of church-state war, and repeated world wars, including environmental horror spanning pollution, habitat loss, bio-diversity loss, resource depletion, over-farming, and now global warming.
The more energy you introduce into the equation of “the genetic expansion and territorial aggression of church-state exceptionalism without reason”, for example with fossil fuels, the more we reproduce the biological determinism of “the genetic expansion and territorial aggression of church-state exceptionalism without reason”, which produces the effect of human tribalism without reason consuming planet Earth as instinctually and deterministically as a mold would consume a prepared culture in a Petri dish.
This sensationalist example isn’t intended to be cruel, it is intended to demonstrate that Homo sapiens are an animal subject to biological determinisms that must be managed with reason, not perpetuated through falsehood to enable galactic-class “functional hypocrisy” that eventually catches up with us and kills us with social and environmental implosion. Moreover, we have no excuses because the solution is known to us: Like a child learning not to wet itself, our obsolete damaging biological determinisms are sublimated and managed (domesticated) with sustainability by cultural evolution with reason.
“Religio-Economic”: The biological determinism of low-tech tribalism is intrinsically militaristic and growth-oriented, and has produced ubiquitous tribalism without reason and church-state systems. The study of power between violence, money, and knowledge* identifies that church-state systems must turn money (sovereign currencies), poverty (disparity in wealth), and falsehood (spanning religion to an unscientific unregulated definition of liberty) into violence.
America’s accommodation of tribalism without reason has produced extensive integration between religion and economics. Examples span the phenomenon of an unscientific unregulated definition of liberty that enables religion and disparity in wealth in a symbiotic relationship, the Tea Party, The Republican Party, Neo-conservatives and Theo-conservatives, including economic libertarians such as Ron Paul that doesn’t believe in evolution, “Theo-conservative trickledown Reaganomics”, The Family on C Street, and the tribalism of extremely Jewish Wall Street.
“Cultural Survival Vehicles”: A term developed by Mark Pagel to describe tribalism. I find the significance of this argument to be that, since natural selection produced us, it is reasonable to assume that our cultures developed to promote our survival in response to the ruthless pressures of natural selection. Beyond simply identifying tribalism however, this reasoning helps identify all aspects of tribalism spanning militarism, religion, politics, and economics, including culture, to promote our survival in response to the ruthless pressures of natural selection.
Combined with eusociality and multi-level selection, the framework of “cultural survival vehicles” identifies the immense influence of natural selection acting on our survival determined by tribalism without reason to produce conservative (i.e. ”traditional”) interpretations of militarism, religion, politics, economics, and culture. Alternatively stated, the biological determinism of tribalism produces militarism, religion, politics, economics, and culture responding to the brutal pressures of natural selection to define “traditional” or “conservative” interpretations of institutions. Virtually every colorful variety of tribalism promotes conservative policies that enable “traditional” or “fundamentalist” militarism, religion, politics, economics, and culture, where “progressivism” that challenges conservative policies is routinely antagonistic to convention. The biological determinism of eusociality and tribalism identifies that we are a militaristic species, and that violence is inherent in religion, politics, economics, and culture, which all developed in response to the ruthless pressures of natural selection to promote our survival determined by tribalism.
Fundamentally, we demonstrate violence towards any individual or group that threatens or compromises the ability to conservative interpretations of militarism, religion, politics, economics, and culture, which developed to enable tribalism without reason negotiating the brutal pressures of life and death natural selection. Consequently, virtually all modern “secular progressivism”, including conceptions of “liberty”, “freedom”, and “democracy”, are essentially “centrist” in relationship to maintaining these conservative interpretations of institutions.
It is reasonable to assume that those who gravitate to “fundamentalist” or “conservative” interpretations of institutions demonstrate heightened instinct and/or conservative acculturation, including heightened ability to violence to defend conservative interpretations of institutions developed in response to tribalism without reason negotiating the brutal pressures of life and death natural selection. It is tempting for a secular-progressive to identify that those who gravitate to “fundamentalist” or “conservative” interpretations of institutions demonstrate biological determinism equal to the programming of a soldier ant. The violence of Homo sapiens however, spans the overt conservative authoritarian, to simply endorsing applications of violence to defend conservative interpretations of institutions such as our status quo democratic process does.
First Democracy, and French Enlightenment-influenced democracy, and America’s democracy, are the same old democracy that serves the biological determinism of tribalism without reason as the church-state status quo. Unfortunately, the biological determinism of tribalism without reason produces a closed loop of “negative feedback”, or “negative circular logic”. Everyone is determined by tribalism without reason, so voting through democracy to serve the biological determinism of tribalism without reason as the church-state status quo doesn’t cause these votes to be truthful or sustainable. These votes simply function through a closed loop of “negative circular logic” that serves tribalism without reason, where serving ignorance and falsehood to design violence traps us in a cycle of “negative feedback” that has produced religio-economic and global warming horror. Homo sapiens have voted their way to oblivion, because our votes enable church-state exceptionalism without reason.
Consequently, in the pursuit of truth (which we were all taught science seeks), the atheist and eco-socialist must account social analysis through additional criteria that “politically correct” (centrist) interpretations of science and politics refuse to address, presumably because this analysis exposes and invalidates the entire human condition. Most instinctually trade this unseemly truth for sex, children, a paycheck, and functional hypocrisy to justify the church-state status quo. Functional hypocrisy to justify the church-state status quo is however, juvenile, dismissive, and physically damaging in relationship to the immense social and environmental horrors that beseech us, and loom over us. Consequently, the atheist and eco-socialist are compelled to identify that human tribalism is compromised by the illogic, exploitation, and physical damage of religion, which identifies that militarism, politics, economics, and culture all serve “tribalism without reason”. This unseemly bit of truth exposes and invalidates the entire human condition, which science, politics, and culture must no longer refuse to address if we wish to defeat the Frankenstein monster of global warming.
Every aspect of human existence must now be addressed through the filter of developing in response to the ruthless pressures of natural selection to promote our survival determined by tribalism without reason. The “meanness”* of life and death natural selection identifies dating, love, and relationships governed by the meanness of sexual selection that serves tribalism without reason, it identifies the meanness of ethics that serve tribalism without reason, and it identifies the meanness of militarism, religion, politics, economics, culture, and science itself all serving tribalism without reason. Summation identifies cruelty and insanity determining the rationality of man by serving the functional hypocrisy of tribalism without reason. If one finds rationality, objectivity, grandeur, or honor in this pursuit, one is privy to logic I do not understand, because this condition can be changed through cultural evolution instead of perpetuated and exploited.
The “meanness” of life and death natural selection acting on tribalism without reason identifies galactic-class hypocrisy, and as audacious as it sounds, certain ability to “natural sadism” to define Homo sapiens “natural habitat”, or “state of nature”. E. O. Wilson identifies in “The Social Conquest of Earth” that all people including women and children are capable of atrocities such as torture that treat other tribe’s members as less-than-human in the defense of tribalism. In addition, human tribalism demonstrates ubiquitous ability to slavery and abuse of both one’s own tribe’s members, and other tribe’s members.
Astrobiology identifies primitive evolutionary biology functioning extremely problematically in vast ignorance of and division with the requirements of cosmological construction, for example to produce manmade yet physics-governed global warming. Compliance with the requirements of cosmological construction clearly identifies producing our institutions through matching natural explanations and prioritized relationships in sustainable unification with the natural physics-governed hierarchy.
Evolutionary biology identifies militarism as axiomatic to tribalism, and for the violence of tribal defense and the acquisition of limiting resources to determine the evolution of all the subsequent institutions of tribalism. Religion is identified to bind a tribe in unity to defeat the territorial enemy, including be illogical, easily exploitable, and to cause physical damage, which exploitability aids tribalism without reason. Sexual selection treats members of the same tribe with exclusion and abuse, and predates on other tribes to attain choice females. Tribalism treats members of other tribes as less-than-human to produce routine torture and abuse. Capitalism treats members of the same tribe and other tribes with stratification, exploitation, and abuse. All these instincts/institutions (gene-culture theory) developed in response to and serve tribalism without reason.
Serving tribalism without reason requires and produces an unscientific unregulated definition of individual liberty, which is demonstratively false and damaging. We build more and more prisons and then inflict punishment and abuse in prison instead of rehabilitation. Domestic violence is epidemic because of 30 years of abuse through Theo-conservative trickledown Reaganomics. The poor are condemned to the horrors of sickness, injury, and disease without healthcare by conservative interpretations of economics. Our poor social design produces the homeless and then condemns them with insanity and ostracizes them. We glorify the cunning and sadistic ability of genius serial killers consistent with “blame the individual psychology”, where internal motivation is attributed to our dark nature instead of producing social design solutions. Current trends focusing on self-improvement spanning motivational speakers to the post-modernism of multiple worlds theory and “quantum shift anomaly” all default to “blame the individual psychology”, instead of producing social design solutions. The insanity of tribalism without reason is, the system that can never be at fault is at immense criminal fault, but because the system can never be at fault we must continue to blame the individual for our inability to overcome ultra-primitive biological determinism through secular-progressive cultural evolution.
The final “meanness” of life and death natural selection serving tribalism without reason is the evolutionary arms race that has consumed our primitive species and planet Earth alive through religio-economic horror for the multitude, including pollution, habitat loss, biodiversity loss, resource depletion, over-farming, climate change, and global warming horror for everyone. As it turns out, our “cultural survival vehicles” determined by the falsehood and damage of “tribalism without reason”, which developed in response to ignorance negotiating the ruthless pressures of life and death natural selection, have, in point of fact, killed us. Not only has every empire failed because of tribalism without reason, but tribalism without reason has now caused “biology with technology” to produce global warming for the entire species. Death after all, is a common fate caused by lack of reason.
“Artificial Selection and Logic”
Natural selection is the default evolutionary process of the indifferent universe, which must begin acting on naturally occurring single-celled organisms. Artificial selection identifies manmade influence to perform the selection function typically attributed to natural selection. Artificial selection therefore lends itself to reason and logic, including producing a predictive, intelligent, sustainable product consistent with, or in the case of biology improving through cultural evolution, known cosmological and biological determinisms.
A cosmological determinism we are contemplating breaking through is the boundary of the multiverse to escape universe extinction through the expanding cosmological model. A biological determinism we are contemplating breaking through is the boundary of natural selection, to escape our species extinction caused by tribalism without reason producing manmade yet physics-governed global warming.
A repeated application of logic in this work addresses religion as “illogical, easily exploitable, and to cause physical damage”. This logic was developed by Douglas Krueger in “What is Atheism: A Brief Introduction”, specifically in response to deconstructing “faith-based reasoning”. Logic applied to “faith-based reasoning” identifies how faith-based reasoning, including for example prayer, represents the absence of reason. In addition, Krueger demonstrates how the absence of reason has physical consequences, such as being easily exploitable, and causing physical damage.
The significance of applying reason and logic to biological function is that biology interacts with the “positivism” of the physics-governed natural hierarchy, which designs an environment of physical consequence, for example manmade yet physics-governed global warming. Beyond simply identifying through evolutionary biology what evolution has produced, sentient intelligent biology, specifically “biology with technology”, must also coordinate its function with the physics-governed environment to both avoid negative consequence and design predictive positive consequence.
Ability to demonstrate causality between illogic and the absence of reason to produce physical consequence, such as being easily exploitable and causing physical damage, identifies social science through reductionism to physics. Moreover, we can apply the same logic to the entire human condition determined by ignorance and falsehood to affect instinct and the development of our institutions (gene-culture theory) to cause the same negative consequence of exploitability and physical damage, for example tribalism without reason to cause manmade yet physics-governed global warming.
When we apply logic and reason to human evolution, we identify extensive ignorance, falsehood, exploitation, and physical damage to determine Homo sapiens “natural habitat” or “state of nature”. Social science through reductionism to physics identifies what I characterize as the “Ignorance/Division/Punishment” Causality Model, or “I. D. P. Causality Model”. The “I. D. P.” Causality Model identifies:
· “Ignorance” of:
A) The cosmological determinisms that produced us.
B) The biological determinisms that produced us.
· “Division” with:
A) Cosmological determinism; for example division with the requirements of the natural physics-governed hierarchy, which identifies producing our institutions through matching natural explanations and prioritized relationships to design predictive positive cause and effect consequence.
B) Biological determinism; “division” identifies “exploitation” of biological ignorance, falsehood, and primitive ability through tribalism without reason to affect conservative interpretations of militarism, religion, politics, economics, and culture, including science.
· “Punishment” represents scientifically valid “metaphysical justice” through:
A) Division with the requirements of the natural physics-governed hierarchy and ecosystem, for example to produce pollution, habitat loss, biodiversity loss, resource depletion, over-farming, and manmade yet physics-governed global warming.
B) Exploitation of biological ignorance, falsehood, and primitive ability through tribalism without reason to affect conservative interpretations of militarism, religion, politics, economics, and culture, including science, which causes religio-economic horror for the multitude and global warming horror for everyone.
Natural selection is a mindless process that functions in relationship to physics-governed circumstances, for example adapting eusocial Homo sapiens to the logistics of territorial radiuses to produce tribalism. Natural selection is a mindless process that also functions in relationship to adapting organisms subject to ignorance, to affect instinct, sex, and violence. Consequently, artificial selection and logic should be overcoming primitive low-tech tribalism, including ignorance, instinct, sex, and violence that determine conservative interpretations of militarism, religion, politics, economics, culture, and science, to produce an intelligent, nonviolent, sustainable solution. Artificial selection and logic accomplishes this goal by overcoming the First Cause of “tribalism without reason”, including by producing superior new social design through reverse engineering a sustainable Spaceship Earth that enables universal ethics that satisfy universal physical human needs in a sustainable manner.
“Umwelt”: A term developed by German biologist Jakob von Uexküll to describe an organism’s ability to perceive and negotiate the many manifestations of natural phenomenon. A good example is the ability of insects with infrared vision to see the giant arrows on the inside of flower petals pointing towards the stamen, which are invisible to those without infrared vision. We might consider that information-based existence enables atheists and eco-socialists to possess certain science-based perspective that remains “invisible” to other biological determinism, which nonetheless significantly benefits our species. Meanwhile, defining politics as “the art of the possible” to enlighten those that remain blinded to the truth remains a physical impossibility.
I find the concept of a species “Umwelt” particularly applicable to Homo sapiens development through the biological determinisms of eusociality and tribalism, which idiosyncratic combination is unique to our species. Until very recently, our species has been unaware of how our idiosyncratic eusocial/tribalism (tribalism without reason) determines us through conservative interpretations of militarism, religion, politics, economics, and culture, including science, to promote our survival in response to the ruthless pressures of natural selection. Consequently, it has been virtually impossible to suggest that if we are not prepared to “fix” tribalism with a top-down science-based solution through anti-theist eco-socialism that functions in direct opposite of the militarism, religion, politics, economics, and culture that all developed in response to “tribalism without reason”, we cannot fix the ubiquitous problems of the human condition, including that cause global warming.
“Biology with Technology”: A term I developed to demonstrate Homo sapiens unique relationship with technology. Two factors determine this uniqueness: Our technology serves the biological determinism of tribalism without reason, and our technology is dependent on fossil fuels. This determinism produces an intrinsically problematic situation. Fossil fuels serve church-state exceptionalism without reason to enable predatory globalization through laissez faire capitalism, the global promotion of religious falsehood, and repeated mechanized world wars. In addition, without fossil fuels, virtually every aspect of our technology spanning energy, mobility, food, water, and plastics, including our ability to material science, simply evaporates. In addition of course, fossil fuels are causing global warming.
Consequently, I identify the need to provide a “socio-fix” that minimizes using fossil fuels to enable church-state exceptionalism without reason. Producing this socio-fix would enable Homo sapiens to continue using fossil fuels without burning the world down over obsolete biological determinisms. Meanwhile, every aspect of tribalism without reason remains dependent on producing a techno-fix that will perpetuate the church-state status quo.
The clear alternative that remains lurking low on the list of every American Presidential election ballot is the Environmental and Socialist Parties, i.e. atheistic socialism. The tip of the spear of cultural evolution is pushing hard against tribalism without reason because life wants to live. Unfortunately, the entrenched conservative culture produced by tribalism without reason only responds to bullet-point talking points that enable tribalism without reason, which makes the democratic process unable to promote the human condition with a PhD in scientific socialism. Therefore, the solution to global warming requires a top-down approach that enables science and technology to no longer serve tribalism without reason.
“Climate Change”: The prevailing term in the scientific community to identify the dynamic phenomenon of physics-governed climate conditions, including manmade consequence manifest in the atmosphere and ecosystem.
“Global Warming”: Another prevailing term in the scientific community to identify the dynamic phenomenon of physics-governed climate conditions, and specifically manmade consequences manifest in the atmosphere and ecosystem caused by combusting fossil fuels to produce carbon dioxide. Fundamentally, global warming occurs when man introduces energy into the atmosphere. Currently, that energy is being introduced via the combustion of fossil fuels, which produces carbon dioxide emissions that trap solar energy in the atmosphere. Further emissions could occur if the permafrost defrosts, which will emit vast amounts of even more damaging nitrogen. The science and evidence of global warming is extensive. Top sources are: The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC); The Joint Institute for the Study of the Atmosphere and Ocean (JISAO); and The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
We should remember that the delicately balanced feedback loops of the ecosystem are nonlinear, and if global warming is allowed to escalate, we could all have a very big problem that rapidly becomes unfixable. Some believe global warming has already passed the point of no return, and is consequently unfixable. I think we should at least try. It would be sad to think that we will soon finish in a blaze of glory, and that this might be just as well for a species that would otherwise simply return to a primitive, ignorant, bloody existence through tribalism without reason. The hedonism that this fate inspires is not conducive to the rule of law.
“Manmade yet Physics-Governed Global Warming”: A term I developed to emphasize that mans thoughts, actions, and biological determinism are causing global warming, including demonstrate a “mechanical-social” or “biocentric” relationship that identifies mans thoughts, actions, and biological determinism are governed by physics. This “mechanical-social” relationship is particularly relevant to understanding and managing manmade yet physics-governed global warming. Specifically, it identifies the strategy of adjusting our thoughts and actions that can change in sustainable unification with governing physics that cannot change to overcome global warming.
“Mechanical-Social”: When the reader sees “mechanical” before “social”, it describes “biocentrism”. The thesis this work develops is “Mechanical-Social Integration”, which demonstrates that we either produce our thoughts and actions in unification with governing physics to produce corresponding positive consequence, or in division with governing physics to produce corresponding negative consequence.
“Social-Mechanical”: When the reader sees “social” before “mechanical”, it describes “anthropocentrism”. Identifying our species “social-mechanical” tendencies is usually intended to demonstrate our species idiosyncrasy through eusociality and tribalism without reason to cause our inability to produce our thoughts and actions in unification with governing physics, and correspondingly produce negative consequence.
“Universalism”: A concept I developed to describe a modern progressive political philosophy, specifically one that overcomes the biological determinisms of tribalism without reason, and designs our species actions in sustainable unification with governing physics to additionally overcome manmade yet physics-governed global warming. Of course, I should probably always qualify my development of “universalism” as “the political philosophy of universalism”, to avoid any unintended association with other developments of “universalism”, one of which is a religious endeavor. I apologize for any confusion, and just to be clear “universalism” always means “the political philosophy of universalism” in all my work.
Technically, “universalism” means “the study of turning into one”. “Uni” of course means “one”, and “verse” means “to turn”, and “ism” means “the study of”. In this application, “universal” addresses the known biological determinisms of eusociality and tribalism, including the known cosmological determinisms of the initial conditions of physics to affect causality between mass and motion. In addition, “ism” identifies the study of coordinating the relationship between biology that can change through genetic and cultural evolution with governing physics that cannot change.
A significant application of logic representing “the study of turning into one” with social science through reductionism to physics (alternatively stated as connecting the biocentric with the anthropocentric as a single truthful sustainable linear identity) identifies that the ecosystem only “speaks and understands” (is governed by) the single language of physics. Consequently, if Homo sapiens don’t also learn to “speak and understand” (adjust our function in relationship to) the single language of physics, we attempt the impossible, which is to function in abstraction from the single standard of evaluation of physics that both produced us, and governs us at the highest level of influence and consequence.
My mother enlightened me to the most profound definition of liberty I have yet to encounter: Liberty is the ability to identify and choose the truth. Identifying our biological determinism is not the limit of identifying and choosing the truth; we now identify both the process of cultural evolution and the additional environmental determinism of governing physics, and can therefore choose to coordinate our efforts with this influence to design the success of our species. There is a truism that states, “In the land of truth, the man with a single fact is King”*. The single truth of the physics-governed natural hierarchy produces a single thing: Anti-theist Eco-socialism, i.e. Universalism. I’ll resist the vulgar temptation to declare myself “King of Everything”, but if allegiance to the truth compels you to present me with befitting gifts I will accept your fealty with honorJ.

“Physiosociobiology”: A proposed new science that integrates “astrobiology” with “sociobiology”. I make a case that our species is no longer well-served by our obsolete biological determinisms, for example the genetically determined instincts that sociobiology and “gene-culture” theory identifies, which has produced tribalism without reason to negatively affect both society and the environment. I demonstrate that the ability of “biology with technology” to negatively affect the entire physics-governed ecosystem now requires a reversal of the influence that we allow to affect us, which requires a “culture-gene” relationship (i.e. cultural evolution) to occur through artificial selection and logic.
I argue that the “gene-culture” influence that sociobiology identifies to produce us through tribalism without reason is unsustainable, and that superior new “culture-gene” influence through artificial selection and logic to design our species in unification with the astrobiology of governing physics is now required to enable our species survival in the indifferent universe.
Because of the specific mechanical-social relationship identified through unification with governing physics, I propose this ability as “physiosociobiology”, where social science through reductionism to physics identifies application to design the function and enable the survival of a eusocial/tribal species through science-based social design. Physiosociobiology is a predictive application of science to design predictive benefit, which is suitable to determine the human condition projected out in ten to twenty year increments, each time subject to falsification in the scientific method.
“Universal Ethics”: A concept well-known to ethicists that nevertheless remains elusive to conventional strategies, because ethicists have always attempted to produce “universal ethics” that serve tribalism without reason, and church-state exceptionalism without reason. Alternatively, social science through reductionism to physics identifies producing universal ethics by reverse engineering Spaceship Earth to provide for universal physical human needs in a sustainable manner.
Tribalism identifies militarism and religion to produce ubiquitous church-state systems, where the analysis of power between violence, money, and knowledge identifies that the church-state requires turning money, poverty, and falsehood into violence. Consequently, by abandoning tribalism without reason and church-state systems we can also easily abandon the construct of money, and employ a moneyless resource-based economy. The progressive social design of reverse engineering a sustainable Spaceship Earth makes “supply and demand” a perennially sustainable equation that is custom tailored for a moneyless resource-based economy.
Integrating our anthropocentrism in a sustainable manner with the biocentrism of the physics-governed natural environment identifies reverse engineering a sustainable Spaceship Earth to provide for universal physical human needs in a sustainable manner. Achieving the universal ethics of providing for universal physical human needs in a sustainable manner identifies initially producing two economies. The first economy serves our species idiosyncrasy and anthropocentrism through the institutions of food, water, shelter, sex, education, and art in sustainable biocentrism with the physics-governed natural hierarchy. The second economy achieves “free market” specialization, innovation, and exchange in sustainable unification with the first economy.
By reverse engineering a sustainable Spaceship Earth to provide for universal physical human needs in a sustainable manner, property ownership no longer needs to be determined through the falsehood, predation, and physical damage of church-state exceptionalism without reason. By abandoning tribalism without reason and church-state exceptionalism without reason, both primary and secondary economies can function through a moneyless resource-based economy. In addition, sexual selection can then function autonomously from obsolete biological determinisms that burn the world down while acquiring the “peacock’s tail” of individual-level selection, including reproduce group-level selection through the genetic expansion and territorial aggression of church-state exceptionalism without reason.
“Reverse Engineering”:
Reverse engineering is a term popularized in relationship to beginning with a finished product, and then working the manufacturing and technology necessary to produce it “backwards”. For example, corporations and the military commonly practice espionage to perform reverse engineering on illicitly acquired technology. Reverse engineering can however, be applied to any finished product or given thing, for example the “finished product and given thing” of Spaceship Earth.
Since Earth is a finite thing spanning physical dimensions, physics-governed determinisms, and finite and limiting resources, planet Earth lends itself to the process of reverse engineering to produce a sustainable “Spaceship Earth”. A fundamental relationship that reverse engineering identifies is that Earth is a finite thing that cannot change (certain aspects can however renew itself), while the thoughts and actions of biology can change. Consequently, the application of reverse engineering identified is to account for Earth’s physics-governed determinisms and finite and limiting resources, and then accommodate the thoughts and actions of biology in sustainable unification with that environmental determinism.
“Democracy of Science”: A concept I developed to enable a science-based government. The thesis of “Mechanical-Social Integration” demonstrates that we either produce our thoughts and actions in unification with governing physics to produce corresponding positive consequence, or in division with governing physics to produce corresponding negative consequence. The Democracy of Science navigates issues of government to forward that equation while satisfying our species anthropocentrism by providing for universal physical human needs in a sustainable manner.
The single meme that enables a democracy of science is objectifying our biological function that can change, in sustainable unification with physics-governed environmental determinism that cannot change. Alternatively stated, the single meme that enables a democracy of science is not considering physics-governed environmental determinism a “tyrant” in the traditional sense. Because physics-governed environmental determinism is not a tyrant in the traditional sense, belligerence about forwarding the relationship between biology that can change through cultural evolution in unification with physics-governed environmental determinism that cannot change prevents the entire human condition from evolving to attain truth and sustainability.
The Democracy of Science would require science-based leaders able to navigate issues of government to simultaneously avoid producing negative consequence, and instead produce predictive positive consequence. The Democracy of Science would function in unification with environmental determinism, with global issues addressed by global governance, continental regions addressed by continental governance, environmentally-determined regions addressed by regional governance, and environmentally-determined cities addressed by local governance. Consistent with environmental determinism, the logistics of continents would be redrawn consistent with environmentally-determined regions.
Because each subdivision coordinates with the same environmental determinism, few divisions would be required, and function would remain intuitive, efficient, and sustainable. Through coordination with the same environmental determinism, all the traditional, idealized, and desired aspects of “First Democracy”* would be attained.
· “Freedom from Tyranny and Freedom from Becoming a Tyrant”
The Old: Tribalism without reason serves the multi-level selection of tribalism that is intrinsically militaristic and growth-oriented, including produces church-state systems that must turn money, poverty, and falsehood into violence. Consequently, our conception of “tyranny and freedom from becoming a tyrant” serves the biological determinism of tribalism without reason, which does little else but produce tyrants through the individual-level selection of wishing to become insulated and protected “chiefs and priests” (elites) from the group-level selection of the sacrificial cannon fodder masses subject to church-state systems that must turn money, poverty, and falsehood into violence. In addition, our conception of “tyranny and freedom from becoming a tyrant” serves the biological determinism of producing group-level selection through an unscientific unregulated definition of liberty that enables church-state exceptionalism without reason. If one identifies this situation to represent “freedom from tyranny and freedom from becoming a tyrant”, one is privy to some creative functional hypocrisy.
The fact that we are so immensely biologically determined by tribalism without reason for many to willing sacrifice themselves in the service of national exceptionalism doesn’t change the fact that vast efforts are made both individually and institutionally to enable the production of tyrants through the individual-level selection of becoming insulated and protected “chiefs and priests” (elites) from the group-level selection of the sacrificial cannon fodder masses subject to church-state systems that must turn money, poverty, and falsehood into violence, including produce group-level selection through an unscientific unregulated definition of liberty that enables church-state exceptionalism without reason.
Unfortunately, the ability to become a tyrant that exploits the falsehood and violence of church-state systems that must turn money, poverty, and falsehood into violence constitutes our very definition of “liberty”, “justice”, “freedom”, and “democracy”. Unfortunately for convention, two-thousand-year-old First Democracy cannot withstand reason applied to evolutionary biology in the 21st century.
The New: Unification with environmental determinism overcomes the biological determinism of tribalism without reason and church-state systems to reverse engineer a sustainable Spaceship Earth and provide for universal physical human needs in a sustainable manner, which can be accommodated with “two economies”, including through a moneyless resource-based economy. In addition, sexual selection can then function autonomously from individual-level selection burning the world down acquiring the peacock’s tail*, including group-level selection reproducing the genetic expansion and territorial aggression of church-state exceptionalism without reason.
· “Harmony”
The Old: Currently, our conception of “harmony” is to serve the diversity of tribalism without reason, tribalism that is intrinsically militaristic and growth-oriented, and conservative interpretations of militarism, religion, politics, economics, and culture, including science, which serve church-state systems that must turn money, poverty, and falsehood into violence. The microenvironment of techno-elites that Wikinomics and the Rational Optimist enable doesn’t function in a vacuum from tribalism without reason, tribalism that is intrinsically militaristic and growth-oriented, and conservative interpretations of militarism, religion, politics, economics, culture, and science that serve church-state systems that must turn money, poverty, and falsehood into violence, including produces manmade yet physics-governed global warming. Thinking a species can achieve “harmony” by serving this ignorance, falsehood, and violence to define liberty, justice, freedom, or democracy, let alone environmental sustainability, is demonstratively impossible. It doesn’t work on paper, and it doesn’t work in reality.
If harmony is the most important thing, that is quite unfortunate, because harmony is the least likely thing that tribalism without reason can achieve. Consequently, America’s attempt at accommodating tribalism without reason is certainly nowhere near “the world’s last best hope”. Alternatively, a modern progressive political philosophy such as Universalism that understands cosmological and biological determinisms, and designs biocentrism and anthropocentrism as a single truthful sustainable linear identity demonstrates far superior ability.
The New:
Unification with environmental determinism overcomes the disconnect between the natural physics-governed hierarchy and a manmade supernatural god-governed afterlife hierarchy. Unification with environmental determinism enables reverse engineering a sustainable Spaceship Earth to provide for universal physical human needs in a sustainable manner. Unification with environmental determinism puts us all on the same page of the natural physics-governed hierarchy, which enables our institutions through matching natural explanations and prioritized relationships in unification with governing physics to design cause and effect in our species favor. Unification with environmental determinism connects the biocentic with the anthropocentric to produce social and environmental harmony as one linear, truthful, sustainable identity.
· “The Rule of Law”
The Old: “Liberty” and “justice” always exist in a binary relationship. Through tribalism without reason however, that binary relationship is primitive, and serves ignorance, falsehood, and violence. Currently, the “rule of law” serves tribalism without reason, tribalism that is intrinsically militaristic and growth-oriented, and the church-state system that must turn money, poverty, and falsehood into violence. Predictably, this primitive biological determinism produces bad law, meaning law that serves falsehood and violence to determine liberty, justice, freedom, and democracy.
Because of tribalism without reason and church-state systems subject to multi-level selection, the rule of law serves an unscientific unregulated definition of “individual liberty” that enables ability for individual-level selection to become an insulated and protected “chief or priest” (elite), and for “justice” to serve “failure in capitalism” as an “objective test” or “fair experiment” suitable to diminish the individual to the group-level selection of the sacrificial cannon fodder masses subject to church-state systems that must turn money, poverty, and falsehood into violence.
Consequently, most consider the concept of “individual liberty” governed by capitalism extremely important, including to constitutive “objectivity”, because it determines the ability of individual-level selection to become an insulated and protected “chief or priest” (“elite”), and for “justice” to serve “failure in capitalism” to rightfully diminish the individual to the group-level selection of the sacrificial masses subject to church-state systems that must turn money, poverty, and falsehood into violence. The entire process is however, immensely hypocritical, and serves no objectivity, because church-state systems must turn money, poverty, and falsehood into violence anyway. Consequently, the church-state produces social design that ensures the ability turn money, poverty, and falsehood into violence through trickle-down and supply-side economics, corporate socialism, selling the consent of the governed to special interests groups, introducing a wage-slave labor class, including enabling all the self-promoting cliques of tribalism without reason, and then blames the individual that “fails in capitalism” to rightfully diminish them into the group-level selection of the sacrificial masses for designed consequences that enable church-state systems.
It’s all rather sickening, and vastly foolproof to expose and invalidate. Even if society functioned through individual liberty screened by capitalism to produce “the haves” and the “have not’s” absent from serving church-state systems, that social design is naturally sadistic and doesn’t enable the collective systems-based effort necessary to design our species efforts in unification with the natural physics-governed hierarchy and overcome global warming. Solutions for the human condition are no longer found by enabling either individual-level or group-level selection serving the obsolete damaging biological determinism of natural selection.
Currently, the rule of law serves obsolete damaging biological determinism and a false damaging unscientific unregulated definition of individual liberty that cannot possibly be scientifically correct, which designs religio-economic horror for the multitude and global warming horror for everyone. Clearly, the rule of law serving tribalism without reason doesn’t constitute truth, or scientifically valid liberty, justice, freedom, democracy or sustainability consistent with social science in the 21st century.
The New: Alternatively, unification with environmental determinism produces the rule of law through artificial selection and logic that connects the biocentric with the anthropocentric as a single truthful sustainable linear identity to establish a scientifically valid relationship between liberty and justice, including determine scientifically valid freedom, democracy, and sustainability. Unification with environmental determinism designs the laws of physics in unification with the laws of manmade reality to produce scientifically valid concepts and institutions. Consequently, justice in the Democracy of Science defends those that identify and choose the truth of the natural physics-governed hierarchy, not tribalism without reason, church-state exceptionalism without reason, and enabling individual-level or group-level selection through social design that is naturally sadistic.
· “Natural Equality”
The Old: Economic libertarians don’t believe in natural equality, which is one reason they don’t like democracy. I’ve had economic libertarians in influential positions assert to me that Homo sapiens state of nature produces “type 1” and “type 2” people, where “type 2” people are lazy, criminal, and suitable for “throwing the key away” on, including other unpleasant punishments. Those dated assertions never were consistent with mainstream evolutionary biology. Such “economic libertarianism” is now identified as natural sadism maintaining tribalism without reason masquerading as objectivity while responding to the multi-level selection of chiefs, priests, and the cannon fodder sacrificial masses subject to church-state systems that must turn money, poverty, and falsehood into violence. Meanwhile, economic libertarianism is considered esoteric information suitable for the high council of American Presidents. Since Theo-conservative Reagan and Bush Jr. however, information suitable for the high council of American Presidents doesn’t necessarily impress me.
Meanwhile, church-state systems must turn money, poverty, and falsehood into violence, which demonstrates the hypocritical manipulation of multi-level selection through the falsehood, exploitation, and violence of religion, trickle-down and supply-side economics, and an expanding prison system to ensure that ability. To that effect, I routinely hear American Presidents address the nation with the ultimatums of economic libertarianism softened-up and dummied-down with rhetoric and propaganda that transmogrifies the falsehood and violence of the church-state into the feel-good concepts of “liberty”, “freedom”, and “democracy”.
Unfortunately for church-state systems, natural equality identifies that if everyone can vote, a well-educated multitude will vote for egalitarian policies. Consequently, preventing both a well-educated multitude and egalitarian policies from occurring on ballots is routine status quo hypocrisy for church-state laissez faire capitalist democracy. Deconstructing FDR’s New Deal middle class with three decades of trickle-down and supply-side economics, including openly promoting Christian religion and Creationism, is evidence of this cynical regressive Neo-conservative, Theo-conservative, and Economic Libertarian agenda. In addition, it takes the constant pounding by the highest authority figure in the land repeatedly transmogrifying the falsehood and violence of the church-state into the feel-good concepts of liberty, freedom, and democracy, to influence the multitude to vote for “libertarian” laissez faire capitalist and religious policies that actually prevent secular-progressive egalitarianism as a good thing.
Natural equality in America has been dimmed to a dull intellectual glow by serving the primitive biological determinism of church-state systems, including the oxymoron of a church-state system that promotes economic libertarianism as the highest ability to objectivity during the hypocritical manipulation of multi-level selection through falsehood, exploitation, and violence to turn money, poverty, and falsehood into violence.
The New: Unification with environmental determinism identifies natural equality through reverse engineering a sustainable Spaceship Earth to provide for universal physical human needs in a sustainable manner, which can be accommodated with “two economies”, including through a moneyless resource-based economy. Unification with environmental determinism identifies natural equality through an ecosystem that only speaks and understands the single language of physics, where Homo sapiens also speak and understand the single language of physics to produce the highest level of influence and consequence in our species favor. Unification with environmental determinism produces natural equality through sexual selection can function autonomously from individual-level selection burning the world down acquiring the peacock’s tail, including group-level selection reproducing the genetic expansion and territorial aggression of church-state exceptionalism without reason. Unification with environmental determinism identifies natural equality by connecting the biocentric with the anthropocentric as a single, truthful, sustainable linear identity.
· “Citizen Wisdom”
The Old: The aristocracy still doubts and diminishes citizen wisdom, for example through the ulterior agenda of Neo-conservatives, Theo-conservatives, and economic libertarians, which clearly serve conservative interpretations of militarism, religion, politics, economics, and culture, including science. Nothing pissed this aristocracy off more than FDR’s New Deal producing middle class affluence resulting in secularism, atheism, environmentalism, and socialism. The culmination of secular-progressivism as a permanent institution was bad; and now, cultural evolution to identify anti-theist eco-socialism must be like Satan himself walking the Earth.
Nevertheless, we might characterize old citizen wisdom, for example the Founding Fathers, to represent the accommodation of tribalism, and tribalism without reason, as the best social design compromise available. I consider the foundation of America to be built on the concept of “deism”, which I interpret to represent the ability of science and religion to peacefully coexist. Fundamentally, deism is the logic upon which the accommodation of tribalism without reason was founded on as our best ability to social design. The relative success of America during its formative agrarian years promoted the assertion that deism had produced a “fair experiment”, and a successful experiment. That assertion however, was premature and incorrect due to the development of “biology with technology” that could negatively affect the entire planetary ecosystem.
Given the ubiquitous nature of tribalism without reason, making such a deistic accommodation was a good idea at the time. Unfortunately, time is never going to heal the wound of the schism between the natural physics-governed hierarchy and a manmade supernatural god-governed afterlife hierarchy. Deism can accommodate low-tech tribalism such as the agrarianism the Founding Fathers responded to, but “biology with technology” is able to negatively affect the entire physics-governed ecosystem. This circumstance requires that we apply logic to the function of biology, which invalidates the old crutch of deism, including the primitive obsolete biological determinism of tribalism without reason. In relationship to “biology with technology”, the only wound time will heal is the tragedy of returning biology to the grim fate of tribalism without reason until extinction in “Madmaxville”.
Unfortunately, because we have not evolved our culture quickly enough, we still try to defend the false duplicitous concept of deism to accommodate tribalism without reason, including represent our best ability to social design. Consequently, tribalism without reason still determines the church-state, which must turn money, poverty, and falsehood into violence, and therefore manipulates multi-level selection through falsehood and violence to accomplish that agenda. In addition, citizen wisdom is compromised by the constant pounding of the highest authority figure in the land repeatedly transmogrifying the falsehood and violence of the church-state into the feel-good concepts of liberty, freedom, and democracy, to influence the multitude to accept the church-state status quo and vote for policies that actually prevent egalitarianism as the definition of liberty and freedom to determine our dysfunctional democracy.
The New: Citizen Wisdom is both immensely biologically determined by tribalism without reason to embrace conservative interpretations of militarism, religion, politics, economics, culture, and science, including manipulated by the church-state to accommodate turning money, poverty, and falsehood into violence. If natural selection determines citizen wisdom, and natural selection is “smarter than we are”, one might wonder why is it so easy to deconstruct and invalidate tribalism without reason, including to cause our species possible extinction through manmade yet physics-governed global warming, including identify natural selection returning biology to the grim fate of tribalism without reason until extinction in “Madmaxville”. Consequently, citizen wisdom is difficult to quantify, where the science of every culture has served the national exceptionalism of tribalism without reason with no self-awareness of it, including produced no objective sustainable social design, and allowed global warming to occur.
Unfortunately, there’s not much good to say about “new citizen wisdom”, except to identify that we need to step outside of this “cultural box” determined by tribalism without reason to objectify our biological function in the physics-governed indifferent universe if we wish to become sustainable. The good news is that the building block of deism effectively introduced and enabled science into entrenched church-state social design, which may allow the intellectual development necessary to evolve and transcend the construct of deism. The good news is our species ability to cultural evolution, including through cognitive-based, science-based, systems-based social design. When we do step outside of the “cultural box”, unification with environmental determinism identifies superior new citizen wisdom to overcome the obsolete damaging biological determinism of tribalism without reason, including conservative interpretations of militarism, religion, politics, economics, culture, and science, to enable vastly superior new ability to social and environmental sustainability.
· “Reasoning without Knowledge”
The Old: We might consider traditional applications of “reasoning without knowledge” to address examples of the democratic processes occurring naturally in biology, such as schools of fish, flocks of birds, and Red-Tailed Deer*, including to accommodate past lesser ability with human social design. Nevertheless, I view “reasoning without knowledge” to be largely “apologist” in function.
Given the biological determinism of tribalism without reason to produce conservative interpretations of militarism, religion, politics, economics, and culture, including the church-state hammering concepts like liberty, freedom, and democracy into the misshapen purpose of serving turning money, poverty, and falsehood into violence, it seems likely that “reasoning without knowledge” simply serves this primitive biological determinism to constitute “reason” and “wisdom”. How can “reasoning without knowledge” be applicable to the democratic process when natural selection itself has occurred absent from reason, and only sophisticated scientific ability to identify cosmological and biological determinisms can possibly benefit “biology with technology” to design social and environmental sustainability?
The New: Unification with environmental determinism identifies superior new ability to make informed, educated, and wise decisions. Unification with environmental determinism requires both reason and sophisticated knowledge of cosmological and biological determinisms, which were unavailable to past generations of humanity. We might consider however, “reasoning without knowledge” to represent the bold ability to perform a predictive application of social science, where unification with environmental determinism constitutes scientific validity sufficient to perform 10 to 20 year applications, with each application subject to falsification in the scientific method.
· “Education”
The Old: The modern High School is clearly a factory for reproducing tribalism, including tribalism without reason. Institutions identify sports-warriors, sexual selection cheerleaders, marching war-drum musicians, and elder-teachers that each reproduce status quo sovereign cultural survival vehicles. Criticism of American schools mimicking the “Prussian Military Model” makes vast sense in relationship to the biological determinism of tribalism, tribalism that is intrinsically militaristic and growth-oriented, and church-state systems that must turn money, poverty, and falsehood into violence.
The “cog in the wheel” criticism of conformist cookie-cutter education during industrialism and world war is now also identified to clearly serve the group-level selection of the sacrificial masses serving tribalism that is intrinsically militaristic and growth-oriented, including church-state systems that must turn money, poverty, and falsehood into violence. Doing well in school is no joke (alternatively viewed, a galactic-class practical joke) in a world determined by ultra-primitive biological determinism that exploits falsehood and violence.
Doing well in school makes the difference between achieving individual-level selection to become an insulated and protected “chief or priest” (elite), or diminishing to the group-level selection of the sacrificial masses subject to church-state systems that must turn money, poverty, and falsehood into violence. It’s no wonder smart young people have adverse reactions to school authority that pumps out tyrants that exploit falsehood and violence defined as liberty, freedom, and democracy, right alongside the cannon fodder sacrificial masses subject to this falsehood and violence qualified as “education”. Of course this multi-level selection biological warfare has produced elitist private schools and an attack on public schools.
The New: Unification with environmental determinism identifies superior new ability to knowledge of, and negotiation with, cosmological and biological determinisms, including human social design. Only education can forward applications of artificial selection and logic to overcome the influence of mindless natural selection that designs ignorance, instinct, sex, and violence through tribalism without reason. Only education can enable the cognitive-based, science-based, and systems-based social design that designs predictive positive consequence from the indifferent universe. The new school model deemphasizes the influence of mindless natural selection that designs ignorance, instinct, sex, and violence through tribalism without reason, and regulates the cliques of tribalism to produce graduating collectivity with reason that can perform the required systems-based solution for global warming.
The Old: Unfortunately for convention, two-thousand-year-old First Democracy cannot withstand reason applied to cosmological and biological determinisms identified in the 21st century. Given the exponential novelty, acceleration, and change of science in society, this Future Shock* applied to democracy shouldn’t surprise anyone. Someday, this process of deconstruction, invalidation, and new social design may be seen as a quaint old exercise, because unification with environmental determinism is the new status quo. It is reasonable to predict that once initiated, ten to twenty year projections of science-based social design remain impervious to falsification.
The New: Unification with environmental determinism designs the traditional, idealized, and desired aspects of First Democracy, spanning freedom from tyranny and freedom from becoming a tyrant, harmony, the rule of law, natural equality, citizen wisdom, reasoning without knowledge, and education, to produce both society and environment as one linear, truthful, sustainable identity. Producing this linear, truthful, sustainable identity may enable the Democracy of Science to function in a streamlined manner that abbreviates the tenets of First Democracy into a more efficient institution.
Conclusion to the Universal Dictionary
By abandoning tribalism without reason and church-state systems, an entire universe of options and sustainable solutions open up to us through artificial selection and logic. The fact that we aren’t commonly identifying and debating this universe of options and sustainable solutions in the capitalist press is not smart; manmade yet physics-governed global warming dictates that we must explore these possibilities in the indifferent universe. If we continue to enable tribalism without reason and church-state systems however, these options and solutions remain closed, and the human condition will continue to be produced through obsolete biological determinisms that causes religio-economic and global warming horror.
During the greatest wealth and plenty in human history, our obsolete biological determinism has produced the highest disparity of wealth to poverty, fundamentalist religion to affect society and all three branches of government, and environmental abuse spanning pollution, habitat loss, biodiversity loss, resource depletion, over-farming, and of course climate change and global warming. During the greatest wealth and plenty in human history, American Presidents face the embarrassment of a weak state of union where a single medical emergency, or unforeseen emergency of virtually any kind, routinely causes its citizens hardship, bankruptcy, and even homelessness. That’s despicable. Clearly, it’s time for a wholesale change in Homo sapiens social design that overcomes our obsolete biological determinism. It’s time to trade what the mindless process of natural selection that acts on every single-celled organism has produced, for what the single exception of the greatest intelligence on Earth in four billion years can produce, through artificial selection and logic.
Preface
What’s the most disgusting thing in the world? Easy: Torture in all its manifestations, including global warming, caused by tribalism without reason and church-state exceptionalism without reason.
Synopsis
There are two strategies for fixing global warming. The first is to continue as we are, and produce a “techno-fix”. The second is to change our behavior through a “socio-fix”. This work identifies that continuing as we are and producing a “techno-fix” will not solve global warming, because this strategy serves a fundamentally flawed and unworkable human condition determined by “tribalism without reason”, and “church-state exceptionalism without reason”. “Tribalism without reason” and “church-state exceptionalism without reason” will function through a hunting-gathering or agrarian mode of production, but not through a technological mode of production. The dynamics of tribalism without reason identify that even an infinite free sustainable energy source such as deuterium-based cold fusion would be corrupted by church-state exceptionalism without reason into worldwide social and economic dysfunction.
Abstract
My development of philosophy synthesizes known cosmological and biological determinisms to enable a truthful sustainable political philosophy for Homo sapiens. I see a clear need to synthesize sociobiology with astrobiology to defeat manmade yet physics-governed global warming (proposed physiosociobiology). This effort produces a philosophy of biocentrism that enables our species idiosyncrasy (our species eusocial and tribal “Umwelt”*), and anthropocentrism (identified as universal physical human needs), in a sustainable manner.
Introduction
The re-popularization of “Gilded Age positivism”* identifies reductionism to biology, chemistry, and genetics through poorly interpreted Darwinism, which has led to social Darwinism, eugenics, and a tendency to conflate capitalism with natural selection to represent “objectivity” and “objectivism” (i.e. economic libertarianism). Some of these shortcomings are valid criticisms of the “New Atheists”, which unfortunately reflect tribalism, including in response to the 9/11 attack. Far more damaging however, has been conflating capitalism with natural selection to represent “objectivity” and “objectivism”, which has undermined the middle class and social safety net, including an empire and a planet.
Nevertheless, “positivism” can still be valid (scientific empiricism applied to human affairs) - because some aspects of the universe are knowable and quantifiable - consequently I identify positivism through reductionism to “classical” physics. I perform reductionism in relationship to classical physics, or what is commonly identified as “the physics of the big”. This reductionism is most appropriate, because the classical physics that govern “the physics of the big” governs physical consequence for our bodies, minds, the planet, the atmosphere, and global warming.
Consequently, given application to our bodies, minds, the planet, the atmosphere, and global warming, a most interesting and telling question is: Why isn’t the free marketplace of ideas being flooded with social science through reductionism to classical physics? Man caused global warming, but classical physics clearly govern global warming, so why not perform social science through reductionism to classical physics to solve the problem?
The answer is that our species “Umwelt”* - our species idiosyncratic ability to perceive and negotiate the natural environment - views the world through a “social-mechanical” relationship (an anthropocentric relationship), where Homo sapiens come first in relationship to the natural world. Alternatively, we could view the world through a “mechanical-social” relationship (a biocentric relationship), where for example, governing physics that govern both global warming and Homo sapiens come first, and the idiosyncratic aspects of Homo sapiens come second. Moreover, I demonstrate how to coordinate both relationships, where a political philosophy of biocentrism also serves our species anthropocentrism in a sustainable manner. Willingness and ability to coordinate both biocentric and anthropocentric relationships in a sustainable manner is noteworthy, because many biocentrist’s simply wish to wipe Homo sapiens off the face of Gaia.
Because our species views the world through a “social-mechanical” anthropocentric relationship, it is alien for us to think of putting the “mechanical” aspects of the physics-governed indifferent universe first, and the “us/social” second. So, the free marketplace of ideas has flooded with science through reductionism to classical physics to solve global warming, but the entire relationship has occurred through a “social-mechanical” filter. This “social-mechanical” filter causes us to pursue “techno-fixes” that serve our species problematic idiosyncrasy and anthropocentrism - specifically tribalism without reason and church-state exceptionalism without reason - instead of through “socio-fixes” that design our species actions in unification with the biocentrism of the physics-governed natural environment.
Fundamentally, in relationship to the biocentrism of the physics-governed natural environment, our conception of “individual liberty”, “freedom”, “economics”, and “democracy” is vastly flawed. Consequently, our species social-mechanical anthropocentrism causes us to diminish democracy into enabling the falsehood, exploitation, and physical damage of religion* and growth-model laissez faire capitalism on a finite planet, in direct conflict with the requirements of the physics-governed natural environment. When such a fundamentally truthful and physically consequential aspect of our species existence is so far “out of whack” with physics-governed physical reality, it is global warming time for our idiosyncratic species to take appropriate notice, and rectify the situation. The tragedy of course, is what use is intelligent ability to identify this situation when the human condition is diminished into dysfunction and premature extinction by the tyranny of the majority determined by tribalism without reason.
Manmade yet physics-governed global warming identifies that the physics-governed natural environment produces actual requirements that “biology with technology” must now comply with to design both social and environmental sustainability. Reductionism to physics identifies that Homo sapiens must produce our institutions through matching natural explanations for a naturally occurring physics-governed environment, which invalidates religion. In addition, through matching prioritized relationships in unification with governing physics, which invalidates growth-model laissez faire capitalism on a finite planet. Social science through reductionism to physics identifies both religion and growth-model laissez faire capitalism on a finite planet as false, damaging, obsolete institutions that must be abolished just as slavery was, and replaced with a new science-based belief system and mode of production.
Our species information-based existence is entirely capable of, including inclined to, producing such “socio-fixes”, and every once in a while a new political philosophy is designed such as the Founding Fathers and Karl Marx that produces just such a “socio-fix”. Unfortunately, evolutionary biology identifies that all past attempts at producing “socio-fixes” in point of fact served the same biological determinisms of eusociality and tribalism, specifically tribalism without reason and church-state exceptionalism without reason, which is why Marxism represented the “communist version” of America*.
Circa 2012, manmade yet physics-governed global warming clearly identifies that it’s time for another such “socio-fix”; this time one that integrates “biology with technology”* with the physics-governed indifferent universe in a sustainable manner. Despite the impending doom of global warming - we might consider ourselves lucky in this endeavor - because for the first time in history we can design a “socio-fix” based on a scientific understanding of cosmological and biological determinisms that were unavailable to previous generations of humanity.
* * * * *
Science identifies classical physics to explain, and therefore provide the single standard of evaluation for, the physical causality and consequence – either positive or negative - that affects the human body, what our minds tell our bodies to do, planet Earth, the atmosphere, and global warming. Of course, we typically judge physical causality to produce “positive” or “negative” consequence relative to our individual person, or individual-level selection. For example, with unfortunate accidents, or alternatively, successfully performing physical tasks that promote our existence. In addition however, physics-governed physical causality also applies to producing “positive” or “negative” consequence relative to our entire species group-level selection, where “biology with technology” is now negatively impacting the entire planet, and where “biology with technology” is currently determined by tribalism without reason.
Consequently, to solve manmade yet physics-governed global warming, our species relationship with the natural environment will need to occur through a “mechanical-social” filter. A “mechanical-social” filter causes us to pursue “socio-fixes” that design our species actions in gross social unification with governing physics, in addition to producing “techno-fixes” that put Band-Aid’s on our actions in relationship to governing physics, while simultaneously avoiding enabling tribalism without reason. This “Mechanical-Social Integration” strategy identifies the most comprehensive social engineering ever attempted.
Mechanical-Social Integration identifies that what the mindless process of natural selection has produced through tribalism without reason and church-state exceptionalism without reason isn’t good enough. The biological determinism of tribalism without reason doesn’t integrate with “biology with technology” to produce a sustainable human condition. Mechanical-Social Integration identifies that only superior intelligent scientific ability through artificial selection and logic is capable of designing “biology with technology” in sustainable unification with the physics-governed natural environment. The failures of natural selection to produce tribalism without reason, and past political philosophy to produce social and environmental abuses, including global warming, identify that objective science-based systems-based social engineering through the biocentrism of Mechanical-Social Integration is entirely necessary in solution.
* * * * *
Positivism exists because deterministic physics-governed relationships exist, and the democracy of knowledge determined by the indifferent universe exists. Positivism only becomes a problem when we apply positivism through inappropriate reductionisms, including to identify foolish exceptionalistic solutions that reflect the tribalism of church-state national exceptionalism. In America’s case, all such positivism does is enable false duplicitous deism, including a false damaging unscientific unregulated definition of individual liberty that enables the falsehood of religion and growth-model laissez faire capitalism on a finite planet through the same definition, which cannot possibly be scientifically correct, and consequently enables church-state exceptionalism without reason.
I make a case that positivism can still be valid - because the universe of governing physics between the weak and strong nuclear, electromagnetic, and gravitational forces are knowable and quantifiable, and these forces govern climate change and global warming right here on Earth. I caution Homo sapiens to avoid going down the “rabbit hole” of postmodernism that emphasizes “we can never know anything for sure”, and quantum mechanics that emphasize a “Many Worlds” theory to perform “solutions”, because well-known well-established classical physics plainly governs global warming right here on Earth, right now.
In point of fact – cause and effect classical physics are so real and tangible right here on Earth, and directly govern global warming - that all we require to produce an objective political philosophy and overcome global warming is reverse engineer our species relationship with these classical “governing physics”. Currently, virtually all applied physics - such as airplanes and other useful things - are applied in relationship to classical physics, where once again, reductionism to classical physics is the appropriate reductionism to defeat manmade yet physics-governed global warming.
Developing social science through reductionism to physics however, deconstructs natural selection-determined Homo sapiens to reveal an extremely biologically determined human condition. Human biological determinism identifies eusociality and tribalism, and specifically “tribalism without reason”, which is a major problem. “Tribalism without reason” is identified as First Cause for virtually all of Homo sapiens problems. Tribalism without reason produces conservative “low-tech” interpretations of militarism, religion, politics, economics, and culture, including science, where globalization through religio-economic systems enabled by fossil fuels has produced unsustainable social design and global warming. No matter what energy source you give tribalism without reason, this biological determinism will produce territorial conflict, including destroy the natural environment as a casualty of biological warfare.
It is unavoidable that “colorful variety of tribalism” is what we call “culture”, so we will need to objectify our relationship with culture to overcome ubiquitous tribalism without reason. Homo sapiens will need to “lose our tribalism”, and produce a new objective conception of culture in sustainable unification with governing physics, which we might call “Universal Physical Culturalism”. Meanwhile, all tribalism represents tribalism without reason to negatively affect conservative low-tech interpretations of militarism, religion, politics, economics, culture, and science, including cause global warming. It is important to identify that every cultures science has served national exceptionalism, specifically church-state exceptionalism without reason, with effectively no self-awareness of it and allowed global warming to occur.
One can defend “colorful variety of tribalism without reason and church-state exceptionalism without reason” all one wants, but to those like me it will fall on ears that only hear the clear ringing of silver trumpets* sounded by reason. The sustainable Scientific Utopia identified by unification with the physics-governed natural hierarchy is just as deterministic as the heaven identified by unification with the supernatural god-governed afterlife hierarchy, and each hierarchy is inversely incompatible with the other. I will say it again in a later chapter: deism is dead, and freedom of speech in division with determinist science and governing physics is correspondingly dead.
Homo sapiens evolved through past lesser ability like every single-celled organism did. Nevertheless, continued allegiance to the process of mindless natural selection that produces brain-dead instinctual tribalism without reason, and church-state exceptionalism without reason, is not the way we will move forward. Our species unique ability to intelligence identifies a new way forward unlike any other species: specifically, by achieving collective social unification with the physics-governed indifferent universe to overcome manmade yet physics-governed global warming. This effort will require Mechanical-Social Integration minimizing the social and economic stratification that prevents secular-progressive collectivism.
In solution, the positivism of the knowable and quantifiable through reductionism to physics does something unexpected. Reductionism to “classical physics that governs the big” steps back with a wider vision than previous reductionisms, which have routinely served tribalism without reason. Reductionism to classical physics steps back with a wider vision to identify a new “higher standard” for the human condition, qualified as an anthropocentric goal in relationship to achieving social and environmental sustainability. Just as “over the past hundred years the trajectory of the life sciences traces a clear shift from description to understanding to manipulation, where in one century we have moved from observing to understanding to engineering”*, social science through reductionism to physics also identifies moving from observing to understanding to engineering, which identifies a new “higher standard” for the human condition.
Some want to make genetically superior babies. I want to make the entirety of infant Homo sapiens a superior species through sustainable unification with the physics-governed natural environment. Science will either provide a top-down systems-based solution that overcomes natural selection-determined ubiquitous instinctual tribalism without reason, and church-state exceptionalism without reason, including connected global warming, or it will not. Science will either serve tribalism without reason, or overcome it.
Meanwhile, social science through reductionism to physics that identifies a new “higher standard” for the human condition will undoubtedly be demonized as another “secular religion”. Unfortunately, this means Homo sapiens prefer serving mindless natural selection to produce brain-dead instinctual tribalism without reason, including supernatural religion and impossible growth-model laissez faire capitalism on a finite planet, as our definition of “reason”, “liberty”, “freedom”, “economics”, and “democracy”. In addition, my demonstration of “two parallel state of nature causalities” will be demonized as a blueprint for a secular religion.
My reason however, remains undaunted. Given the perversity of our primitive and obsolete biological determinisms culminating in increasingly likely premature global warming extinction, my intelligence remains validated. Consequently, like Dracula, I don’t mind being at war with the world and everyone in it. This economy of scale may inevitably spell doom for the messenger, but not for the message. Unless we design a solution, the stark deterministic message of governing physics will inevitably bloom like the dark flower of night itself, watered by the expanding arid regions, encroaching tropical diseases, and increasing catastrophic weather caused by climate change and global warming.
My development of philosophy however, currently remains guardedly optimistic. I begin by corroborating sociobiology to identify what natural selection has produced. Immediately however, social science through reductionism to physics gets “opti-mystic” by identifying that we can do much better as a species than what mindless natural selection has produced through ubiquitous instinctual tribalism without reason, and church-state exceptionalism without reason. It is obvious that the biological determinism of natural selection to produce tribalism without reason and church-state exceptionalism without reason through the illogic, exploitation, and physical damage of supernatural religion, and growth-model laissez faire capitalism on a finite planet, has utterly failed us. Clearly, Homo sapiens require a new science, political philosophy, and even a new “secular religion” that designs well-reasoned optimism through unification with the physics-governed ecosystem.
Meanwhile, the world doth function unto natural selection – not unto a god – and consequently the human condition is demonstrated as the product of tribalism, specifically “tribalism without reason”. Tribalism without reason produces militarism and religion in a symbiotic church-state relationship, including conservative low-tech competitive ideologies and ethics to affect politics, economics, culture, and science. Does it confuse the issue when evolutionary biology identifies natural selection itself to produce religion? I’m sure it’s as “embarrassing” for scientists as it is “awkward” for church-goers. Nevertheless, even evolutionary biologists that subscribe to natural selection encourage us to examine the products of natural selection, and discard them if they are false and damaging, which process identifies artificial selection, including logic.
Social science through reductionism to physics identifies natural selection to produce many false damaging products, specifically the First Cause of tribalism without reason, including militarism, religion, and competitive ideologies and ethics that affect the politics, economics, culture, and science of church-state exceptionalism without reason. Consequently, my development of philosophy deconstructs the entire human condition determined by tribalism without reason, which has produced the genetic expansion and territorial aggression of church-state exceptionalism without reason.
To avoid topical applications of atheism, I suggest the relatively new concept of “Anti-theism” - because social science through reductionism to physics finds fault with the entire human condition determined by mindless natural selection to produce ubiquitous instinctual tribalism without reason, and church-state exceptionalism without reason. Social science through reductionism to physics identifies that artificial selection and logic are now required to produce the science-based and systems-based solutions necessary to address the entire human condition determined by ubiquitous tribalism without reason, and overcome manmade yet physics-governed global warming.
Currently, the human condition is like a thousand different mold’s (tribalism) speaking a thousand different languages reverberating cacophonously in a Petri dish (planet Earth), each consuming resources through the determinism of mindless natural selection to cause the insane genetic expansion and territorial aggression of church-state exceptionalism without reason. My development of biocentrism identifies how to govern a thousand different tribes each following instinctual, “brain-dead”, and unsustainable biological determinisms caused by mindless natural selection, to produce a unified intelligent biological physical system that can overcome manmade yet physics-governed global warming.
The strategy of social science through reductionism to physics identifies how to design the highest possible sustainable standard of living for every individual on Earth, including produce our entire species in sustainable unification with the physics-governed indifferent universe. Because of the biological determinisms that produced our species, making the transition to objective science-based systems-based social design will be challenging. Nevertheless, reverse engineering a sustainable Spaceship Earth will produce a Scientific Utopia that functions within a margin of error that achieves social and environmental sustainability.

Contradictions, Dilemmas, and
New Social Design
What’s the best thing in the world? Easy: Girls’ Generation. Do I know they use sexuality to promote group-level selection through the traditional roles of tribalism? Yes, I do. E. O. Wilson admits his affinity to conservative customs, and so will I. You see, I spent a big chunk of my life on a baseball field with nine guys. If in our considerable travels we had come across these nine girls, we would have flipped out. As a middle age bachelor - you gotta be kidding me. Yes, my biological determinism still influences me.
The Influence of Sociobiology
E. O. Wilson was ostracized during the 1970’s after publishing “Sociobiology: The New Synthesis”. Nevertheless, genetic evolution to affect both our instincts and cultural evolution is now nearly undisputed. Only 40 years later, manmade yet physics-governed global warming identifies that beyond simply identifying this biological determinism, it is now high-time to manage our biological determinism in sustainable unification with governing physics. I propose this ability to represent a new science that integrates sociobiology with astrobiology to produce “physiosociobiology”.
* * * * *
The social sciences continue to evolve, as evidenced by E. O. Wilson’s new book “The Social Conquest of Earth”. E. O. Wilson is the world’s preeminent evolutionary biologist, including world authority on eusocial species spanning ants to humans, and actually invented the discipline of sociobiology in 1975, which was identified as the most important biology book of the 20th century. What E. O. Wilson says “goes” – because Wilson knows more than Darwin did – and Darwin laid the foundation for a new world view. (Charles Darwin’s “On the Origin of Species” was voted the most important biology book of the 19th century.)
In “The Social Conquest of Earth” (2012), E. O. Wilson:
Redefines sociobiology and evolutionary psychology by abandoning “inclusive fitness theory”, i.e. “kin selection” in favor of multi-level selection that identifies both individual-level and group-level selection working together and exploiting each other in a eusocial species (Homo sapiens).
Identifies a general methodological reversal in the social sciences from “behavioralism” that asserts all culture is learned, to “naturalism” that identifies extensive biological determinisms are caused by natural selection, which redefines our perception of “free will”.
Makes it a point, by identifying that scientific knowledge doubles every ten to twenty years, to assert that making predictions beyond a decade is not recommended. What is recommended is identifying what we don’t want to do, much like a sculptor removing material to reveal the desired image contained within, where cognitive and science-based social design identifies artificial selection*.
Identifies two axioms of biology as natural selection (where by default natural selection produces all species evolving from simple single-cell life), and that biology always obeys the laws of chemistry and physics (where reductionism to chemistry and physics identify the “building blocks” of biological organisms*).
Identifies that tribalism is ubiquitous throughout the human condition.
Currently however, humanity struggles to come to terms with our evolutionary origins, predispositions, and liabilities, including promoting our “better angels” in a sustainable manner. Unfortunately, our biological determinisms cause our species image to resemble a primitive individual-level selection devil more than a sophisticated group-level selection angel. Alternatively stated, even our species “magnanimous” group-level selection attributes are now demonstrated through tribalism without reason to be primitive, ignorant, and unsustainable, i.e. manmade yet physics-governed global warming.
* * * * *
If our species is to be diminished into hoping, in absence of performing direct, intelligent, sustainable solutions through predictive science – where hope is the secular equivalent of faith* – let’s hope that understanding our evolutionary biology soon provides the wisdom for man to overcome manmade yet physics-governed global warming, including the current near unprecedented mass-extinction of species, and other social, economic, and environmental abuses.
So far however, hope and faith aren’t providing the solutions a sentient intelligent eusocial hairless hominid (we are descended from apes, specifically Chimpanzees) enabled through technology currently requires. So far, the democracy produced by American-style fundamentalist individual liberty remains false and damaging. Currently, “political freedom” through democracy enables the falsehood and damage of religion, and simply appeases every division of society capable of internal sabotage*. Such “democracy” gives us the “options” of republicans, libertarians, and the lesser evil of status quo democrats determined by disparity in wealth and concentration of power. Perversely, the Green Party and Socialist Party remain detriments rather than conduits to progressivism, because elections reduce to fending off the consequences of republican horror enabled by disparity in wealth and concentration of power. Meanwhile, “economic freedom” has produced the disparity in wealth, concentration of power, and environmental damage that evolutionary biologists* let alone progressive economists identify as dysfunctional. Clearly, enabling certain political and economic freedom isn’t any better than communism*, just different, and due for revision and repair.
Ideological hope and faith are concepts designed to appease both individuals and the masses that are now qualified by “the box” of evolutionary biology functioning within “the larger box” of physics-governed physical reality. Astrobiology and sociobiology identifies a fundamentally deterministic existence, including social regulation in unification with the physics-governed indifferent universe to overcome manmade yet physics-governed global warming. Who says “progressive” democrats aren’t ideologues*; they’re certainly ideologues of “politics as the art of the possible” determined through false damaging institutions that are incapable of designing truthful sustainable solutions.
The Reductionism of Eusociality and Tribalism
This work identifies:
Eusociality and tribalism are intrinsic to the origins of the human condition. Eusociality identifies building a nest and defending it, where the tribalism of inclusive nests exploits and defends a territorial radius, and where the geographic proximity and genetic expansion (7 billion and counting) of tribes causes competition for limiting resources.
Intrinsic to tribalism is ubiquitous religion, where an estimated 100,000 different religions have occurred, in each case to bind a tribe in unity and defeat the territorial enemy, including perform other utilitarian functions of eusociality and tribalism.
Genetic expansion identifies integration with energy sources (typically food and other limiting resources), and in Homo sapiens case, integration with fossil fuels to enable all aspects of modern civilization spanning food, mobility, plastics, and energy, including science and technology. (Demonstrating however, that biological expansion is integrated with an energy source spanning food, sunlight, heat, and fuel (i.e. thermodynamics and entropy) - and where human slavery identifies “free or cheap fuel” - does not provide the specific application of social science through reductionism to physics promoted in this work*.)
Homo sapiens demonstrate genetic expansion integrated with economics, through disparity in wealth, concentration of power, and church-state exceptionalism, to identify individuals, corporations, and the state exerting territorial aggression through money (i.e. violence is inherent in the monetary system).
Truthful knowledge through science is subverted to serve tribalism without reason and church-state exceptionalism without reason.
Altogether, violence, money, and knowledge* serve tribalism without reason, and church-state exceptionalism without reason. When all three forms of power serve tribalism without reason and church-state exceptionalism without reason enabled by fossil fuels, Homo sapiens has an apocalyptic problem, i.e. “the human condition”, including manmade yet physics-governed global warming.
Eusociality identifies individual-level selection and group-level selection both working together and exploiting each other determined through tribalism without reason, and church-state exceptionalism without reason, to define the dynamics of the human condition without reason.
Eusociality and the tribal arena - spanning tribal defense, competition for limiting resources, and individual-level selection and group-level selection both working together and exploiting each other - has remained the same while escalating from tribes to chiefdoms to states*. Consequently, the modern human condition is tribalistic, where the roles of tribalism identify a military (tribal defense, acquisition of limiting resources), competitive ideologies (sports, games, capitalism), and ethics (religion, politics, economics) that enable tribalism. We should not be confused therefore - when information-based existence enables some flexibility to move in and out of the roles of tribalism, and where the attributes of individual-level selection and group-level selection both working together and exploiting each other identify genetics less deterministic than for example the extended phenotypes of ants - that eusociality, tribalism, and the ubiquitous roles of tribalism, are somehow less than deterministic, including caused by natural selection*.
Homo sapiens defend nests, and a tribe (which makes us paranoid, i.e. conservative*, about maintaining a tribal military defense), while simultaneously using the military to acquire limiting resources (which makes us additionally paranoid and conservative about maintaining a tribal military defense), while simultaneously promoting competitive ideologies such as sports, games, and capitalism to trade aggressively in the acquisition of limiting resources, and where the ethics of religion, politics, and economics have developed to address and design the functionality of tribalism in relationship to various modes of production*.
See illustration of tribalism on following page.
It is apparent that the origins of the human condition through eusociality and tribalism required defense, and therefore tribal existence has escalated from individual hunter/warriors to an institutionalized military. Tribalism is intrinsically militaristic, including “paranoid” and “conservative”. It is reasonable to assume that a larger military enabled tribal survival, which has produced a uniformity of militaristic tribalism escalating from tribes to chiefdoms to states, where church-state exceptionalism promotes escalation resulting in Imperialism and Super-colony Empire*. The church-state insists that every ant-human remains busy and contributes straw to their tribal anthill, but I find this forced labor disgusting and counterproductive, i.e. manmade yet physics-governed global warming. The modern state is clearly a product of eusocial/tribal determinisms to produce military, church, and state, including competitive economics and ethics, as one interconnected cultural entity, i.e. our “cultural survival vehicles”* and “The Social Conquest of Earth”*.
The need for an institutionalized military however, including institutionalized religion and competitive economics, in point of fact evaporates when we enable eusociality through superior social design absent from tribalism without reason to produce ubiquitous church-state exceptionalism without reason. I am extremely pleased that my studies allow me to identify this natural selection-determined circumstance, eusocial/tribal biological situation, and cognitive social design solution through artificial selection and logic. Obviously, natural selection produces competitiveness; however, how sentient intelligent Homo sapiens decide to manage competitiveness can certainly occur through superior social design absent from tribalism without reason, and church-state exceptionalism without reason. Meanwhile, virtually every institution evolves to enable eusocial/tribal defense in some capacity, which is exactly what we would expect to see “life and death” natural selection producing*.
The Ethics of Tribalism without Reason
In addition to identifying the biology of tribalism without reason and church-state exceptionalism without reason as the true cause of our problems - we also consider global warming an ethical issue - and therefore changing our ethics is necessary in solution. Specifically, we will need to design a new ethic that replaces the very forces of natural selection to produce tribalism without reason, and church-state exceptionalism without reason, with a manmade meme determined through intelligence, science, and wisdom to produce objective sustainable universal ethics*. Reductionism to physics identifies achieving objective universal ethics through reverse engineering Spaceship Earth to satisfy universal physical human needs in a sustainable manner.
“Natural selection” can then operate through sexual selection that has first been made sustainable through reverse engineering a sustainable Spaceship Earth, and consequently sexual selection no longer burns the world down serving tribalism without reason, and church-state exceptionalism without reason*. This also identifies a top-down solution provided by science that will be in vast conflict with the status quo determined by mindless natural selection to produce equally “brain-dead” instinctual tribalism. Clearly, primitive tribalism without reason and church-state exceptionalism without reason is currently obsolete. Manmade yet physics-governed global warming identifies that the obsolete biological determinisms of tribalism without reason must now be replaced with a relevant sustainable meme, or “ethic”, i.e. social science through reductionism to physics, and the progressive political philosophy of Universalism.
“The Ten Commandments” and “The Seven Deadly Sins” are good examples of religious ethics that attempt to design tribal unity and success*. These ethics however, aren’t quantifiable (i.e. philosophical generalizations), they are designed to enable tribalism, and they were developed in response to an agrarian mode of production. Consequently, religious ethics subject to these liabilities are no longer applicable to designing sustainable global technological eusociality. The fact that many cannot objectify having this conversation and a debate provides evidence of the determinism of tribalism without reason, i.e. the determinism of our particular “cultural survival vehicle”. Alternatively stated, when natural selection-determined tribalism ubiquitously produces religion, we are unilaterally conflicted in our ability to quantify the fact that natural selection produces subjective damaging falsehood, including unilaterally conflicted in our ability to quantify an objective truthful solution.
Political ethics (in America) identifies democracy and capitalism to serve the philosophical generalizations of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”, “self-evident truths”, and “inalienable rights”, including “freedom of speech”. These ethics however, also aren’t quantifiable, they are also designed to enable tribalism, and they were also developed in response to an agrarian mode of production. In an age of quantifiable social science, these philosophical generalizations are identified to once again enable tribalism without reason and church-state exceptionalism without reason responding to an agrarian mode of production.
Serving these biological determinisms through philosophical generalizations doesn’t speak well for considering “citizen wisdom without knowledge” an integral part of harmony in democracy. Consequently, American-style ethics are no longer applicable to designing sustainable global technological eusociality. The fact that many cannot objectify having this conversation and a debate provides evidence of the determinism of tribalism without reason, i.e. the determinism of our particular “cultural survival vehicle”. Alternatively stated, when natural selection produces tribalism without reason and ubiquitous church-state exceptionalism without reason, we are unilaterally conflicted in our ability to quantify the fact that natural selection produces subjective damaging falsehood, including unilaterally conflicted in our ability to quantify an objective truthful solution.
Currently, economic ethics assert a wide variety of subjective behavior:
Working hard, independence, and self-sufficiency. (Unfortunately, these ethics largely operate in direct conflict with our evolution through tribal hunting-gathering to enable the entire tribe, including that tribal existence typically conserves energy and resources, including by sharing. In addition, in no way does individual specialization in response to scientific reductionism diminish the group-level selection requirements of “biology with technology” in relationship to the requirements of governing physics, for example to overcome manmade yet physics-governed global warming.)
Self-sacrifice during periods of “national exceptionalism” (i.e. recessions, depressions, and war, caused by church-state exceptionalism without reason, i.e. “Theo-conservative trickledown Reaganomics”*).
Blaming others poverty on being lazy, stupid, and religiously defined evil.
Achieving prosperity by building a successful covenant with god.
Economic libertarianism attempts to provide a secular interpretation of blaming others poverty on being lazy, stupid, and religiously defined evil.
Clearly, the glorified individual specialization, innovation, and exchange of capitalism largely operate in direct conflict with our evolution through tribal hunting-gathering to enable the entire tribe. Consequently, this contradiction produces problematic aggressive, divisive, mystic, and abandonment reasoning and psychology leading to both the self and society falsely blaming, exploiting, and punishing the individual for institutional problems caused by poor social design.
For example, individual specialization in response to scientific reductionism produces scientists and professionals that identify with disparity in wealth through economic libertarianism as their just reward for such specialization. Consequently, individual specialization in response to scientific reductionism to produce scientists and professionals instinctually gravitates to producing a “techno-fix”, rather than a “socio-fix” that affects their ability to disparity in wealth. Nevertheless, such individual specialization in response to scientific reductionism doesn’t affect the group-level selection of “biology with technology” in relationship to the requirements of governing physics, for example to overcome manmade yet physics-governed global warming. Moreover, asserting that nobody would become a scientist or professional in absence of disparity in wealth is false, as Einstein and many other scientists functioned in poverty and obscurity, and to make this assertion in point of fact accuses Homo sapiens entire species of being secularly-defined lazy, stupid, and evil.
The direct conflict capitalism causes society is similar to the direct conflict science causes society; however - science can design a solution to this conflict where capitalism exacerbates it and cannot - and the two institutions should never be unreasonably conflated. Unfortunately, capitalism designs a schism between actions that enable individual-level selection, and actions that enable group-level selection. I.e., disparity in wealth and concentration of power protects wealthy individuals, corporations, and the church-state - especially where the church-state functions by turning money, poverty, and falsehood into violence - while citizens are forced to exist in class and generational poverty subject to sickness, abuse, depression, substance abuse, and premature death. Meanwhile, the multitude witnesses church-state exceptionalism without reason producing premature global warming extinction for everyone. Consider, for example, the slaves of Egypt building “anthill” pyramids for ultra-primitive church-state exceptionalism, which stand as monuments to mans ignorant unsustainable biological determinisms, i.e. church-state empires that always fail and end.
Ladies and gentlemen, “Hell” is on Earth, not under it; wage-slaves around the world are now committing suicide rather than practice the glorified individual specialization, innovation, and exchange through “The Wealth of Nations” and “Theo-conservative trickledown Reaganomics” that serve church-state exceptionalism without reason. Is that “the fire”* we want to keep alive on Earth; a fire that burns people alive to enable “The Wealth of Nations” through church-state exceptionalism without reason, including causes global warming?
Let’s identify a distinction in this biological and cognitive analysis of ethics, between the biology of eusociality (which natural circumstance requires no solution because it represents a male, female, and offspring attempting to survive together rather than individually), and the biology/social design of tribalism (identified by sociobiology and gene-culture theory) that diminishes the natural drama of eusociality into tribalism without reason and church-state exceptionalism without reason to produce manmade yet physics-governed global warming, which does require a solution (addressed by physiosociobiology).
Alternatively, instead of mindless natural selection diminishing Homo sapiens into brain-dead instinctual tribalism without reason, and church-state exceptionalism without reason, science-based social design could target and elevate the natural drama of eusociality to achieve a truthful sustainable Scientific Utopia. Currently, if natural selection and/or man are involved with producing falsehood - “life must find a way” - and produce a solution consistent with manmade yet physics-governed global warming, which circumstance moves science from “studying biology” (i.e. sociobiology) to “managing biology” (i.e. physiosociobiology).
Consequently, the study of physiosociobiology is compelled to produce a matching objective political philosophy, i.e. Universalism. Our shift in ethics must include using science in a predictive manner to produce sustainable solutions. Predictive applications of science to social design affects and redefines the institutions of deism, freedom of speech, liberty, freedom, democracy, and economics, which must now be determined in unification with governing physics. Science after all, relies on reductionism to physics to make sense of every physical system in the entire universe.
Like nearly all institutions, economics are designed to enable tribalism, so the ethics of economics are highly integrated with the institutions of tribalism without reason, spanning militarism, religion, competitive ideologies, and ethics, to produce ubiquitous church-state exceptionalism without reason. Examples include “The Wealth of Nations” (tribes), religio-economic “Theo-conservative trickledown Reaganomics”, and “the Family on C Street”, including the “objectivism” of economic libertarianism, which nonetheless serves tribalism without reason.
Consequently, economic ethics are highly integrated with religious ethics, including highly integrated with ethics regarding tribal defense, and competitive ideologies such as sports, games, and capitalism that promotes tribalism by trading aggressively in the acquisition of limiting resources. Economic ethics are also highly integrated with the attributes of individual-level selection and group-level selection both working together and exploiting each other while enabling (or compromising) the function of tribalism. The fact that many cannot objectify having this conversation and a debate provides evidence of the determinism of tribalism without reason and church-state exceptionalism without reason, i.e. the determinism of our particular “cultural survival vehicle”.
Let’s make another distinction here, between the self-interested attributes of individual-level selection and the “magnanimous” attributes of group-level selection both working together and exploiting each other. This circumstance spans individual-level selection serving church-state exceptionalism without reason, secular interpretations of “gaming the system”, and individual-level selection integrating with the attributes of group-level selection to identify group-level selection exploiting the individual, which also serves church-state exceptionalism without reason. Alternatively stated, both individual-level selection and group-level selection each exploit the other while serving tribalism without reason, and church-state exceptionalism without reason, in some capacity. Moreover, when determined by “biology with technology” this relationship is entirely dysfunctional, demonstrated by social, political, and economic polarization producing paralyzed government, disparity in wealth, building more and more prisons, and manmade global warming.
National Exceptionalism vs. Truth and Sustainability
The diversity of political ideologies has acted consistent with the biological determinism of tribalism*, where religion is ubiquitous to tribalism to bind a tribe in unity and defeat the territorial enemy, including perform other utilitarian functions of eusociality and tribalism, which produces a uniformity of church-state systems. Consequently, militarism, religion, politics, and economics have served tribalism without reason, which has produced the genetic expansion and territorial aggression of church-state exceptionalism without reason. Clearly, “natural selection” and “reason” are not synonymous; meanwhile, natural selection is “perfectly happy" with how our species was produced*.
This work identifies that nearly all of our church-state actions through “national exceptionalism” represents ultra-primitive tribalism without reason to produce ubiquitous church-state exceptionalism without reason as the cause of needless damaging competition, aggressive trading, and war, including needless damaging production and consumption, and of course global warming. Who are we competing with, over what? An intergalactic traveler accustomed to negotiating the determinism of physics might identify that Homo sapiens are competing with ourselves over nothing, except the perverse ability to produce global warming and premature extinction. Demonstratively, we are competing with our own species over nothing except the ability to achieve daily function made exponentially problematic while compromised by mindlessly following the determinisms of ultra-primitive tribalism without reason, culminating like a stupid-sick practical cosmic joke in global warming.
When people start coming to terms with “tribalism without reason” as First Cause for our species idiosyncratic liabilities, shortcomings, and global warming problem - like a primitive evolutionary child demonstrating the glimmers of reason and wisdom - we should all be exquisitely embarrassed, and then change our behavior. Through tribalism without reason and church-state exceptionalism without reason however, our species has acted like every tribe represented mans last best hope for survival, while the truth is there’s planet enough for everyone if we manage ourselves prudently with reason.
The theoretical solution would therefore require eliminating any instinctual tribal fear and hatred for other tribes, i.e. eliminating racism and tribal/national/church-state exceptionalism. Maybe there’s a little blue psychopharmacology pill that can fix obsolete damaging instincts, including design reason with wisdom. Meanwhile, since genetically determined instincts make the aforementioned solution impossible, the real solution requires managing society with top-down science-based social design protocols. We have, after all, already been managing society with “top-down”* social design protocols for quite some time, for example with a false damaging unscientific unregulated definition of liberty that enables religion, growth-model laissez faire capitalism on a finite planet, and the rule of law, serving a vastly subjective false damaging democracy. Unfortunately, these institutions simply enable ultra-primitive tribalism without reason, and church-state exceptionalism without reason. Nevertheless, if man integrated the rule of law with science-based social design protocols*, Homo sapiens could achieve a Scientific Utopia in a timely manner that defeats global warming.
The problem of overcoming primitive obsolete biological determinisms is a serious one for a technological species that is negatively impacting the entire planetary ecosystem, and the lack of reason in our biological evolution and corresponding social design (gene-culture determinism) is at the heart of it. The human social and environmental condition is currently determined by the management of eusocial tribalism, which unfortunately demonstrates the modern high school as a factory for producing tribalism without reason. The modern high school is a factory for producing tribalism without reason spanning elder-teachers, sport-soldiers, cheerleader-sexual selection (mating with choice females is determined in relationship to tribalism), and marching war drum-musicians, each performing the function of reproducing our particular “cultural survival vehicle”. Effectively, such institutionalization enables each microcosmic jurisdiction through ultra-primitive tribalism without reason.
It’s no wonder that society only requires graduation from this “tribalism factory” to quantify producing a legitimate citizen, including why it is commonly observed that the same social dynamics simply get repeated after high school. Considering that the equivalent institutions also occur successively at college, clearly, tribalism is now highly institutionalized, including promoted in the free market. If you’re wondering why graduation from college deposits one into a poor free market situation, it’s because tribalism without reason and church-state exceptionalism without reason designs a repeatedly poor free market situation. Consequently, only through reason will we be able to flip the equation of existence from obsolete biological determinisms that cause negative consequence, to superior cognitive-based, science-based, and systems-based social design that designs predictive positive consequence from the physics-governed indifferent universe.
Meanwhile, unfortunately, our technology is highly integrated with fossil fuels, which has become a problem. I.e., not only are fossil fuels causing global warming, but to stop using fossil fuels would require losing our ability to technology. Consequently, many feel that the only hope is to continue using fossil fuels just as we are - through tribalism without reason and church-state exceptionalism without reason - and then additionally hope that our technology produces a solution, or “techno-fix”.
It is clear that Homo sapiens desperately require both social design solutions and alternative energy solutions founded on reason. If for example, we curtailed the use of fossil fuels to service tribalism without reason, and church-state exceptionalism without reason, we could virtually halt the engine of tribal destruction spewing ignorance, falsehood, exploitation, and oppression, including poverty, horror, and death across the planet. Science and technology should design sustainable life, not enable Armageddon by servicing tribalism without reason.
Since religion is ubiquitous to tribalism, and tribalism produces church-state systems that serve genetic expansion, territorial aggression, and national exceptionalism without reason, the only way to fix religion is to fix tribalism. Alternatively stated, the only way to fix the human condition without reason is to fix tribalism without reason. Faith and “faith-based reasoning” is the absence of reason*, and natural selection has occurred absent from reason, so the solution to Homo sapiens will require new memes and cultural evolution, i.e. new political philosophy and economics in unification with science and environmentalism.
Unification with science and environmentalism will produce a political philosophy of biocentrism that will also serve our species anthropocentrism in a sustainable manner, by reverse engineering a sustainable Spaceship Earth. Reverse engineering a sustainable Spaceship Earth will not require the construct of money and sovereign currencies serving tribalism without reason. Such primitive institutions are identified to serve the genetic expansion and territorial aggression of church-state exceptionalism without reason that requires turning money, poverty, and falsehood into violence. Unification with science and environmentalism will require the science-based systems-based sustainable regulation and distribution of people and resources. In addition, identical to defeating global warming - if we don’t act unilaterally - there’s little reason to make isolated efforts.
* * * * *
Sustainable new social design, in one word, is regulation: (where the root “regular” identifies sustainable biological unification with governing physics*), to design sentient intelligent biology in sustainable unification with science and governing physics to overcome manmade yet physics-governed global warming. The methodology of social science through reductionism to physics, including matching regulation (social design protocols), doesn’t produce the human equivalent of an ant colony – mindless natural selection causes brain-dead instinctual tribalism that already produces the human equivalent of an ant colony.
Social science through reductionism to physics produces a sustainable human condition through biological unification with top-down governing physics that enables every individual to escape brain-dead instinctual tribalism without reason and church-state exceptionalism without reason, and instead enables every individual to their fullest sustainable potential. No individual on Earth currently responding to individual-level selection during the unprecedented group-level selection of a global technological civilization that is negatively impacting the entire planetary ecosystem could possibly do better than performing such a sentient intelligent artificial selection achievement, including promote superior new ability to individualism and distinctly humanistic social design*.
Alternatively stated, without “biology with technology”* first performing group-level selection in sustainable unification with the physics-governed ecosystem, there is no ability to perform individual-level selection second. Our species history is defending the tribe to select “our” tribe’s genes over “other” tribe’s genes - but there has to be a tribe in the first place to defend at all. Our species current evolutionary battle is to design a single global tribe - “One People on One Planet in One Reality” - functioning in sustainable unification with governing physics, and this will require a Herculean effort that frequently resembles a Sisyphusian effort, including accused as a Promethean effort.
Chapter 2
The Dilemma of Natural Selection
A process that determines the evolution of single-celled organisms is not a process that necessarily benefits determining the most unique and exceptional intelligence in the known universe: Homo sapiens. The ability of Homo sapiens to escape the biological determinism of mindless natural selection through intelligent artificial selection and logic is important, otherwise natural selection will continue to diminish us through tribalism without reason.
Introduction
Natural selection is exquisitely perverse when subject to profound bottom-up evolutionary ignorance and other limiting factors, such as defending a territorial radius. Such deterministic consequence for Homo sapiens has produced “brain-dead” instinctual tribalism without reason manifest through the genetic expansion and territorial aggression of church-state exceptionalism without reason, spanning the falsehood of religion to the falsehood of growth-model laissez faire capitalism on a finite planet.
A mindless natural selection process produces an equally “brain-dead” product: meaning, ubiquitous tribalism without reason and church-state exceptionalism without reason are instinctual, regardless if we can handle this truth or not. Moreover, the ability to “handle this truth or not” doesn’t function in a vacuum; there are physics-governed consequences for our species level of ability in the indifferent universe.
Once an organism achieves sentient intelligence, looking back at the biological determinisms that produced us is ugly, but it must be done. How far back we can afford to accommodate these primitive biological determinisms depends on the circumstance sentient intelligence finds itself in. Currently, climate change and global warming identify that “biology with technology” dependent on fossil fuels can’t afford this inherited debt accrued as recently as yesterday, because tribalism without reason and church-state exceptionalism without reason still determines us for the worse. Homo sapiens intelligence is emerging just in time to witness how primitive, biologically determined, damaging, and unlikely to survive we are.
Clearly, the physics-governed consequence for our species level of ability in the indifferent universe currently requires a top-down science-based systems-based solution. Depending on their circumstance, an alien species might look back on their inherited debt and decide they needed to genetically engineer themselves to have a big brain, no genitals, and a hive-mind. Alternative to such genetic engineering, Homo sapiens might look back on our inherited debt and decide we need to design a solution by producing objective science-based social design that enables our species idiosyncratic anthropocentrism in sustainable unification with the biocentrism of the indifferent universe.
Despite our instinctual, ignorant, and primitive tribal attributes actually being selected for “survival” (or not through global warming), natural selection is all about endless sex (and violence). Sex is glorious until one attempts to integrate the bottom-up ignorant biological determinisms of tribalism without reason with science-identified top-down physics-governed determinisms, because these two determinisms don’t engender a readily sustainable cocktail party, or lovechild. Nevertheless, Homo sapiens exist in exactly this “sexual hell”. I.e., instinctually eliminating the territorial enemy, and then eagerly reproducing your genetics while remaining subject to brain-dead instinctual tribalism without reason leading to global warming extinction.
I for one don’t want to remain in natural selection-determined brain-dead instinctual tribalism without reason, and church-state exceptionalism without reason, until premature global warming extinction. I want to get my Homo sapiens house in order with the fierce urgency of now. Homo sapiens are one tiny deterministic step better than Homo neanderthalensis, which genocidal circumstance was determined by instinct, ignorance, and violence. I can already identify the next evolution of our species to be at least one tiny deterministic step better through absence from violence, because the fate of “biology with technology” is now determined by intelligence and wisdom.
If “biology with technology” manages to survive through intelligence and wisdom, one wonders how far this autocatalytic evolutionary dynamic can continue. Perhaps, if our species successfully jumps through enough biological and physics-governed hoops, we might personify a conception of living gods. I see this potential in the face of every single human being, and it sickens my secular spirit to see it all going to waste.
The Dilemma of Natural Selection
Natural selection is axiomatic to biological evolution* – it is the process that produces the evolution of single-celled organisms, including us – and where applications of manmade artificial selection ultimately serve the selection function traditionally attributed to natural selection. Nevertheless, just as we cannot wish “natural selection”, “survival of the fittest”, or “do or die” scenarios on other human beings, because it is tantamount to wishing death on them*, so too we cannot wish artificial selection on human beings in absence of targeting social design protocols that design sustainable life*. If a few generations are enabled to pass through the filter of objective social design protocols that design sustainable life, no violence is required to produce a solution through artificial selection.
Nevertheless, implementing such artificial selection through traditional education and democracy currently faces the window of opportunity provided by global warming. When that window begins to close, social and environmental abuses will respond with violence, including attempts to throw money at the problem, and finally using knowledge that is false to promote a resurgence of opiate religion*. The solution however, lies elsewhere from the primitive mindless natural selection process that produced us - and only requires a single correct meme, only made possible by intelligence and science - which freely designs sentient intelligent biology to swim in the sea of universal governing physics to overcome manmade yet physics-governed global warming.
Social science through reductionism to physics identifies applications of manmade artificial selection and logic to be the only mechanisms capable of producing the targeted cognitive-based, science-based, and systems-based adaptations necessary to design Homo sapiens survival in relationship to both overcoming obsolete biological determinisms, and achieving progressive sustainable social design in unification with the physics-governed universe. We must always remember: the physics-governed universe constitutes an objective environment of physical consequence that exists in addition to, and independent of, subjective terrestrial biological evolution.
Just as our species didn’t understand that a supernova light-years away can kill us, or that an erratic orbit asteroid can kill us, or that the amount of energy we introduce into the atmosphere can kill us*, these physics-governed phenomenon can nevertheless absolutely kill us. In addition, subjective false damaging social design that does not integrate our species thoughts and actions in sustainable unification with governing physics can also absolutely kill us - all of us – i.e. tribalism without reason and church-state exceptionalism without reason causing manmade yet physics-governed global warming.
If you are a sentient intelligent Homo sapiens you had better figure out real quick how to integrate the thoughts and actions of our entire species in sustainable unification with governing physics to overcome manmade yet physics-governed global warming*. My dad told me, when I say “jump” you say “how high” (security protocols) – and in relationship to social design, including security protocols - the bar has been raised considerably by science. Consequently - like getting petrified “stoned” - our awareness of the physics-governed universe is rapidly expanding, including that we must quickly integrate our biological function in sustainable unification with the physics-governed universe. This relationship and situation is now amply demonstrated by manmade yet physics-governed global warming. Identifying universal governing physics provides a Standard Candle* for subjective terrestrial biological evolution to achieve social and environmental sustainability by.
* * * * *
Meanwhile, natural selection on Earth remains a mindless microcosmic process that can only adapt organisms to immediate terrestrial conditions conducive to life - not variations of temperature and atmosphere to negatively affect those conditions - and not in predictive response to cosmological influences and circumstances such as a physics-governed supernova, or physics-governed global warming.
Natural selection is blind to changing terrestrial environmental conditions: natural selection will allow a species to suffer and diminish and even go extinct until organisms develop new adaptations that enable them to survive in the new environmental conditions. So far, this “social-mechanical” relationship has been determined by ignorance, which one-sided relationship causes natural selection to produce a new version of the species, or requires entirely new organisms to evolve from the ground up in response to the new environmental conditions.
Unfortunately, natural selection also remains blind to physics-governed cosmological influences, which are however, equally if not more consequential: for example, physics-governed mass extinctions, climate and environmental catastrophes*, and global warming. In all cases, the only solution is for biological organisms to perform required adaptations. In Homo sapiens case, global warming identifies that solutions are only made possible through artificial selection and logic to identify with science, monitor with scientific instruments, including steward and change appropriately through objective science-based systems-based social design.
It is extremely significant to identify that in 4 billion years, every species went extinct without ever developing the intelligence to understand why, which is a perversely poor track record for natural selection. Demonstratively, natural selection is a mindless process. Mindless natural selection has caused Homo sapiens through brain-dead instinctual tribalism without reason, and church-state exceptionalism without reason, as the equivalent of an anthill, or beehive. Clearly - mindless, brain-dead, instinctual natural selection is not our friend. I know this is difficult to process when we take ourselves so seriously, and our loved ones so seriously, and our limited scientific ability through an anthropocentric social-mechanical relationship so seriously. Meanwhile however, the biocentric mechanical-social relationship of manmade yet physics-governed global warming is also serious, and we will need to objectify our relationship with existence to overcome it.
So, what happens when natural selection will allow a species to suffer, and diminish, and even go extinct, until or unless (an ultimatum) organisms develop new adaptations? In addition, the particular new adaptation that “biology with technology” must develop is becoming the first species on Earth sighted through intelligence and see through the great veil in the sky*, to identify and overcome physics-governed cosmological influences, which through causality also affect terrestrial circumstances. In addition, when Homo sapiens must become the first species on Earth sighted through intelligence to see through the great veil on the ground*, to identify and overcome mindless natural selection influences.
Typically, people don’t like being confronted with ultimatums. So, why should we consider natural selection confronting Homo sapiens with a brain-dead ultimatum by mindlessly following the determinisms of tribalism without reason okay? Why is it okay for the falsehood of religion, growth-model capitalism on a finite planet, and church-state exceptionalism without reason, to diminish our species into a “blind fish” swimming in creepy indifferent universe-determined blackened conditions leading to global warming extinction? How is this somehow superior to our own species intellectual ability to choose performing sighted intelligent unification with bright science and shinning physics, to design social and environmental sustainability?
What happens therefore, when sentient intelligence becomes critical of the process of natural selection? Natural selection isn’t infallible (where one cannot anthropomorphize a mindless process with intelligent purpose to produce a desired result). Even within the microcosmic terrestrial environment where the process of natural selection produced Homo sapiens, natural selection has also produced many biological aberrations that we would consider an unacceptable existence. For example, fish that were once sighted but are now blind, or have both eyes grotesquely wrapped around to one side of their face. In addition, because of such natural selection many organisms then become fated to extinction*. One wonders how long Homo sapiens will allow mindless natural selection influence to wrap both of our eyes around to one side of our species head, and perceive tribalism without reason and church-state exceptionalism without reason as intractable reality, instead of controlling our destiny through artificial selection and logic.
Even though it’s more accurate to identify our evolution through past lesser ability to represent evolutionary “blindness”, we could use the distinction of being evolutionarily “sighted” or “blind” in another capacity as well. Homo sapiens for example were once “sighted”, meaning perfectly adapted to a hunting-gathering mode of production. Because of technology however, and the ability to affect the entire global ecosystem, our species is now effectively “blind”. Demonstratively, the evolution of our tribal instincts didn’t prepare us for becoming a unified global tribe thinking and acting in sustainable unification with governing physics. Meanwhile, the mindless process of natural selection is still “perfectly happy” with how our species was produced through microcosmic tribalism, and we won’t know that natural selection is “unhappy” with our species until we begin to die out and go extinct*. The immense extinction of species currently occurring however, should be giving us a clue about how “happy” natural selection is with the thoughts and actions of Homo sapiens, serial killer of planet Earth*.
If natural selection is “smarter than we are”*, why is it:
A mindless process incapable of planning or predicting the future, or producing a desired result. Every species has gone extinct without ever developing the intelligence to understand why; is “ignorance is bliss” the epitome of sweet merciful existence? Yikes. Virtually the only function of natural selection in relationship to sentient intelligent biology is to resume duties as a mindless culprit after all other attempts to design life through intelligent artificial selection fail. I.e. let’s avoid, for example, considering natural selection “smarter than we are” simply because the nasty primitive attributes selected by natural selection reemerge once again to serve our species well during our diminishment back into logistically subdivided tribalism because we ran out of fossil fuels. Homo sapiens orgy with fossil fuels may ultimately constitute a brief “blip” on the radar of natural selection, but we must still understand how mindless natural selection diminishes us through brain-dead instinctual tribalism. Unfortunately, natural selection excels at selecting primitive mindless adaptations that facilitate ignorant incompetence, i.e. the “I. D. P. (Ignorance, Division with governing physics, cause and effect Punishment) Causality Model”*.
Capable of producing vestigial organs, vestigial instincts, impaired function leading to extinction (i.e. false damaging subjective social design through the genetic expansion and territorial aggression of church-state exceptionalism without reason producing global warming), including evolutionary dead-ends.
Long slow genetic evolution has produced obsolete, false, and damaging instincts and institutions developed in response to primitive tribalism without reason and primitive modes of production, which current cultural evolution responding to global technological civilization has a difficult to global-warming-impossible time correcting.
No one can assert “survival of the fittest” or wish natural selection on another person, because it is tantamount to wishing death on them. Consequently, evolutionary biologists are careful to qualify “natural selection” acting in human society relegated to accidents and sexual selection (even though sexual selection serves tribalism without reason), including medical and genetic disorders, and never as a matter of social policy that determines “winners and losers”. Nevertheless, our vastly subjective social design actually does determine “winners and losers” to perform natural selection on: class and generational poverty, crime, and addiction; lack of healthcare; the formerly middle class poor; military recruited out of poverty without options; voluntary military and civilians recruited through the exploitation of instincts and falsehood; contrarians to conservative establishment; and those that interfere with the imperialist acquisition of natural resources.
After all these years, given the litany of mindless nasty adaptations that natural selection produces spanning the falsehood of religion, growth-model laissez faire capitalism on a finite planet, and the highest disparity of wealth to poverty and concentration of power in history, to each promote the ultra-primitive genetic expansion and territorial aggression of church-state exceptionalism without reason, including of course cause global warming, there’s almost nothing about natural selection that remains desirable for human existence. I certainly hope that the future human condition isn’t diminished into such natural selection tyranny, which is inconsistent with the advertised world accommodation of biological diversity through democracy, and the rule of law that is asserted to represent everybody equally* - moreover - inconsistent with a scientific definition of liberty in sustainable unification with governing physics.
We already know that natural selection can design and successfully exploit the falsehood of religion to bind a tribe in unity and defeat the territorial enemy*. So presumably, we already know that natural selection can design and successfully exploit the falsehood of fill-in-the-blank. For example, fundamentalist unscientific unregulated individual liberty through growth model laissez faire capitalism on a finite planet to promote church-state exceptionalism without reason, which will be equally incompatible with a scientific definition of liberty in sustainable unification with governing physics. Natural selection-determined primitive tribalism without reason is why church and state achieve system symbiosis without reason, including why the state largely represents a military and uses economics as a tool of “cold war” to promote church-state exceptionalism without reason*. Consequently, secular-progressive social design - such as providing a social safety net for all the secular hedonists – certainly has a difficult time demonstrating that their ideology contributes to church-state exceptionalism without reason.
It is overwhelmingly clear that being unscientific and being unregulated go hand-in-hand as clearly as tribalism without reason to produce church-state exceptionalism without reason, spanning the illogic, exploitability, and physical damage of religion*, to growth-model laissez faire capitalism on a finite planet*. Clearly, the tribal accommodation of religion to bind a tribe in unity and defeat the territorial enemy has caused a false damaging unscientific unregulated definition of individual liberty that cannot possibly be scientifically correct. The tribal accommodation of religion has affected militarism, politics, and economics during the mindless natural selection-determined ultra-primitive genetic expansion and territorial aggression of church-state exceptionalism without reason. This circumstance now includes religio-economics* as a tool of “cold church-state war”, spanning “Theo-conservative trickledown Reaganomics”, “The Family on C Street”, including “The Wealth of Nations” that simply enables church-state exceptionalism without reason.
Meanwhile, the ultra-primitiveness of mindless natural selection to produce tribalism without reason, and church-state exceptionalism without reason, has clashed in a head-on collision with “biology with technology” attempting to integrate with the immensely singular, truthful, objective, and consequential* physics-governed indifferent universe, for example to overcome manmade yet physics-governed global warming. Let’s hope (an accurate use of the concept of hope*) that the entirely predictable and mundane construction of America’s “cultural survival vehicle” is Homo sapiens last effort at producing tribalism without reason, and church-state exceptionalism without reason. Just as Homo sapiens were one tiny deterministic step better than Homo neanderthalensis - where one form of ignorance, instinct, and violence defeated another - the Founding Fathers social design through false duplicitous deism enabled tribalism without reason and church-state exceptionalism without reason one tiny step better than Communism did*.
A scientific definition of liberty in sustainable unification with governing physics - for example to overcome manmade yet physics-governed global warming - doesn’t identify any insurmountable problem with sexual diversity (where sexual diversity was formerly represented as “kin selection” and “inclusive fitness theory”*, and now identified through multi-level selection). A scientific definition of liberty does, however, identify a nearly insurmountable problem with determining the human condition through an unscientific unregulated definition of individual liberty that cannot possibly be scientifically correct to influence natural selection through false damaging institutions.
The hypocrisy of evolutionary biology runs rampant when the discipline makes no attempt to solve the problem of false damaging subjective social design, while remembering that no one can assert “survival of the fittest” or wish natural selection on another person, because it is tantamount to wishing death on them*. We might also consider that no one can wish the natural selection of tribalism without reason on another person, because that too is now identified as tantamount to wishing death on them.
Why should evolutionary biology kick the considerable responsibility of identifying truthful sustainable social design downhill to the humanities? Do the new hybrid natural-social sciences of sociobiology, astrobiology, and astrosociobiology, or as I prefer physiosociobiology, represent the modern status quo abilities of academia through the humanities, for example postmodernism? Postmodernism wants to turn the potential multiverse into an insolvable moral conundrum exploring hypothetical “multiple you’s” on “multiple Earth’s”* until the very real and consequential genetic expansion and territorial aggression of church-state exceptionalism without reason executed through the falsehood and damage of religion and growth-model capitalism on a finite planet causes premature global warming extinction for everyone.
The Dilemma of Mindless Natural Selection Promoting the Brain-Dead Roles of Tribalism
Hypothesis Part A: The mindless process of natural selection produces an equally “brain-dead” product; meaning, the idiosyncrasy of tribalism and the roles of tribalism are instinctual, and our species eusocial nature follows the puppet-master of tribalism unconsciously. Hypothesis Part B: Since tribalism and the roles of tribalism are ubiquitous, it is reasonable to assume that natural selection specializes us to fill these roles, which redefines our perception of “freewill”. Eusociality and tribalism determine the choices available to us, and cause the conflict and/or resolution occurring between the attributes of individual-level section and group-level selection both working together and exploiting each other.
Therefore, we should not be confused when information-based existence allows some flexibility to move in and out of the roles of tribalism, that the roles of tribalism (human colonies) are any less deterministic than specialization within an ant colony. Nobody however, wants to acknowledge this natural selection-determined truth about a eusocial/tribal species. Nevertheless, whatever roles we happen to be playing, in whatever culture, they always serve the same puppet-master of tribalism that requires the selfishness of individual-level selection and the magnanimous requirements of group-level selection to work together and exploit each other.
Ultimately, this natural drama identifies “man versus nature”*. Some may extol this natural drama with grandeur. Alternatively, some like I may condemn such drama as a mindless natural selection process producing an equally brain-dead instinctual tribal and church-state product leading to premature global warming extinction. Consequently, I’m not excited about Homo sapiens repeatedly producing ubiquitous church-state systems, militaries, and competitive ideologies, economics, and ethics that serve brain-dead instinctual tribalism without reason.
* * * * *
Natural selection predisposes us by individual ability and/or suitability to fill the roles of tribalism. This becomes perversely obvious when desperation requires enlisting increasingly young people to fill the ranks of a failing military effort. Human specialization identifies sex, age, fitness, and intelligence, including ability to acculturation, as determining factors equal in “human colonies” (tribes) to the specialization of “giant mandibles” in ant colonies, i.e. “SAFIA = GM”*.
Currently, human specialization identifies teachers (information-based existence reproducing our particular cultural survival vehicle), soldiers (sports), cheerleaders (sexual selection), and musicians (marching war drum school band). Human specialization also identifies the ubiquitous roles of conservative militarists, religionists, politicians, and economists*. Human specialization identifies that individual specialization functions in relationship to achieving group-level selection that clearly serves tribalism without reason, and church-state exceptionalism without reason. I ask, are we all supposed to still be defending tribes now - including tribalism without reason and church-state exceptionalism without reason - or moving on to performing sustainable eusocial technological globalization that defeats manmade yet physics-governed global warming?
Ubiquitous tribalism without reason is now being determined through the group-level selection of “The Wealth of Nations”, “Theo-conservative trickledown Reaganomics”, “The Family on C Street”, and extremely Jewish Wall Street, to affect economics through church-state exceptionalism without reason. Such tribalism without reason represents the human equivalent of brain-dead specialization within an ant colony. This is immensely unacceptable in relationship to capitalist exploitation producing dysfunctional disparity in wealth and concentration of power, class and generational poverty, and environmental damage, which simply exploits life to exist in a gigantic brain-dead social trap leading to premature global warming extinction.
It’s quite possible - because of how quickly wrong “biology with technology” has gone – that it’s currently smarter to be a contrarian* than a status quo teacher. Evolutionary biology identifies mindless natural selection reinforcing the brain-dead attributes of instinctual tribalism without reason to produce social and economic horror for the multitude, including global warming. It’s high-time for Homo sapiens to quit glorifying our idiosyncratic existence - our eusocial and tribally-determined “Umwelt” - and address the fundamental aspects of our demonstratively problematic human nature with intelligent scientific social design protocols.
Mindless natural selection genetically specializes us to fill the ubiquitous social roles of tribalism without reason (identified by sociobiology, gene-culture theory, and our cultural survival vehicles), where predisposition to conservative roles already mirrors brain-dead specialization within an ant colony. Alternatively, artificial selection and logic that reverse engineers a sustainable Spaceship Earth finally escapes the determinism of mindless natural selection through brain-dead instinctual tribalism, to achieve social design more enlightened, sophisticated, socially and environmentally sustainable, and distinctly humanistic*. This new way forward identifies physiosociobiology, the political philosophy of universalism, and government through the democracy of science.
Meanwhile, the modern high-school identifies a Prussian military-model* factory for producing logistically subdivided tribes competing over limiting natural resources that remains compromised by poor-quality status-quo information. (I intend the school environment to operate through truth, sustainability, and progressive options - but for now it does not.) Consequently, I don’t recommend forming sexual selection relationships in high school, unless one intends to embed their relationship in the roles of tribalism without reason through conservative interpretations of religion, politics, and economics*.
Currently, such poor-quality status-quo tribal schools that simply enable obsolete damaging genetic-determinism to qualify the information-determinism of “teachers” are representative of what’s running our country, including promoted at college and in the free market. This circumstance identifies that producing a socially and environmentally sustainable America and world has a very big problem, and it’s called “the natural selection-determined human condition”, which diminishes our species into brain-dead instinctual determinisms that facilitate geologically stagnant supercilious tribalism without reason.
Obviously, our natural selection-determined conservative eusocial/tribalism, including eusocial/tribal nature, eusocial/tribal rituals, and eusocial/tribal social design, have an extremely difficult time seeing this “eusocial/tribal human forest” for the “eusocial/tribal human trees” eusocial/tribal social condition, to accurately identify the eusocial/tribal human social condition*. Sex with our females is so glorious, sufficient to repeatedly invoke the meme of god. In point of fact however, such gloriousness only invokes a massively ignorant human ant-farm* determined through tribalism without reason, and church-state exceptionalism without reason. Global warming now identifies that this biological determinism is massively unsustainable in relationship to science-based social design protocols that design social and environmental sustainability consistent with physics-governed physical reality.
We have flown so physical pleasure high only to crash so mentally low – unless of course we fix things with a “soft landing”* - and we can fix things with a single correct meme!* Does that interest you – because such a single truthful solution where the truth can only be a single thing*, (“in the land of truth the man with a single fact is king”*) - enables predictive sustainable gloriousness that will not disappoint!* Currently however, selecting the correct alternative competing meme (Anti-theist Eco-socialism, i.e. Universalism), and becoming less sexually compromised by natural selection to simply reproduce the next eusocial/tribal teacher, soldier, cheerleader, or war-drum musician in the grand pursuit of brain-dead instinctual tribalism without reason remains difficult. Clearly, mindless natural selection diminishes us in a genetically overwhelmingly brain-dead manner to eagerly reproduce the next equally brain-dead tribalist without reason. Please don’t mistake being correct for being cruel*; I was taught that if one cannot accept criticism one cannot learn, and in an age of science, technology, and information, learning is everything. Believe me; identifying our species biological determinisms isn’t any more fun for me than it is for you.
The identification of eusocial/tribal species spanning ants to humans identifies similarities of nest building from heated and air-conditioned termite mounds, to campfires, to nuclear-powered cities. Similarities include eusocial/tribal defense through individual specialization enabling group-level selection, spanning giant mandibles, to DARPA, to free market ARPA-E, and even “be happy” human condition entertainers, which must now bear the scrutiny of science to identify columns of humans working similar to ants. Our ability to “freewill” however, regarding “the choices we make” affecting our “own individual specialization” - including our ability through information-based existence to move in and out of the roles of tribalism - “makes making” this self-observation about our own biological eusocial/tribal determinisms almost impossible*.
It is entirely possible if the pre-adaptations of our eusocial/tribal human social condition is finally revealed - far beyond simply being evolved from troglodyte Chimpanzees - but including the extensive biological determinisms that cause us eusocial/tribal hominids to mimic other eusocial/tribal species, that we as a species and as individuals could not handle it. Revealing such “forbidden knowledge” might initiate both religious and secular backlash resulting in human Armageddon*. Meanwhile, unscientific unregulated social design that is immensely false and damaging in relationship to science-identified protocols that enable sustainable eusocial technological globalization causes us to remain in this natural selection-determined fog-of-biological-warfare “malaise”*.
The competitive capitalist market serving tribalism without reason already mimics brain-dead specialization equal in form to an ant colony*, yet goes far beyond in brain-dead destructive function while reproducing tribalism without reason through the exponential effects of technology. Many like to glorify “technological capitalism”, but it is rather pathetic to my understanding of the biological determinism that caused it, and which it serves. Clearly, our social-mechanical biological determinism identifies “The Wealth of Nations”, “Theo-conservative trickledown Reaganomics”, and “extremely Jewish Wall Street” promoting the genetic expansion and territorial aggression of church-state exceptionalism without reason leading to premature global warming extinction.
An individual’s ability to escape this natural trap by achieving disparity in wealth and concentration of power while subject to and maintaining all manner of social falsehood and damaging economic exploitation is not a virtue we should be extolling, but rather witnessing as a human-ant-queen aberration*. Show me a successful capitalist and I’ll show you a successful tribalist without reason, and a successful church-state exceptionalist without reason. The solution to the human condition lies elsewhere from natural selection, the peacock’s tail* of disparity in wealth and concentration of power, and religio-economic church-state systems that require turning money, poverty, and falsehood into violence.
The Dilemma of Mindless Natural Selection-Determined Tribalism without Reason Facilitated by Capitalism
Hypothesis: Since tribalism without reason and the roles of tribalism without reason are ubiquitous, it’s reasonable to assume that capitalism serves the group-level selection of tribalism without reason, specifically the genetic expansion and territorial aggression of church-state exceptionalism without reason. The philosophical generalization of “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness”* represents subjective constructs consistent with the subjective ability of church-state exceptionalism without reason, which evolutionary biology identifies serves the underlying biological function of enabling genetic expansion and territorial aggression. In addition, methodologies such as the “Wealth of Nations”, “Game Theory”, and “Theo-conservative trickledown Reaganomics” each represent competitive economics to facilitate group-level selection determined by the genetic expansion and territorial aggression of church-state exceptionalism without reason.
Historically, group-level selection through the genetic expansion and territorial aggression of church-state exceptionalism without reason escalates in intensity, which identifies achieving group-level selection in relationship to “Spear vs. Shield” methodology. Consequently, current manifestations of the church-state spanning “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness”, “The Wealth of Nations”, “Game Theory”, and “Theo-conservative trickledown Reaganomics” methodologies each serve the same biological battlefield methodologies, tactics, and strategies* of church-state exceptionalism without reason.
Consequently - given the biological determinism of group-level selection spanning “Spear vs. Shield”, “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness”, “The Wealth of Nations”, “Game Theory”, and “Theo-conservative trickledown Reaganomics” methodologies – it is clear that our eusocial/tribal species readily sacrifices individuals (individual-level selection) on the biological battlefield of tribalism without reason, and church-state exceptionalism without reason, through military sacrifices, religious sacrifices, and now laissez faire capitalist economic sacrifices.
A famous example is the declaration that “one regrets they have but one life to give for their country”. Alternatively, as a child, I had the polar opposite reaction while witnessing a world determined by the falsehood of religion, including poverty and war; I had “cold feet” from the very beginning. The world I witnessed lost me very early, and very quickly. I went through the subsequent training in competitiveness, and was successfully competitive to honor my friends and family. Nevertheless, the entire exercise seemed like going through motions that didn’t make sense to me while witnessing a world determined by the falsehood of religion, poverty, and war among our own species. Only now, after a lifetime of study do I understand how correct I was, and continue to be.
Of course, how church-state exceptionalism without reason (national exceptionalism) achieves group-level selection “success” through increasing GNP with “Theo-conservative trickledown Reaganomics” and other methodologies, all at the individual’s expense, is utterly perverse. Through reductionism to evolutionary biology there is little difference between the militarism of church-state exceptionalism without reason in America determined through disparity in wealth and concentration of power attempted to be made palatable by poorly-determined “liberty”, “freedom”, “democracy”, and “economics”, and for example the militarism of North Korea to achieve the same church-state exceptionalism without reason through stripped-down bold-faced “national exceptionalism”. America is simply more fork-tongued (deism) and self-deceptive (rhetoric and propaganda), i.e. hypocritical, about servicing tribalism without reason and church-state exceptionalism without reason.
Possibly this explains why (including as the child of a secular family) I instinctually mistrusted “the world” demonstrated through religion, war, and poverty. I made, as a child, the profound mistake of thinking that our species must know what it’s doing, which I now understand was incorrect. As a child, I instinctually knew that between religion and science, only one position could be correct, and I chose science. I understand now why everything I instinctually gravitated to represents an alternative human condition determined by artificial selection and logic.
Economic sacrifices span class poverty, the financialization of the economy, and promoting disparity in wealth (Obama endorsing tyrant Steve Jobs, including every tyrant Theo-conservative/economic libertarian leader of industry and sports team owner), including the “externalities” of environmental sacrifices, which each constitutes the tools of group-level selection through biological warfare determined by tribalism without reason, and church-state exceptionalism without reason, to produce human perversion, horror, and global warming. If I were the fictional devil, I would be parading bold-face down every main-street in America, and the world, freely ejaculating horror in response to Homo sapiens “state of nature” determined by ignorance, division, and punishment. Ubiquitous tribalism without reason, and corresponding church-state exceptionalism without reason, occurs both foreign and domestic, which literally qualifies the falsehood of religion, growth-model laissez faire capitalism on a finite planet, and church-state exceptionalism without reason as “Homo sapiens treason” in relationship to achieving truthful sustainable social design, including overcoming global warming.
American-style fundamentalist individual liberty is philosophically generalized as “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” - yet in point of fact represents the genetic expansion and territorial aggression of church-state exceptionalism without reason - which destroys both “civilization” and the natural environment, i.e. dysfunctional social and economic stratification and global warming. American-style fundamentalist individual liberty has produced Theo-conservative versus secular-progressive social, economic, and governing polarization, spanning The Patriot Act, Theo-conservative trickledown Reaganomics, and a “do-nothing” partisan Senate. We shouldn’t be impressed therefore, that the false damaging unscientific unregulated individual liberty of America “even allows”, through deism, a Theo-conservative versus secular-progressive social debate to occur (in contrast to the bad old days of strictly enforced Theo-conservatism). Both positions – including progressive democrats - function under the same umbrella of tribalism without reason, and church-state exceptionalism without reason, which causes traditional political democracy to be virtually useless.
This may be why our eusocial/tribal nature attempts to extol the virtues of individualism so highly, because it makes our eusocial/tribal nature feel good to promote excellence (including conflate excellence with wealth) while providing a pecking-order attempt at polite appeasement and accommodation of the lowly sacrificial individual subject to class and generational poverty, including militarism and religion. For example, the nice African-American Lady telling centrist “non-ideological” Obama that she’s tired of defending him – until, after all the ultra-primitive natural selection-determined abandonment and abuse - “the call of tribal duty” adds injury to insult through lack of options that causes (hypothetical) premature death for the nice lady’s son on the biological battlefield to procure unsustainable fossil fuels in a foreign sovereign state being coerced and exploited by the tribally-determined “free market”*. Unfortunately, this circumstance constitutes a gigantic mindless natural selection-determined cosmic practical joke on the human condition, where we actually believe (or hope) that conventional tribally-determined politics or “free market” can actually “fix things”.
Presumably, economic libertarians extol the virtues of individualism to abstract themselves from the influence of others* through philosophies of economic stratification that “throws the key away on people” while trading closed prisons for open war in a grand attempt to exempt, insulate, and protect themselves from the brain-dead tribal call of duty. A direct consequence of identifying multi-level selection determined by church-state exceptionalism without reason is the ability to identify the dynamic between those that wish to be insulated group-level selection “chiefs” and “priests” rather than individual-level selection sacrificial “braves”.
Economic libertarianism simply constitutes the secular “state exceptionalism” component of church-state exceptionalism, which functions through disparity in wealth and concentration of power consistent with church-state exceptionalism. Economic libertarians may dislike the function of church-state democracy and taxation compromising their efforts at abstraction from others; yet economic libertarianism functions through the same false damaging unscientific unregulated definition of individual liberty that enables the falsehood of religion and growth-model laissez faire capitalism on a finite planet through the same definition, which cannot possibly be scientifically correct. Consequently, economic libertarianism does nothing to solve the dilemma of tribalism without reason and church-state exceptionalism without reason, or global warming.
Consequently, the economic libertarian “objectivist” philosophy is still nowhere close to performing the objective social design protocols necessary to achieve social and environmental sustainability through biological unification with governing physics, for example to overcome manmade yet physics-governed global warming. Economic libertarianism is demonstrated as microcosmic, and primitive, because like virtually all institutions it is determined by mindless natural selection to enable ubiquitous tribalism without reason, but doesn’t actually solve the problem of tribalism without reason and church-state exceptionalism without reason in relationship to “biology with technology” achieving social and environmental sustainability.
Nevertheless, mindless natural selection determinism now identifies that “the science of brain-dead instinctual tribalism without reason to cause the genetic expansion and territorial aggression of church-state exceptionalism without reason” actually constitutes a legitimate study. Clearly, the idiosyncrasy of Homo sapiens is just one tiny step better than poor old “ignorance is bliss” Homo neanderthalensis, whom we persecuted to genocidal extinction*. Does it surprise anyone that genocidal monsters Homo sapiens are also the serial killers of planet Earth? I can’t imagine however, such “Game Theory” being the epitome of social science - which theory the CIA “swears by” while persecuting foreign leaders, governments, and cultures to extinction - without social science performing any superior social design solution.
Hypothesis Part A: If the meme of capitalism is being selected for survival, it is the most efficient/effective economic system at promoting tribalism without reason through the genetic expansion and territorial aggression of church-state exceptionalism without reason. Hypothesis Part B: The success of America’s church-state “national exceptionalism” is enabled by “objectivist” philosophies “consented-upon” by the church-state: specifically deism, deism-determined individual liberty, and economic libertarianism that doesn’t affect deism, which “eusocially” (i.e. individual selection vs. group selection) enables both freedom of religion and statistically improbable upward mobility that appeases the lowly class-poverty sacrificial individual (where the state must maintain social and economic stratification to turn money, poverty, and falsehood into violence), which maintains tribalism without reason and church-state exceptionalism without reason.
The clearest way of summarizing this unfortunate evolutionary circumstance is identifying tribalism without reason to produce “a closed loop of negative feedback”, or “negative circular logic”. The roles of brain-dead tribalism without reason are so ubiquitous that we can’t even recognize when the concept of “liberty” represents satire and farce. The satire is, information-based existence identifies that group-level selection is now simply reproducing poor-quality status-quo cultural information as uniformly as genetic evolution reproduces genes with as low a mutation rate as possible. The farce is avoiding poverty and death among a species where information-based existence allows us to move in and out of the roles of tribalism, where our entire lives are dedicated to learning how to fill “desirable roles” in tribalism without reason and church-state exceptionalism without reason. Yikes again.
We fill the roles of tribalism robotically through cultural assimilation by mimicking our parents. We process our children to produce quantifiable tribalism through information-based existence by passing tests in grade school that reproduce our particular cultural survival vehicle. We dream about which tribal role we wish to fill when we grow up. We play our freewill parts according to the attributes of individual-level selection integrating with and/or exploiting the attributes of group-level selection. We exit stage left having provided the performance of a lifetime, which is glorified or condemned in its ability to design successful tribalism. Ultimately, all individuals are judged in their relationship to the group, which is part of eusociality; otherwise, we would have all reverted to a solitary existence and die alone in the woods. Unfortunately, this entire process occurs under the umbrella of tribalism without reason, and church-state exceptionalism without reason.
Unfortunately, the ubiquitous ability of tribalism without reason to produce the genetic expansion and territorial aggression of church-state exceptionalism without reason has been poorly philosophically generalized as “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”. Such philosophical generalizations were the best church-state systems could produce in an attempt to service both our biological determinisms and the social design that church-state systems require to turn money, poverty, and falsehood into violence. Nevertheless, the philosophical generalizations of church-state systems are now demonstrated as grandiosely incompatible with designing sustainable global eusocial technological civilization, including maintain the delicately balanced nonlinear feedback loops of global ecosystems and overcome manmade yet physics-governed global warming.
Overcoming manmade yet physics-governed global warming identifies social system unification with governing physics, which requires eliminating tribalism without reason to produce church-state exceptionalism without reason, where obsolete instincts and religion diminishes economics into competitive dysfunction. Alternative to church-state systems turning money, poverty, and falsehood into violence, objective social design now identifies minimizing social and economic stratification to enable secular-progressive collectivism in unification with the physics-governed ecosystem. Consequently, capitalism is demonstrated as a weak meme that is being propped-up by ideological fanaticism consistent with ultra-primitive tribalism without reason and church-state exceptionalism without reason, and not consistent with sustainable global eusocial technological civilization, and therefore ready to die and be replaced by a superior more accurate and sustainable meme.
The determinism of tribalism without reason identifies that church-state exceptionalism without reason requires exploiting money (the construct of money, sovereign currencies, including disparity in wealth), poverty (class and generational poverty), and falsehood (religion, including poorly qualified liberty, freedom, and democracy) to perform violence. Once tribalism without reason and church-state exceptionalism without reason is identified to require turning money, poverty, and falsehood into violence, it is simple and logical to abandon tribalism, church-state exceptionalism, and the construct of money, and adopt new social design through Anti-theist Eco-socialism (Universalism) using a moneyless resource-based economy*.

It is true that any intrinsic quality can be exploited - like life needing to survive – so let’s hope we don’t ever exploit that fundamental aspect of our own existence. Ooops – too late – Adam Smith’s “quantifiable equation”* already exploits the intrinsic quality of life needing to survive through capitalist exploitation. Capitalism commoditizes people by subjecting their ability to survive to conditions of incentivizing determined by trickledown benefits that are always minimized to achieve the highest profit retention. Moreover, this “Wealth of Nations” serves church-state systems that require turning money, poverty, and falsehood into violence. Consequently, some might identify such capitalist exploitation determined through a false damaging unscientific unregulated definition of individual liberty that enables the falsehood of religion and laissez faire capitalism through the same definition - which cannot possibly be scientifically correct - to “play god”*, badly.
For example, some have accused allegiance to unregulated fundamentalist laissez faire capitalism poked by the sharp stick of economic libertarianism to resemble a “religious fervor”*. Just as “if it results in a satisfying destruction of the enemy”* we are all capable of atrocities that are inconsistent with the rule of law, the atrocity of growth-model laissez faire capitalism on a finite planet through trickledown economics and economic libertarianism qualifies everyone as the enemy. Moreover, circa 2013, manmade laws aren’t even close to representing the democracy of knowledge identified by science and governing physics. Consequently, secular-progressive Keynesian morality* has been replaced by conservative Milton Freidman “the business of business is business” commoditization. This conservatism results in pursuing a satisfying destruction of everyone as the enemy to negate far more than the rule of law, but the entirety of political democracy*, the social safety net, any ability to FDR’s Second Bill of Rights, including cause global warming.
David Domke identifies data points that demonstrate a surge of damaging religion to negatively affect society and economics directly after Theo-conservative Reagan took office, which began a period of virtual republican hegemony until 2008. Qualifying everyone as the enemy through Theo-conservative trickledown Reaganomics produced a surge of competitive tribal religion (Mormons and evangelicals), competitive tribal politics through criminal deregulation, spanning taxation, the Patriot Act, and “Citizens United”, including (obviously) competitive tribal economics through laissez faire trickledown capitalism, all to service ultra-primitive brain-dead instinctual tribalism without reason and church-state exceptionalism without reason. It really is too bad that “you get so much more”* out of people when needing to survive is commoditized and exploited for profit during the surge of fundamentalist religion and politics that competitive economics causes in the service of ultra-primitive brain-dead instinctual tribalism without reason and church-state systems that requires turning money, poverty, and falsehood into violence.
I don’t believe that our species is lazy, stupid, or evil however,* and are otherwise unmotivated without being prodded along by manmade money determined through ultra-primitive capitalist exploitation that serves tribalism without reason and church-state exceptionalism without reason*. The phenomenon of South Korea and Mata Ortiz identify that if poverty stricken populations are simply enabled* - people all over the world are capable of producing world-class products - and that art can promote our species as well as anything can*. Clearly, such enablement could occur absent from the immensely problematic tribally-determined free market - where church-state systems require turning money, poverty, and falsehood into violence – for example through reverse engineering a sustainable Spaceship Earth to produce the sustainable regulation and distribution of resources.
Meanwhile, capitalist exploitation becomes so abusive and cynical a process that “managing people” with both market and rule of law* simply attempts avoiding people from becoming a problem. This abusive cynical process identifies promoting the concepts of “individual responsibility” and “self-sufficiency” while simultaneously condemning people to fundamentalist individual liberty that promotes religion and “profit before people” to produce unlivable low wages, and the opiate of the masses to sooth their misery.
Alternatively, objective social design could enable people to their fullest potential from the beginning in a truthful system that didn’t predate on them. Ultimately, this identifies the profound difference between mindless indifferent natural selection to produce brain-dead instinctual tribalism without reason and church-state exceptionalism without reason that requires turning money, poverty, and falsehood into violence, or instead using our species intelligence to design Homo sapiens-sympathetic artificial selection. Which side are you on?* If we want to enable our dreams, using our species intelligence to design Homo sapiens-sympathetic artificial selection is how we enable them.
The Mata Ortiz phenomenon identifies that within a population a certain percent can produce world-class products - but the majority cannot - nor should they be statistically expected to, or moreover need to. Obviously, statistically, people shouldn’t need to gain survival in an economic system that only rewards “world-class” products. Especially when such “world class” products are defined by supply-side economics that over-consume resources to over-produce products to maintain both Say’s Law and low-low wages, which traps us in a cycle of social, economic, and environmental abuse. We all know what happens through capitalism when tyrants aren’t allowed to exercise supply-side economics to increase profits – “large” pizzas just keep getting smaller and smaller. Capitalism isn’t called “capitalism” for nothing: capitalism will either consume the entire planet over profit, including while punishing Homo sapiens with microscopic wags, or punish Homo sapiens while attempting to survive on microscopic pizzas. Why then, assert that Americans should compete with China, when China practices state protectionism that America doesn’t, and where the majority of such “world class” products maintain supply-side economics that line both the shelves of the dollar store and tyrants pockets?
Moreover, if we all need to be playing by the same rules, Homo sapiens aren’t even close to playing by the same rules that design brain-dead instinctual tribalism without reason and church-state exceptionalism without reason in sustainable unification with physics-governed physical reality, for example to defeat manmade yet physics-governed global warming. Determining economics through a “free marketplace of ideas” compromised by natural selection-determined ultra-primitive tribalism without reason, and church-state exceptionalism without reason that requires turning money, poverty, and falsehood into violence, is consequently demonstrated as utterly bankrupt*.
This may be a rhetorical question to convention determined by tribalism without reason and church-state exceptionalism without reason that requires turning money, poverty, and falsehood into violence, but why not simply enable people to their fullest potential from the beginning in a truthful system that didn’t predate on them? Some identify that there are sufficient resources to distribute to them*. Moreover, reverse engineering a sustainable Spaceship Earth makes supply and demand a perennially sustainable equation. Homo sapiens shouldn’t be diminished into only producing results because we need to survive while being predated on by capitalist exploitation, which institution is clearly the product of mindless natural selection-determined brain-dead tribalism without reason and church-state exceptionalism without reason. Our species can provide for itself much better than by remaining subject to such mindless natural selection-determined tyranny*.
Natural selection after all, isn’t a “truthful” system. For example, natural selection has no intelligent ability to produce a species in sustainable unification with the physics-governed indifferent universe. Consequently, every species has gone mindlessly extinct in relationship to understanding or adjusting their function in sustainable unification with either terrestrially determined circumstances, or ultimately, physics-governed circumstances. Examples span physics-governed habitat/climate catastrophes both geological and atmospheric, rouge asteroids, other cosmological catastrophes that we haven’t yet encountered, and of course manmade yet physics-governed global warming.
Sentient biology requires developing intelligence and performing solutions through artificial selection and logic in order to produce a desired result in unification with governing physics. Clearly, only artificial selection and logic can produce truthful sustainable social design consistent with governing physics, for example to overcome manmade yet physics-governed global warming. Consequently, a social system cannot avoid a populace from becoming a problem - which is a group-level selection issue - through the concept of “individual responsibility”, which is an individual-level selection issue, when that social system is corrupted and made dysfunctional through the institutional falsehood of religion and growth-model laissez faire capitalism on a finite planet. Clearly, the institutions of religion and growth-model laissez faire capitalism are simply products of mindless natural selection-determined tribalism without reason producing the genetic expansion and territorial aggression of church-state exceptionalism without reason that requires turning money, poverty, and falsehood into violence.
Free trade could be considered a democratic process. Why should then, a “democratic process” determine human quality of life through social and economic stratification for the worse? The answer is it shouldn’t; the democracy of knowledge and political democracy should design social and environmental sustainability first, and profit second - but that’s not what happens - because our definition of individual liberty is false and damaging*. I.e. our definition of individual liberty is “religio-economic exotic”, which is reflective of natural selection-determined brain-dead tribalism without reason producing church-state exceptionalism without reason, including conservative institutions that exploit individuals in relationship to maintaining the status quo of “successful” tribalism without reason. Not surprisingly, these Old World institutions have become massively unsustainable in relationship to exponentially idiosyncratic “biology with technology”. It’s an old joke, but we need a new status quo; and not in colorful variety of tribal design, rather with our species relationship with nature itself*.
Meanwhile, our conception of political democracy determined by tribalism without reason and church-state exceptionalism without reason (which is massively inconsistent with the democracy of knowledge identified by science and governing physics) to enable false damaging religion and growth-model laissez faire capitalism on a finite planet through the same definition of liberty - which is scientifically impossible – remains, nonetheless, the status quo. When we identify however, our species biological determinism through tribalism without reason and church-state exceptionalism without reason to produce militarism, religion, and competitive and conservative ideologies and ethics, including socially dysfunctional disparity in wealth and concentration of power, all in relationship to the secular-progressive social and economic collectivism required to successfully manage limiting resources, maintain the delicately balanced nonlinear feedback loops of the ecosystem, and overcome global warming – we see the extensive biological determinisms that corrupts free trade into dysfunction, i.e. “Free Trade Doesn’t Work”*.
Capitalist exploitation feeds on its own brain-dead instinctual tribal-tail in a mindless natural selection race to the bottom, equal to evolutionarily blind fish masturbating in the dark. Such natural selection-determined blind masturbation is evidenced by both a false damaging unscientific unregulated definition of individual liberty that cannot possibly be scientifically correct, and resulting predatory market, for example the strip malls of bottom-feeding business models.
Blood-banks, payday loan stores, fast food, and dollar stores - each floating next to the other - identify that the natural selection lady doth protest too much. In addition, floating in the blackened indentured servitude ocean of the debtor-lender market that exploits people to borrow their way into the middle class identifies the tribalism of extremely Jewish religio-economic exotic Wall Street. Consequently, religio-economic tribalism without reason has caused an unscrupulous “financialization”* of America’s economy to now constitute a dysfunctional 40% of ultra-primitive tribal GNP. (I have zero motivation to demonize the Jewish people; the analysis of tribalism without reason and church-state exceptionalism without reason simply reveals religio-economic influence where it is found.)
Sam Harris identifies that all three branches of government are infected with the cancer of fundamentalist religion*, and how this causes society to become dysfunctional. Moreover, virtually all the major atheists and evolutionary biologists have produced serious academic efforts that condemn the falsehood and damage of religion, and of course many academics have condemned capitalism as well. Clearly however, most constituents are incapable of responding to progressive academic arguments, and instead rely on instinctual assessments of character, emotion, and brain-dead tribalism-determined bullet-point talking points*. Nonetheless, one of my favorite information-based assessments of religion is Douglas Krueger’s “What is Atheism”, which identifies how faith-based reasoning is illogical, easily exploitable, and causes physical damage, which identifies social science through reductionism to physics.
Meanwhile, it is commonplace that the rule of law in America is represented by a conservative judge spanning Supreme Court Justice to local County jurisdiction that thinks the people that are paraded before them are poor or troubled because they are evil, and willing to “throw the key away” on anyone perceived affecting America’s ability to design a covenant between man and god through the prosperity of money. After all, American religion must evangelize the entire planet before Jesus can return to Earth and perform the Rapture, so let’s make sure the Democratic platform officially recognizes defending Jerusalem as a religio-political priority. Ouch.
Consequently, there is no sustainable ability to personal responsibility spanning local, county, state, national, and international scales through a definition of liberty that enables the falsehood of religion and growth-model laissez faire capitalism on a finite planet through the same definition, which is scientifically impossible. Show me an example of such “personal responsibility” and I’ll show you a statistical aberration determined by tribalism without reason and church-state exceptionalism without reason that destroys both society and the natural environment.
For example, it’s scientifically impossible to maintain disparity in wealth and concentration of power, in relationship to the social and economic equality necessary to produce systems-based sustainable unification with governing physics. It’s scientifically impossible to maintain a supernatural god-governed afterlife hierarchy, in relationship to maintaining the natural physics-governed hierarchy that governs the delicately balanced nonlinear feedback loops of the ecosystem, and global warming. Nothing screams “PRODUCE A TECHNO-FIX NOW” for global warming by emphasizing the tribalism of producing anther “Sputnik generation” to influence “free market” ARPA-E more than church-state exceptionalism without reason that requires turning money, poverty, and falsehood into violence. The entire church-state model depends on producing a techno-fix, and avoiding a socio-fix through atheism and ecosocialism. Clearly, maintaining such scientific impossibility defended as liberty™, freedom™, capitalism™, and democracy™ in America* identifies why church-state empires become over extended while managing a false damaging agenda, and always fail*.
Mindless natural selection that is incapable of planning or predicting the future is incompatible with predictive science, deterministic governing physics that produce dynamic situations such as asteroids and global warming, including predictive sustainable social design. Many of our progressive civil liberties are demonstrated to contradict our primitive instincts. Certainly, no one can defend both God and Darwin in the same sentence: deism is dead, and freedom of speech in division with deterministic science and governing physics is correspondingly dead. Moreover, no one can wish “survival of the fittest” or natural selection on another person, because it is tantamount to wishing death on them, which is why evolutionary biologists are careful to confine identifying natural selection in human society to “medical and genetic disorders”.
These examples all demonstrate the immense liabilities* of mindless natural selection, spanning species extinction, to philosophical extinction, to politically correct extinction between natural selection acting in society and the ability of science to manage natural selection acting in society. Lots of fish with both eyes grotesquely wrapped around to one side of their head sporting a vestigial organ, floating around in a horrific darkened existence of flesh and teeth, including Homo sapiens that are critical of tribalism without reason, will confirm such a critical appraisal of mindless natural selection.
E. O. Wilson identifies the following human instincts through sociobiology*:
· Bonding Between Parents and Children
· Division of Labor between the Sexes
· Dominance Orders within Groups
· Heightened Altruism toward Closest Kin
· Incest Avoidance
· Male Dominance Overall
· Male Promiscuity
· Other Forms of Ethical Behavior [i.e. militarism, religion, politics, economics*]
· Suspicion of Strangers
· Territorial Aggression over Limiting Resources
· Tribalism
Homo sapiens are currently attempting to sort through these instincts, and determine which remain relevant to our species new manmade yet physics-governed global warming circumstances. For example, scientists have identified dietary habits developed during our hunting-gathering period indicate placing high value in sweet and fatty foodstuffs. Today of course, not only are these “high value” sweet and fatty foodstuffs plentiful, but also the most affordable foodstuffs. Consequently, not only do all Homo sapiens demonstrate a propensity to covet sugar and fat, but those subject to Theo-conservative trickledown Reaganomics low income are virtually forced to consume sugar and fat from the industrial-high-fructose-corn-syrup-food-chain*.
Americans have been fat and happy and apathetic while evaporating their online virtual interactions into the ether*, and while exploiting our obsolete instincts spanning coveting fat and sugar to acquiring the peacock’s tail with disparity in wealth enabled by the church-state through Theo-conservative trickledown Reaganomics supporting the industrial-high-fructose-corn-syrup-food-chain. During this perversion that predates on the sacrificial individual, we have listened to American Presidents glamorize the benefits of “liberty™”, “freedom™”, “democracy™”, and “capitalism™” determined by church-state exceptionalism without reason that requires turning money, poverty, and falsehood into violence. In the process, Homo sapiens have traded truth, dignity, nobility, and sustainability for disparity in wealth and global warming, including potential “certain as instincts and clogged arteries” premature extinction. I hope that when we weigh the value of our species against profit during the final days of global warming horror, that multi-level selection and our cultural survival vehicles are filthy rich with brain-dead embarrassment.
The most obvious example of sorting through these instincts, and determining which remain relevant to our species new physics-governed global warming circumstances, is since the Civil Rights Movement the Woman’s Movement is challenging male dominance hierarchy and the division of labor. The Woman’s Movement is also challenging male promiscuity with child support, and arguably forms of ethical behavior through increasing lesbianism, including gay parenting. Moreover, the Civil Rights movement is challenging all forms of instinctual behavior determined through tribalism without reason and a hunting-gathering mode of production:
· The Woman’s Movement is challenging division of labor between the sexes and male dominance hierarchy.
· Traditional male-female conceptions of bonding between parents and children now include gay parents.
· Holding male promiscuity accountable through child support.
· Extending altruism through charity, philanthropy, and social welfare programs.
· Minimizing suspicion of strangers through the melting pot of democracy, the rule of law, and globalization.
· Minimizing tribalism through democracy, the rule of law, and market collaboration.
· Homogenizing (flattening) dominance orders within groups through market collaboration (“Wikinomics”), including through democracy.
· Some might assert that we are minimizing territorial aggression over limiting resources by developing the greatest wealth and plenty in the history of the world enabled by fossil fuels. Unfortunately, this argument implodes after accounting for “externalities” such as dysfunctional disparity in wealth, concentration of power, stagnate economically and socially conservative government protecting big oil, class poverty, pollution, biodiversity loss, global warming, and repeated subversion, wars, and occupation of foreign oil producing nations.

Darwin ingeniously immediately identified that the “gladiator theory” of evolution was false – where uniformly selecting individual-level selection tyrants is non-conducive to the group-level selection requirements of a eusocial/tribal species. Darwin therefore identified the domestication of dogs from wolves as a model* for our own species domestication, to emphasize Mutual Aid, i.e. group-level selection. In addition, because of “biology with technology”, group-level selection has taken on all new science-identified deterministic requirements that Darwin, Marx, and the Founding Fathers did not have access to. Nevertheless, Darwin was correct: mutual understanding and mutual aid is now required to overcome the trappings of ultra-primitive tribalism without reason, and church-state exceptionalism without reason, and produce a new sustainable social and environmental human condition.
Natural selection - with one possible exception demonstrated by the emergent cognitive abilities of a eusocial hairless hominid - produces and then exploits a mindless primitive instinctual sexual hell. Consequently, natural selection has always resulted in mindless extinction so utter as to be completely unaware of the cosmological determinism through stellar nucleosynthesis* that produced the potential of life to exist at all, including evolutionary determinisms such as eusociality, tribalism, and multi-level selection.
Meanwhile, presumably, natural selection considers it “okay” for a species to sexually reproduce their way into brain-dead instinctual oblivion, i.e. the “sexual hell” metaphor I began the chapter with, including the evolutionary dead-end of global warming. This situation spanning deterministic objective physics-governed cosmological construction, and equally deterministic ignorant subjective biological evolution, identifies that life is subject to fundamental cosmic contradiction. Natural selection is consequently proven subject to a plethora of biological determinisms that do not enable making sustainable adaptations in relationship to physics-governed existence, for example to overcome manmade yet physics-governed global warming.
Given such extensive adversity - where neither natural selection nor a god is capable of helping us any further - should we just give up? No, we should move on to the next chapter of Homo sapiens journey on planet Earth in the indifferent universe, with purpose and confidence through the predictive ability of science.

Introduction
Astrobiology* identifies that the indifferent universe produces entire regions of galactic construction not conducive to biological existence (dead zones plagued with various forms of radiation), and that’s in galaxies that are conducive to biological existence at all, as many galaxies are completely uninhabitable. Not surprisingly, the indifferent universe also produces planetary conditions not conducive to biological existence; for example Earth’s evil twin Venus, including during much of planet Earths history complex multi-cellular biological existence wasn’t possible at all.
Debating the indifferent universes ability to affect planetary weather patterns* however - which with all due respect is immensely important in relationship to manmade yet physics-governed global warming - really misses the bigger picture point about how problematic life in the indifferent universe actually is. Neil deGrasse Tyson is expert at identifying all the ways the universe tries to kill us, which destroys the concept of intelligent design*. In addition, the Rare Earth theory identifies that complex multi-cellular life is rare and precious. To summarize the point - there’s no all-powerful “man in the sky” looking out for us. Identifying the myriad cosmological circumstances that are non-conducive to multi-cellular life – i.e. the Rare Earth theory – including the myriad evolutionary circumstances of pre-adaptations leading to producing a sentient intelligent eusocial hairless hominid – all conflate the fact that our sentient eusocial existence is rare enough to warrant intelligent state-of-the-art protectionist* measures.
What happens then - since our species is so astrobiologically lucky to have evolved through immensely problematic cosmological and terrestrial natural selection - and then only recently acquired ability to it - when we instead favor the intelligent cognitive process of artificial selection and logic? What happens when we favor our species chances to survive and improve through progressive cognitive-based cultural evolution, where everything Homo sapiens interacts with is planned and designed to ensure our species survival. Of course, a Dyson Sphere* is the epitome of artificial selection, which ability remains far beyond Homo sapiens. Obviously, Homo sapiens will be challenged in our idiosyncratic ability to artificial selection and logic through feats of social and physical engineering.
Predictively, this new cognitive and science-based product is vastly different than the product produced through past lesser influences. This superior new product has no concern with exploiting mindless natural selection-determined tribalism without reason to enable the genetic expansion and territorial aggression of church-state exceptionalism without reason, (most recently expressed through the philosophical generalization of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”). Rather, this superior new product is concerned with enabling truth for everyone equally, including science-based systems-based collectivism in sustainable unification with the physics-governed cause and effect natural hierarchy*.
Homo sapiens have demonstrated certain evolutionary success through artificial selection and logic to design both biologically specific cause and effect, and ultimately physics-governed cause and effect, in our species favor. Examples span Organic Fire, The Wheel, Agrarian Surplus, Animal Husbandry, Plant Grafting, Gene Splicing, Science, Technology, The Atomic Bomb, Air flight, Spaceflight, Nuclear Energy, and Artificial Intelligence. Consistent with our species ability with artificial selection and logic to escape the Earth and observe it from space, social science through reductionism to physics identifies reverse engineering a sustainable Spaceship Earth. From this enlightened perspective, tribalism evaporates, and the single species of Homo sapiens emerges. From this enlightened perspective, circumnavigated boundaries are not pushed close to the breaking point, but rather prudently designed to function well within a margin of safety regarding what we can produce and consume in a sustainable manner.
The problem however, is that the trappings of primitive bottom-up natural selection resulting in tribalism without reason to produce the genetic expansion and territorial aggression of church-state exceptionalism without reason causes our species inability to integrate our biological function in a sustainable manner with the top-down laws of governing physics. We document this inability spanning the biological determinisms of evolutionary biology to individual psychology.
* * * * *
Enabled by reductionism, Western medicine has studied the human body and brain, and has confirmed a “soul made flesh”*. Western medicine has moved on from Galen to identify a new “positivist” starting point, which has identified evolution and natural selection to determine the human body. Natural selection however, isn’t turning out to be the solution to the human condition, rather the cause of a flawed human condition determined through tribalism without reason.
It is now a luxury to consider that the old dilemma was simply having no goal external to our own biological function*. The new dilemma is far worse – we now identify that our function is fundamentally flawed at the group-selection level by tribalism without reason. At the group-selection level, the new dilemma is that, our species can’t move forward from the new starting point of positivism, when all that positivism does is serve tribalism without reason. For example, such “positivism” has conflated capitalism with “Darwinism” to justify a primitive exploited human condition determined by religio-economics, including cause global warming.
The Dilemma of Tribalism without Reason during a Capitalist Mode of Production
In relationship to psychology, natural/social science has identified a laundry list of obsolete instincts* developed through genetic evolution in response to a hunting-gathering mode of production. Many of these instincts are currently demonstrated as inconsistent with modern civil rights, including inconsistent with “biology with technology” dependent on fossil fuels. Famously, we remain more afraid of snakes and strangers than of cars and electrical sockets, even though cars and electrical sockets kill a vastly higher percentage of people. Homo sapiens are effectively trapped in a “time-warp” determined by obsolete instincts, and those obsolete instincts defend our “Pleistocene obstinacy”, i.e. our cultural survival vehicles determined by tribalism without reason.
Human males demonstrate an affinity for hierarchy, competitiveness, movement, and one-ups-mans-ship, an obsession with sex and promiscuity, and “fix it now fast” psychology. In addition, f-MRI machines reveal that we are emotional and irrational, and that a surprising percentage of people demonstrate sociopathic brain responses. Nature magazine has published results from f-MRI studies that demonstrate the ubiquitous cultural migration into high-density cities is causing increasing schizophrenia (neurotic paranoia).
Science has discovered a male brain pumping with adrenaline and testosterone that promotes social and sexual competitiveness, and that uses dopamine rewards (naturally occurring opiates) to associate cause with positive effect consequence like a monkey getting a banana slice treat. Moreover, what has been considered “positive consequence” has taken every biologically subjective form imaginable while multi-level selection has negotiated church-state exceptionalism without reason, but it has never taken the form of “social unification with the physics-governed ecosystem”.
Our internal reward and learning system is individualistic, and works most effectively through short-term learning experiences that can clearly associate cause with immediate dopamine effect. Consequently, our species individualistic reward and learning system is not specialized to think and act through the long-term “external” goal of “social unification with the physics-governed ecosystem”, and then getting a warm happy dopamine feeling that associates intelligent cause with positive effect consequence.
We are specialized to “pump our brains up” with adrenaline and testosterone and associate social and sexual competitiveness with the positive consequence of thrilling fighting, status climbing, and mating, but we don’t have any chemical to pump our brains up with and associate intelligent cause with positive consequence by performing a long-term goal external to our own internal biological function.
Unfortunately, our minds and bodies evolutionary specialization through dopamine rewards has never needed to understand that performing social unification with the physics-governed ecosystem in point of fact benefits our own internal biological function. For example, indigenous populations frequently promote the profound connection between man and nature, including human harmony with their surroundings; however, indigenous peoples never understood this relationship with the specificity of social unification with the physics-governed ecosystem.
Scientific reductionism, “biology with technology”, and globalization to cause global warming, is a paradigm shift for Homo sapiens, which has no precedent in human history. Meanwhile, our species remains determined by tribalism without reason, where we are caught in a “99 to 1 ratio”, meaning our lowest quality information has been able to affect us the longest, while our newest highest quality information has only been able to affect us briefly.
Meanwhile, our individualistic reward and learning system is adapted to the ignorant terrestrial microcosm environment identified by sociobiology, not the “intelligent” universal macrocosm environment identified by astrobiology to identify how individual unification with the physics-governed ecosystem produces the ability to overcome manmade yet physics-governed global warming. Nevertheless, manmade yet physics-governed global warming identifies that our internal biological function, and our entire species biological function, is now and ultimately determined by intelligent unification with the universal macrocosm environment.
The solution requires a “cognitive decoupling” - alternatively stated, an objectification of our thoughts and actions - between how we evolved through past lesser specialization and what new superior specialization is required to survive. For example, people all over the world ubiquitously respond positively to certain tree aesthetics and architecture that supports the savanna hypothesis. We are still primitive; we remember the safety of trees and the branch-climbing hierarchy of trees, yet most remain unaware of the importance and delicacy of the carbon cycle between carbon dioxide breathers like trees, and oxygen breathers like us. There is a schism existing between performing successful adaptation reliant on our instincts, versus performing successful adaptation reliant on a cognitive-specific relationship with the physics-governed ecosystem, which only science can identify.
We are all scientists now, performing social experiments in relationship to universal protocols. Nature has produced an emerging intelligence – the first of its kind since the Cambrian explosion 550 million years ago. Homo sapiens current biological problem with emerging intelligence is internal conflict between what obsolete damaging instincts are telling us to do the same, and what increasing intelligence through science identifies we need to do differently.
For example, gaining access to a high-rise apartment in the city demonstrating a view consistent with the savanna hypothesis, including all the trappings of fossil fuel reliance (ghost slaves), and ladder-climbing capitalism and exploitation of wage-slaves to achieve it, typically represents a high degree of success. Mark Pagel suggests that natural selection rewards the human accumulation of wealth and extravagance similar to natural selection producing the “peacock’s tail” as a big showy display of physical prowess, where such “unwieldiness” constitutes exceptional fitness rather than an encumbrance. In human society, such current circumstance will produce temporary hierarchical happiness, reproduction, and acculturation.
That soothing view looking out over the city park with your new mate and child determined through current circumstance is however, misleading, because it is far removed from sustainable farming, alternative energy, and a sustainable environment, society, and economy. Consequently, intelligence and instincts are “decoupling”, because we realize that our survival is now dependent on the new high-quality information of science.
Combine these currently compromised psychological attributes with the trappings of tribalism without reason*, and the human condition has an apocalyptic problem. The high percentage of illogical, surprisingly schizophrenic, and alarmingly sociopathic, is oxymoronic for a species dependent on successful eusociality, where the attributes of individual-level selection must successfully integrate with the attributes of group-level selection to achieve victory over the territorial enemy. (I’m not condoning “achieving victory over the territorial enemy”; this example is intended to identify conflict between instincts and “civilization”, including conflict with achieving superior progressive social design.)
One explanation for our f-MRI identified emotional, illogical, and sociopathic responses identifies the battle between the selfishness of individual-level selection attempting to integrate with and/or exploit the magnanimous requirements of group-level selection, and that the schizophrenic cannot process the ubiquitous cultural migration into cities to facilitate “get big or die” infinitely escalating capitalist profit, including the close proximity of inter-tribal diversity determined through globalization.
The genetic expansion and territorial aggression of tribalism will always want to diminish the conflicts between one tribe coexisting in close proximity with other tribes through competition and war, which invalidates growth-model laissez faire capitalism. Consequently, through laissez faire capitalism, we are “burning the candle at both ends” of both individual-level and group-level selection, including making enemies across the entire planet – not because globalization is bad – but because globalization conflicts with brain-dead instinctual tribalism without reason enabled by technology, which is causing premature global warming extinction.

In relationship to multi-level selection, religio-economic stratification is “good” for the church-state, because it enables the church-state to turn money, poverty, and falsehood into violence. Religio-economic stratification isn’t so good for the ubiquitous sacrificial individuals however, as statistics don’t lie and upward mobility has been dead in America since the “flat wages” of the 1970’s. Meanwhile, religious falsehood, repeated recessions, virtual depressions, and war, have remained consistent. This pervasive Neo-conservative, Theo-conservative, and economic libertarian influence has produced America’s current statistical perversity of dysfunctional religious zealotry, disparity in wealth, and concentration of power. The only thing that separated Gilded-age disparity in wealth with current Theo-conservative trickledown Reaganomics disparity in wealth was when the church-state made a secular-socialist response to the Great Depression, and then regulated laissez faire capitalism with FDR’s New Deal. Consistent with all natural disasters, physics-governed physical reality identifies environmental determinism that requires a secular-socialist response.
Nevertheless, the ability of religio-economic stratification through laissez faire capitalism to produce the occasional Nuevo riche works in the church-states favor. Individual disparity in wealth and concentration of power through laissez faire capitalism effectively produces the “new tribe” of a single individual (“incorporated individual”), which can then function in abstraction from the original tribe (church-state). Such individual aberrations would normally be considered a threat to the church-state. These individuals however, benefit from the same laissez faire economic policies of disparity in wealth and concentration of power that also benefit the church-state, where “church-state success” is determined by increasing GNP, and where these capitalist aberrations provide “jobs” and pay “taxes”.
So, instead of becoming enemies, the church-state and the Nuevo riche become “friendemies” - friendemies that squabble over wages and taxation - because the church-state has infrastructure requirements that the Nuevo riche incorporated individual routinely doesn’t consider they share. Nevertheless, the church-state caters to the tyrant of individual-level selection, because if it doesn’t, tyrants will organize against the church-state, which happens when the church-state attempts to regulate laissez faire capitalism.
Clearly, attempting to produce a sustainable society through such an adversarial relationship, including a relationship that is incompatible with the group-level selection of global technological eusociality responding to manmade yet physics-governed global warming, is in point of fact ridiculous. Moreover, the physics-governed indifferent universe is clearly punishing such ridiculousness with premature global warming extinction.
One wonders if gaining access to a plentiful and efficient energy source would always simply enable and magnify Homo sapiens individual-level selection biological determinisms. Current obsession with individual liberty, disparity in wealth, and concentration of power enabled by fossil fuels demonstrates exactly that: enabling the tyrant of individual-level selection to emerge and dominate. The idiosyncrasy of human eusociality and tribalism that causes the attributes of individual-level selection attempting to integrate with and/or exploit the magnanimous attributes of group-level selection ubiquitously produces individuals that want to be insulated and protected individual-level selection “chiefs” and “priests”, rather than sacrificial group-level selection “braves”.
Consequently, our species “specializes” in exploiting every possible deception, spanning social and economic stratification, including abuses of science, to convince the multitude that being 99.7% genetically identical doesn’t count for anything. Possibly therefore, the only sustainable form of eusociality and tribalism (colonies) is made possible by the extended phenotypes of eusocial insects such as ants, which through “mindless objectivity” never enables individual-level selection from dominating their group-level selection. For example, with information-based deception and exploitation determined by gross evolutionary ignorance that becomes immediately invalidated when exposed to the consequential truth of the physics-governed indifferent universe, including punished with negative consequence, i.e. manmade yet physics-governed global warming.
Meanwhile, access to a plentiful and efficient energy source identifies the idiosyncrasy of human eusociality and tribalism to enable the tyrant of individual-level selection to emerge and dominate. The idiosyncratic biological determinism of human eusociality and tribalism may be sustainable in relationship to the “low energy” conditions of hunting-gathering and agrarianism, but clearly not in relationship to the “ultra-high energy” conditions of fossil fuels that negatively impact the entire global ecosystem.
Clearly, Homo sapiens require objective social design to manage fossil fuels in a sustainable manner. Almost comically, all this requires is the science-based systems-based regulation of tyrannical individual-level selection. How long should we allow sexual selection determined by tribalism without reason and a false damaging unscientific unregulated definition of individual liberty that cannot possibly be scientifically correct to burn the world down while mindlessly reproducing obsolete biological determinisms? For the next ten to twenty years, until global warming and biodiversity loss are so deeply seated that no spanner in existence can crack them loose?
Meanwhile, the occasional individual aberration that can function in abstraction from the original tribe is now glorified by the church-state, because such aberrations are few, they increase church-state wealth (GNP), and they promote the glorification of church-state ideology through religion, disparity in wealth, and concentration of power. Meanwhile, laissez faire economics affects all others subject to tribalism without reason, disparity in wealth, and concentration of power, into providing social and economic stratification cannon fodder for church-state exceptionalism that requires turning money, poverty, and falsehood into violence, i.e. the ubiquitous sacrificial individual.
Unfortunately, the ideology of laissez faire capitalism through disparity in wealth and concentration of power is good for the church-state, i.e. attaining power through money (where every nation is now judged in relationship to GNP), because the church-state requires social and economic stratification to turn money, poverty, and falsehood into violence. Individual aberrations that can function in abstraction from the church-state, yet subscribe to church-state economic policy and ideology, contribute to GNP while simultaneously avoiding compromising the disparity in wealth, concentration of power, and religious falsehood that the church-state exploits to turn money, poverty, and falsehood into violence.
Consequently, these individual aberrations that manage to overcome “the system”, and can function in abstraction from the original tribe (where wages and taxation provides an interesting group-level selection commentary on individual-level selection tyranny), must nevertheless be accommodated by the church-state; for example Obama glorifying Steve Jobs disparity in wealth. Clearly, capitalism designs a dysfunctional schism between economic policies that either enables tyrannical individual-level selection or magnanimous group-level selection, and where attempting to enable magnanimous group-level selection by promoting tyrannical individual-level selection produces a perverse product, i.e. social and economic horror, including global warming.
Attempting to conflate tyrannical individual-level selection as conductive or instrumental in the achievement of group-level selection through church-state exceptionalism without reason is comically perverse. This circumstance has produced social and economic horror for the multitude, including manmade yet physics-governed global warming. This conflicted church-state/free market relationship makes the church-state look like a court jester, or monkey performing flips, while jockeying for position attempting to appease and entertain the 500 lb. free market tyrant-ape sitting on the same throne of obsolete biological determinism that the church-state sits on*.
The laissez faire capitalism that produces the disparity in wealth and concentration of power that enables the church-state (“The Wealth of Nations” and “Theo-conservative trickledown Reaganomics”) also enables the occasional production of individual tyrants. Such tyrants must be placated in a socially acceptable manner to allow the church-state to maintain the religio-economic policies of laissez faire capitalism that produce the social and economic stratification that facilitates church-state exceptionalism without reason by turning money, poverty, and falsehood into violence.
The church-state is insane, and out-of-control, and only superficially democratic, because democracy serves church-state laissez faire economics that produces social and economic stratification horror, tyrants, obsolete biological determinisms inconsistent with sustainable global technological eusociality, and causes global warming. This closed loop of “negative circular feedback” or “negative circular logic” is incapable of designing a truthful sustainable solution for either the human condition, or manmade yet physics-governed global warming.
The Negative Memes of Negative Circular Logic
Meanwhile, “national exceptionalism” through “The Wealth of Nations” and “Theo-conservative trickledown Reaganomics” isn’t so good for the tribal/gene-culture determined ubiquitous sacrificial individual. Secular progressives might reasonably get very upset over this primitive biological determinism and illogical church-state circumstance. For example, because such circumstance diminishes us into church-state social and economic stratification cannon fodder, including prevents overcoming manmade yet physics-governed global warming and therefore the ability to reproduce ones genes.
I get mean, and I get smart, and I get vindictive, real quick. I apologize for my biological determinism, but we may be the last warriors standing on the last biological battlefield of manmade yet physics governed global warming determined by tribalism without reason, and church-state exceptionalism without reason. I look to the stars, and wonder at what might have been, and I wonder a lot.
Allow me, if I may, as a secular-progressive that is immensely disillusioned with the world determined by both the indifferent universe and mindless natural selection, to indulge perverse church-state consequence by playing “devil’s advocate”, which by default seems appropriate. Knowledge of the biological determinism of tribalism without reason might lead one to say, “I understand what a diminished sacrificial individual I am while determined by church-state exceptionalism without reason, and no longer wish to participate in this biological determinism”. Does the church-state want such reason becoming a meme in society?
Once the biological determinism of tribalism without reason and church-state exceptionalism without reason is identified, sentient intelligence might reasonably become quite critical and logical in response to church-state consequences for the sacrificial masses. Clearly, “life must find a way” in physics-governed physical reality. Consistent with my personal religio-economic-determined horror, it’s not much fun when obsolete biological determinism, falsehood, and physical damage, is leveraged back against the obsolete church-state social design that produced this situation for everyone. I see such consequence resulting when tribalism without reason and church-state exceptionalism without reason is exposed as First Cause in preventing a sustainable human condition, including overcoming manmade yet physics-governed global warming.
What are we going to do to prevent such gross religio-economic church-state horror consequence, including overcome manmade yet physics-governed global warming? Secular backlash seems inevitable in response to church-state exceptionalism without reason causing manmade yet physics-governed global warming. These biologically-deterministic concepts that we’re dealing with have consequence in physics-governed physical reality, and there’s nothing we can do to escape this determinism; we can only design a truthful sustainable solution.
Secular-progressive revulsion and regurgitation of church-state exceptionalism without reason could presumably produce civil disobedience. Assumedly, these are not the meme’s that a truthful sustainable government wants circulating in society. I ask you, is your government truthful and sustainable? Compliance with physics-governed determinisms in physics-governed physical reality identifies Anti-theist Eco-socialism, i.e. Universalism. Meanwhile, I witness human-soldier-ants recruited out of church-state poverty without options cranking speed metal on headphones invading foreign populations over the acquisition of unsustainable natural resources with politically correct horror.
* * * * *
Meanwhile, class and generational poverty, including repeated recessions, depressions, and wars, and now global warming, identify that the financial policies that enable the church-state through laissez faire capitalism to produce disparity in wealth and concentration of power don’t necessarily enable the individual. In point of fact, laissez faire capitalism enables the church-state by exploiting the individual to provide sacrificial cannon fodder by turning money, poverty, and falsehood into violence, including cause global warming, which is simply an extension of this violence. The church-state has routinely conquered other tribes, and then used those conquered populations to replenish military ranks, including the ranks of domestic slavery, which we now call wage-slavery.
(The Slavery Equation Hypothesis)
Social science through reductionism to physics identifies thermodynamics through the conservation of energy and entropy to produce biological benefit for the enslaver. Because entropy determines a short, finite, and problematic life subject to physical impact and compromise, the enslaver can exploit the conservation of energy by forcing slaves to perform mundane, unpleasant, and dangerous tasks, and then through free-time, repurposed time and light physical duty, develop increasing individual specialization that benefits the enslaver’s multi-level selection.
A philosopher sitting in the science-based philosopher’s studio performing the task I do right now to benefit our species multi-level selection is such an example. It remains curious to this philosopher therefore, how my current existence and ability is so tenuous, and so compromised, and could have already been so easily extinguished with the pull of a single trigger. My own analysis would of course identify the sacrificial individual. Possibly, our predilection to sacrifice individuals is why we have a hard time inventing things, as one wonders how many “Einstein’s” were converted into church-state cannon fodder. I also wonder how many geologically mundane church-state sycophants were elevated to insulated and protected positions of “chiefs” and “priests” through allegiance to conservative interpretations of militarism, religion, politics, and economics.
Clearly, the practice of eusocial ants performing colony warfare against other eusocial/colony ants, and the enslavement of other eusocial/colony ants, must benefit developing the various individual specializations of eusocial/colony ants such as “giant mandibles”, including therefore benefit the multi-level selection of a eusocial/colony ant species “cultural survival vehicle”.
In human society, Mark Pagel has suggested that natural selection influence has caused the specialization of bakers and shoemakers and other professions (a market interpretation), to benefit a “cultural survival vehicle”. Others such as militarists and Neo-conservatives assert that the evolutionary arms race through escalation between “spear and shield” provides benefit for our species. Meanwhile, I demonstrate natural selection influence on Homo sapiens to cause the ubiquitous deterministic roles of tribalism. These roles span militarism, religion, and competitive ideologies and ethics, which all serve our cultural survival vehicles determined by tribalism without reason, and the genetic expansion and territorial aggression of church-state exceptionalism without reason, to cause social and economic horror for the multitude, including global warming. As Derrick Jensen identifies, all writers are propagandists*; some propaganda however, is more objective than others.
Political democracy that accommodates and exploits the diversity of cultures through capitalism, yet produces ubiquitous class and generational poverty, excels at performing the perverse tribally-determined prejudicial function of turning money, poverty, and falsehood into violence. Consequently, statecraft that sells this deception to the multitude through rhetoric and propaganda is a highly coveted skill. The more oratory and professorial, or downhome genuine it seems, the more effective this church-state exceptionalism without reason deception is.
Such enslavement and exploitation may be acceptable in application to ants, but not in my estimation to determine the human condition. Nevertheless, history is replete with examples of church-state exceptionalism conquering and enslaving. Current circumstance identifies church-state exceptionalism without reason through a false damaging unscientific unregulated definition of individual liberty that cannot possibly be scientifically correct to enable disparity in wealth, concentration of power, and wage-slavery, including cause global warming.
The enslavement and exploitation of church-state exceptionalism without reason identifies turning money, poverty, and falsehood into violence that enables the multi-level selection of the enslaver. Without fully understanding evolutionary biology, Peter Kropotkin effectively identifies this biological determinism to produce repeated Caesars, and Chris Hedges identifies produces repeated demagogues promising magic. Blessedly, my development of philosophy avoids producing Caesars and demagogues promising magic, because my strategy doesn’t promote a solution consistent with the biological determinism of tribalism without reason, and church-state exceptionalism without reason. Meanwhile, whether you are foreign or domestic, commitment to church-state exceptionalism without reason perpetuates the ultra-primitive fate of producing repeated Caesars and demagogues promising magic, including turning money, poverty, and falsehood into violence.
The embarrassment of economic libertarianism is that - the laissez faire economic policies that enable the church-state through disparity in wealth and concentration of power, including religion, which enables the state to turn money, poverty, and falsehood into violence - also enables “secular” “objectivist” economic libertarianism. Laissez faire capitalism that produces disparity in wealth and concentration of power - where GNP is asserted to quantify the success of the church-state - is demonstratively determined by tribalism without reason, and church-state exceptionalism without reason.
The further embarrassment of economic libertarianism is that the biological determinism of tribalism without reason manifest through a false damaging unscientific unregulated definition of individual liberty that cannot possibly be scientifically correct – also produces each individual and corporation through the identical constructs of church-state exceptionalism without reason. Economic libertarians and corporations each become mini-church-states unto themselves, demonstrating militarism, religion, and competitive ideologies and ethics that serve church-state “corporatocracy”*.
Exposing such natural selection-determined ignorance, falsehood, and natural sadism through “survival of the fittest” determined by church-state exceptionalism without reason, among other instinctual and cultural liabilities, doesn’t identify economic libertarianism to represent “objectivism”, it identifies economic libertarianism as another natural selection-determined church-state sycophant. Every economic libertarian exploring the ability to objectivity is now forced to overcome this considerable argument, including while remembering that nobody can wish natural selection or “survival of the fittest” on another human being, because it is tantamount to wishing death on them.
Observation of church-state exceptionalism determined by mindless natural selection identifies one anthill-tribe fighting another anthill-tribe through “reprogrammable” ant-humans enabled by information-based existence. Information-based existence enables the accumulation of knowledge and cultural learning that promotes “reprogrammable” ant-humans to fill ascending hierarchical positions, which in human colonies have been vetted by reputation/information analysis to fill the conservative roles of militarism, religion, politics, and economics.
I am now cursed by intelligence of eusociality and tribalism to observe exchanges between individual humans as similar to ants rubbing their antennae together. Ants exchange chemical messages to determine friend or foe through species, colony, and for example “warrior” or “scout” class. Similar to eusocial colonies of ants, eusocial/tribal humans use verbal and nonverbal information to determine friend or foe through racial, tribal, class, and ideological compatibility, reputation, and intention.
One wonders what role pheromones play in the exchange of information to determine friend or foe, where evidence already identifies application to sexual selection*. In addition, every epic-scale military movie now demonstrates amassed colonies of ant-humans fighting and enslaving one another determined by tribalism without reason, and church-state exceptionalism without reason, to be every bit as primitive as ant colony warfare and enslavement. I will say it again in the conclusion: tribalism without reason is man’s anthill.
Fundamental similarities between eusocial species as physiologically disparate as ants and humans, yet demonstrating nearly identical colony (tribal) warfare and enslavement, provides compelling evidence for further reductionism, for example to the physics of thermodynamics, the conservation of energy, and entropy. As previously described, the enslavement of others enables increased specialization that benefits the enslaver’s multi-level selection. Such “deep reductionism” to thermodynamics, the conservation of energy, and entropy, provides a compelling methodology and explanation for how species as physiologically disparate as ants and humans can demonstrate nearly identical colony warfare and enslavement.
Consistent with gene-culture theory, we could theoretically apply this same reductionism to the thermodynamics of the conservation of energy and entropy to social design. The long-slow environment of genetic evolution predictably excels at exploiting equally predictable perennial qualities such as thermodynamics, the conservation of energy, and entropy. For example, experiments in robotic evolution already identify heightened response to environmental conditions determined by the thermodynamics and conservation of energy caused by alternating light and dark*.
Possibly, the asserted “liberty” of disparity in wealth endorsed by economic libertarians - who typically represent extensive individual specialization through scientific reductionism to produce highly trained professionals and scientists – might reflect the biological benefit of enslavement in relationship to class poverty, including while considering that the church-state requires turning money, poverty, and falsehood into violence.
Consistent with natural selection determined through long-slow genetic evolution, rapid individual biological specialization doesn’t necessarily produce immediate benefit for the individual. Politicians that blame the individual’s skill-set success in the “free market” markedly miss this critical condition, including that people have universal physical needs to fill. Nevertheless, politicians predictably default to condemning the individual to self-sacrifice through wage-slavery poverty, while propagandizing coveting the hopes of liberty™ and freedom™ eventually producing second, third, or fourth generation success.
One wonders what constantly vetting others performance to qualify “well-paying jobs” has to do with satisfying peoples universal physical human needs*. Meanwhile, my economic libertarian friendemies positively get giddy over telling me about PhD’s that are now working at McHolyCow for minimum wage. For example, many scientists, professionals, and inventors - such as Einstein working as a patent clerk - have famously functioned throughout history in obscurity and poverty. You’d think Homo sapiens would have gained a greater affinity for our goodwill contributions while subject to church-state exceptionalism without reason that requires turning money, poverty, and falsehood into violence, including while designing a solution to global warming, but I guess not. So forgive me while I hold a branding iron against Homo sapiens ass that imprints “physics-governed physical reality” so deep in the best and brightest of our species memory that we never forget it. (Let’s hope that premature global warming extinction doesn’t make that metaphor vastly more ironic than intended.)
As identified, vast amounts of individual specialization go insufficiently and pathetically rewarded through unlivable low wages, primarily determined by perverse supply-side economics that over-consume resources and over-produce products to effectively maintain unlivable low wages. Nevertheless, conservatives love “The Wealth of Nations” to define religio-economic “objectivity” through supply-side economics, regardless of a finite planet.
The answer for this conundrum may be that the church-state, including economic libertarianism that demonstratively serves church-state biological determinism, only benefits from the generational exploitation of turning money, poverty, and falsehood into violence. Consequently, church-state-determined individual specialization only benefits through the cumulative enslavement of others - where violence is intrinsic in the monetary system - spanning ghost slaves to class poverty. Consistent with this hypothesis, the church-state requires generational allegiance to conservative interpretations of militarism, religion, politics, and economics, to achieve upward mobility*. Clearly this explains the class poverty of the sacrificial masses, including the influence of science and atheism causing increasing affinity to “secular hedonism” to justify, for example, the Family on C Street condemning class poverty on the sacrificial masses that directly conflict with church-state conservatism.
This circumstance is consistent with immigrants only achieving success in America after generations of conservative allegiance, to achieve the individual specialization of third and fourth generation scientists and professionals. Self evidently, the church-state produces conservative products, where individual specialization exploiting scientific reductionism instinctually gravitates to the disparity in wealth and concentration of power that benefits their progenerator: church-state exceptionalism without reason, i.e. our cultural survival vehicles. This may explain why a church-state sycophant like economic libertarian Ron Paul thinks they understand liberty, but doesn’t believe in evolution.
Social science through reductionism to thermodynamics, the conservation of energy, and entropy, identifies where the church-state enslavement of others through a false damaging unscientific unregulated definition of individual liberty, including through the class poverty of laissez faire capitalism, provides a “justified” (where manmade “liberty” and “justice” always exist in a binary relationship) ideological group-level selection death-shroud hovered over the masses of sacrificial individuals suspended by church-state rhetoric and propaganda.
Alternatively stated, the enslavement of the sacrificial masses through the disparity in wealth and concentration of power of laissez faire capitalism enables increased specialization that benefits the few of the enslavers - those that fill conservative interpretations of militarism, religion, politics, and economics of church-state exceptionalism without reason. I.e., the disparity in wealth and concentration of power of laissez faire capitalism enables the multi-level selection of church-state exceptionalism without reason, which is exactly what we would expect to see life and death natural selection producing in response to existence determined by tribalism without reason.
Demonstratively, church-state economics only enable individuals complicit with the church-states agenda, which is why wealthy people are “conservative”, i.e. endorse some conservative interpretation of militarism, religion, politics, and/or economics. Consequently, conservative individuals manage their behavior consistent with church-state exceptionalism to become protected, insulated, exceptionalistic tribal “chiefs” and “priests”, rather than exploited sacrificial tribal “braves”.
It is of course, utterly perverse that tribalism without reason causes the multitude to pray at church, to in effect hope that church-state “subjectivity” (poorly qualified genetic expansion and territorial aggression) doesn’t end-up killing them, which is of course, even more perverse when such tragedy is honored and glorified. As identified, our species will need to objectify our relationship with culture to overcome the biological determinism of tribalism without reason, i.e. the “Universal Physical Culturalism” of universal ethics that satisfy universal physical human needs.
* * * * *
In relationship to globalization, designing the attributes of group-level selection to achieve victory over the territorial enemy, including through competitive ideologies and ethics (i.e. “The Wealth of Nations”, “Theo-conservative trickledown Reaganomics”, “The Family of C Street”, etc…), is still the primary determining factor in human existence. Church-state exceptionalism controls its own sovereign currency famously incorporating trust in a god, which is immensely incriminating of tribalism without reason and all its problems. Consequently, many nations famously remain at direct odds with one another in the process of “free trade” while following the primitive biological determinism of tribalism without reason, and church-state exceptionalism without reason. One could easily envision the need for a single world currency, but this construct would clearly provide no solution if it served the biological determinism of tribalism without reason, and church-state exceptionalism without reason.
Nevertheless, as a thought experiment, let us imagine an “idealized” version of free trade, where populations that move and trade freely around the planet diminishes tribalism, where for example, economic libertarianism identifies that diminishing tribalism is considered a good thing for economics. In addition, determining the process of free trade through laissez faire capitalism produces disparity in wealth and concentration of power. So far, this depiction seems well and good to conservative thinking.
Already however, this analysis identifies a dilemma. Competitive ideologies such as “The Wealth of Nations” promote the disparity in wealth and concentration of power of laissez faire capitalism that enables the tribalism of fixed sovereign states. This church-state methodology directly contradicts producing entire populations wealthy enough to move and trade freely in an unattached cosmopolitan manner around the planet, which diminishes tribalism, and where diminishing tribalism is considered a good thing for economics.
An immediate hypothesis identifies that, a population that moves and trades freely in an unattached cosmopolitan manner around the planet, which diminishes tribalism, also diminishes the need for the competitive economics that tribalism initially used to exploit globalization. Clearly, the biological determinisms of tribalism apply far less to a population that moves and trades freely in an unattached cosmopolitan manner around the planet. Consequently, the competitive economics that initially drove the globalization equation would no longer be required, and global economics could rapidly reacquire Keynesian secular-progressive attributes through globally consistent demand-side economics, regulation, and progressive taxation of multinational corporations, to produce a globally consistent and sustainable secular-progressive middle class. Such consequence also identifies producing a globally consistent regulating entity, where for example, we could repurpose the United Nations to function as the Democracy of Science.
Because America is determined by deism to produce an unscientific unregulated definition of liberty - depending on the administration - “liberty” can be defined through a secular-progressive interpretation to produce FDR’s New Deal and middle class, or through a conservative interpretation to produce Theo-conservative trickledown Reaganomics and the highest disparity of wealth to poverty in history. Clearly then, specialization, innovation, and exchange can occur through economics that don’t emphasize competition and profit, but instead emphasize designing a secular-progressive middle class.
Currently, there is objectivity in identifying the group-level selection of a globally consistent secular-progressive middle class, because such collectivism would stand a fighting chance at coordinating their efforts and overcoming manmade yet physics-governed global warming. Meanwhile, competitive and profit-oriented multinational corporations determined by tribalism without reason are attempting to take the world away from the state. So if the state wants to remain relevant – for example representing the people through democracy and the rule of law, including overcoming global warming – then promoting competitive economics consistent with tribalism without reason isn’t the solution, it’s a big-time problem.
Even an “idealized” version of free trade is currently subject to the underpinnings of tribalism without reason, which causes poor social design to negatively affect economics. Consequently, fork-tongued politicians travel the world praising the cultural diversity of tribalism that they in fact wish to exploit. Much propaganda and rhetoric is crafted to sell the “theoretical” diminishment of tribalism through free trade - and thereby the allurement of sharing in prosperity. Nevertheless, tribalism identifies this statecraft as a deception that promotes a particular sovereign state with prejudice. Such politico-economic tension, statecraft, exploitation, and trickledown benefits, are about as good as tribalism gets through competitive capitalist economics.
Consequently, Homo sapiens are demonstrated to prefer exploiting foreign populations while maintaining tribalism at home through economic policies such as “The Wealth of Nations” and “Theo-conservative trickledown Reaganomics”, which have little to do with benefitting foreign populations. Because the underpinnings of “tribalism without reason” were never addressed and resolved in relationship to subjective social design negatively affecting economics, instances of disparity in wealth and concentration of power become de facto upholders of church-state exceptionalism without reason, which maintains conservative interpretations of militarism, religion, politics, and economics.
A serious conundrum for the tribalism of sovereign states is that free trade has produced multinational corporations that famously function beyond the boundaries of sovereign states. Such circumstance doesn’t provide much benefit for fixed sovereign states, nor exploited workers that become deregulated when absent from a state-ordered rule of law. Predictably, negotiations between the state and corporations default at best to the redundancy of laissez faire capitalism, disparity in wealth, and concentration of power. Consequently, even an “idealized” version of free trade is demonstrated as fundamentally flawed, hypocritical, and exploitive.
Hypothesis
Hypothesis Part A: Eusociality determined through mindless natural selection-determined tribalism without reason is unsustainable in relationship to technological globalization through laissez faire capitalism. Hypothesis Part B: The biological warfare of individualistic laissez faire capitalism is conflicting with our tribal instincts to achieve tribal unification, and in addition, the homogenization of globalization to produce monoculture is conflicting with our tribal instincts determined through logistical subdivision to produce clearly-defined tribes.
The economics of laissez faire capitalism causes our species to:
A) Become deeply conflicted and dysfunctional at a socially divided individual-selection level, in relationship to the group-level selection requirements of tribalism exemplified by social unification.
B) Globalization causes our species to become deeply conflicted and dysfunctional at the group-selection level, where one “tribe” must now coexist in close proximity with other “tribes”*.
Tribalism without reason is unsustainable in relationship to technology magnifying the flaws of an unscientific unregulated definition of individual liberty that cannot possibly be scientifically correct. Tribalism without reason causes militarism and competitive ideologies and ethics through religion, politics, and economics, that when enabled by fossil fuels, identifies a formula for mechanized armies and world war.
Tribalism will always “want” to diminish the conflicts occurring between individual-level selection in relationship to group-level selection requirements, which identifies that:
A. Group-level selection requirements invalidate individual disparity in wealth and concentration of power.
B. Laissez faire capitalism causes misguided purpose as to what function an economic system actually serves, which is a unified truthful people – not religio-economic stratification.
* * * * *
One of the ultimate hypocrisies of natural selection that selects the falsehood of religion to bind a tribe in unity to defeat the territorial enemy has been to produce an unscientific unregulated definition of individual liberty that enables religion and laissez faire capitalism through the same definition - which cannot possibly be scientifically correct. In relationship to the asserted promotion of bottom-up free market solutions, religion represents a gigantic top-down falsely-determined “solution”. The institutional falsehood and damage of religion routinely determines economics for the worse, i.e. “Ron Paul” economic libertarianism, Theo-conservative trickledown Reaganomics, and the Family on C Street. Consequently, America’s definition of individual liberty is vastly flawed, hypocritical, and damaging, i.e. problematic enough to have produced manmade yet physics-governed global warming.
Homo sapiens are still mindlessly following the biological path of genetic expansion and territorial aggression enabled by every false construct imaginable. The falsehood and damage of religion, growth-model laissez faire capitalism on a finite planet poked by the sharp stick of economic libertarianism, and conventional political democracy, each require the suspension of disbelief by endless church-state rhetoric and propaganda. For example, the feel-good philosophical generalization of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”, which evolutionary biology identifies represents the genetic expansion and territorial aggression of church-state exceptionalism without reason.
We are deeply conflicted about our species origins and the dynamics of eusociality and tribalism, which must now accommodate unification with the scientific and physics-governed democracy of knowledge to determine the rule of law, progressive civil liberties, and globalization. In addition, we are deeply conflicted about integrating a traditionally bottom-up biological process with the top-down limiting factor of immutable governing physics, for example to overcome manmade yet physics-governed global warming.
Consequently, a technological species achieving group-level selection through sustainable unification with top-down governing physics - for example to overcome manmade yet physics-governed global warming, including tribalism without reason and church-state exceptionalism without reason - may seem more counterintuitive than “daring to be a rational optimist”. Nevertheless, the situation of manmade yet physics-governed global warming identifies that “biology with technology” must now - and quickly - adjust its function in sustainable unification with the top-down limiting factor of immutable governing physics, which currently identifies achieving group-level (species-level) selection through Anti-tribal Anti-theist Anti-capitalist Eco-socialism, i.e. Universalism.
One reason SETI gets no blips on its “alien-dar” may be because each technological species faced two counterintuitive choices. In Homo sapiens case, continued reliance on tribalism without reason has caused the tribal accommodation of the illogic of religion, including the genetic expansion and territorial aggression of church-state exceptionalism without reason. This biological determinism has resulted in producing a false damaging unscientific unregulated definition of individual liberty as “an inalienable human right”, to nonetheless negatively affect multi-level selection. The other counterintuitive choice is achieving unprecedented group-level selection by producing a unified physical system (social system), thinking and acting in predictive sustainable unification with the top-down limiting factor of immutable governing physics.
Life has evolved through diversity, and this diversity has finally produced sentient intelligence that has identified the top-down limiting factor of immutable governing physics. This deterministic relationship identifies that sentient intelligence - specifically “biology with technology” - must now achieve science-based system-based unification with the top-down limiting factor of immutable governing physics as a new type of sustainable diversity in the animal kingdom, for example to overcome manmade yet physics-governed global warming. Social science through reductionism to physics identifies that only artificial selection and logic can now provide desirable solutions to the human condition, as natural selection will otherwiswe simply and mindlessly diminish us back into the Stone Age - or worse – begin working its mindless magic on a new single-celled organism.
The Dilemma of Social Science through Reductionism to Physics
Michio Kaku is a prolific physicist and futurist that is comfortable making long-range predictions, because his social science through reductionism to physics identifies achieving type 1, 2, and 3 civilizations, which are determined by scales of energy utilization. Kaku’s assumption is that physics qualities are intrinsic, timeless, immutable, and exploitable, which they are; however, mans subjective social design may not be able to take advantage of such exploitability. Our conception of economics may not understand the law of supply and demand determined between governing physics and objective social design thinking and acting in sustainable unification with governing physics, for example to overcome manmade yet physics-governed global warming. Nevertheless, our instinctual response is to continue as we are, and develop a techno-fix that maintains things as they are. Meanwhile, the liabilities of human nature determined by tribalism without reason remain at First Cause fault, which can only be solved by artificial selection and logic through progressive environmental political philosophy.
Kaku’s concession that “high-tech yields to high-touch” (i.e. the “Caveman principle”), in point of fact identifies that we historically need to connect physically to reproduce, trade, and promote our own tribe. Natural section-determined biological/physical reality is funny like that. Nevertheless, this concession fails to dissect the consequential dilemma existing in America’s false damaging unscientific unregulated definition of individual liberty that enables the falsehood of religion and laissez faire capitalism through the same definition, which cannot possibly be scientifically correct. Consequently, religio-economics determined by church-state exceptionalism without reason cannot possibly be scientifically correct. Clearly, “biology with technology” that can affect the entire planetary ecosystem determined by religio-economics has never existed before, and we therefore have no consensual model for moving forward in biological unification with the physics-governed universe, for example to overcome manmade yet physics-governed global warming.
In addition, a false damaging unscientific unregulated definition of individual liberty causes growth-model laissez faire capitalism to struggle mightily in relationship to the dynamics of tribalism and finite resources. Even if resources were considered infinite through a type 2 or 3 civilization, a species still requires adjusting their impact on the environment sufficient to maintain the delicately balanced nonlinear feedback loops of the planetary ecosystem. No amount of mining asteroids for additional resources is going to change the deterministic relationship between “biology with technology” adjusting our species thoughts and actions in sustainable unification with the delicately balanced nonlinear feedback loops of the planetary ecosystem. Clearly, the fantasy of growth-model capitalism expires on the global warming shores of the delicately balanced nonlinear feedback loops of the planetary ecosystem on every habitable planet in the universe. The meek would inherit the world, if the world weren’t destroyed by Neo-conservatives, Theo-conservatives, and economic libertarians serving church-state exceptionalism without reason that requires turning money, poverty, and falsehood into violence.
Science and technology cannot help Homo sapiens when positivism simply enables tribalism without reason, and church-state exceptionalism without reason. The father of positivism – Auguste Compte – immediately identified that “Man is not allowed to think freely about chemistry and biology, so why should he be allowed to think freely about political philosophy”. Carry the reductionism of social science one step further to physics, and man is immediately confronted with the environmental determinism of manmade yet physics-governed global warming. Mining asteroids for additional resources isn’t going to change the environmental determinism of governing physics, which determines the fate of “biology with technology” negatively impacting the delicately balanced nonlinear feedback loops of the ecosystem.
Nevertheless, some like Bill Gates feel that an appropriate use of positivism through reductionism to physics applied to human affairs is the ability to impose top-down control of the weather. Meanwhile, such scientific “positivism” currently functions subject to the disparity in wealth, concentration of power, and religious falsehood that enables church-state exceptionalism without reason to turn money, poverty, and falsehood into violence. Consequently, the real requirement of achieving sustainable group-level selection through unification with governing physics is betrayed by an economic libertarian tyrant that identifies the purpose of an economic system to serve profit before people consistent with church-state exceptionalism without reason.
E. O. Wilson identifies that axiomatically, biology must always obey the laws of physics. Consequently, there is vast “universalistic” potential to perform social science through reductionism to physics - capable of producing a Theory of Everything for Social Science - if we can accurately identify how to apply governing physics to achieve sustainable human social design. This is, I concede, an anthropocentric goal. And we can – but such an application of governing physics to human social design doesn’t necessarily identify achieving type 1, 2, and 3 civilizations determined by scales of energy utilization – or merely that chemistry and physics make and govern the building blocks of biology. Such an application of governing physics to human social design identifies Homo sapiens producing their biological function in sustainable unification with governing physics to design predictive positive cause and effect consequence, for example to overcome manmade yet physics-governed global warming.
Subsequently, such sustainable biological unification with the physics-governed universe may be capable of achieving type 1, 2, and 3 civilizations, which through their sustainable specialization and innovation would literally have no reason to exchange aggressively towards our species. In addition, sustainable biological unification with the physics-governed universe would produce no internal reason for Homo sapiens to exchange aggressively towards our own species.
Connectedly, reductionism to physics equally identifies Homo sapiens “dividing” their biological function in unsustainable division with governing physics to design predictive negative cause and effect consequence. The axiomatic example of course, is manmade yet physics-governed global warming, which determinism is producing the human condition through negative consequence. I identify this social science through reductionism to physics as the “I. D. P. (Ignorance, Division, and Punishment) Causality Model”.
In that pursuit (hypothesis) of the vast universalistic potential to perform social science through reductionism to physics, reductionism to classical cause and effect physics provides a quantifiable methodology sufficient to nominate the proposed new hybrid natural-social science of physiosociobiology, (which some may prefer to constitute an application of astrosociobiology). Social science through reductionism to physics is appropriately applied to human social design by identifying deterministic qualities that have never been invalidated - i.e. the initial conditions of physics through the weak nuclear, strong nuclear, electromagnetic, and gravitational forces - which have designed cause and effect in mass and motion for 13.7 billion years.
The influence of governing physics identifies the profound and consequential difference existing between the Big Bang-made natural physics-governed cause and effect hierarchy, and a manmade supernatural god-governed afterlife hierarchy. This difference is profound because it is consequential, where interacting with the physics-governed indifferent universe designs physical consequence that affects everybody equally. Making this simplistic yet consequential point reminds me of Copernicus simply identifying the heliocentric model of the solar system. The result of these two mutually exclusive and incompatible world views is perennial “Just War”, until science-identified social and environmental sustainability is achieved.
The consequence of interacting with the physics-governed indifferent universe identifies the thesis of “Mechanical-Social Integration”, which identifies that Homo sapiens either produce their biological function in sustainable unification with governing physics to design predictive positive cause and effect consequence, or in division with governing physics to design predictive negative cause and effect consequence. I propose this circumstance and address through the thesis of Mechanical-Social Integration to constitute a Theory of Everything for social science (including the proposed new hybrid natural-social science of physiosociobiology), where a sustainable human condition is successfully reverse engineered from this consequential circumstance (i.e. the Digitalization Model).
Obviously, this progressive top-down cognitive solution based on new high-quality information operates in vast conflict with a traditional conservative bottom-up process determined through past lesser ability. What did you expect - the truth can only be a single thing – and through science the truth will eventually come out, regardless of how compatible or convenient it is for problematic evolutionary biology. We are left with one conclusion: The human condition is either determined through “a useful bit of hypocrisy” through instinctual tribalism without reason to produce church-state exceptionalism without reason defended by a poorly determined Constitution, democracy, and economics to produce uncertain unscientific results, or through the singular science-identified physics-governed truth to produce predictive social and environmental sustainability.
Physics-governed cause and effect deconstructs and invalidates the latest and hopefully last popular culture information-based shield of religion, which is to assert that the role of science is well-suited to explaining the “how” of existence, while the role of religion is well-suited to explaining the “why” of existence. Obviously, the role of religion has been to bind a tribe in unity to defeat the territorial enemy, including appease individuals during the biological battlefield of individual-level selection attempting to integrate with and/or exploit the requirements of group-level selection, including provide utilitarian functions of explaining natural phenomenon and coordinating agrarianism. (It’s no wonder that America founded during agrarianism adopted Judeo-Christian ethics that developed in response to agrarianism.) If religion acknowledged this, and converted to secular counseling consistent with evolution, I would have respect for them. Meanwhile, there’s virtually nothing more disgusting than remaining in the proverbial Dark Ages mongering false paradise and threats of eternal torture to design social control, including affect militarism, religion, politics, economics, and our species sustainability in the physics-governed indifferent universe.
Once however, the argument is determined through the medium of information instead of tribal instinct, religion looses. Moreover, in the age of science, technology, and information, there is no way for religion to “re-win” the argument. The assertion of religion has been proven more than “free speech false”; it has been proven physically wrong. Physics-governed cause and effect identifies that what we think matters, because we act on what we think (memes and cultural evolution), and this biological function operates in an environment of physics-governed consequence first – before whatever else we may wish to believe second.
Rational prudence dictates that we therefore think and act in a prioritized relationship with governing physics first, before however else we may wish to think and act second. Metaphysically speaking, planet Earth and the universe could not afford Homo sapiens achieving immortality in absence of attaining this understanding. Thinking and acting in a prioritized relationship with governing physics identifies designing our institutions through matching natural explanations for a naturally occurring physics-governed environment, which invalidates religion, and through matching prioritized relationships in sustainable unification with governing physics, which invalidates growth-model laissez faire capitalism on a finite planet. Logic and evidence identifies that religion (specifically faith-based reasoning) is illogical, easily exploitable, and causes physical damage*, which in point of fact identifies social science through reductionism to physics. If the social science of atheism did not demonstrate physical consequence, for example physical damage - it wouldn’t constitute social science through reductionism to physics - however, it can and does.
Reductionism to physics identifies how to avoid negative cause and effect consequence, and instead design positive cause and effect consequence from the indifferent universe. Simple as it sounds (i.e. parsimonious), this knowledge and ability currently represents “biology with technology” attempting to overcome manmade yet physics-governed global warming extremely well.
Reductionism to physics provides a quantifiable methodology applied to human social design that identifies environmentally determined atheism, and anti-theism, including an entire suite of new institutions that design sustainability. Social science through reductionism to physics identifies our anthropocentrism corresponding through the institutions of food, water, shelter, sex, education, and art. Everything Homo sapiens do can be accommodated through these newly repurposed institutions, where art encompasses all professions and industries. Each of these institutions is enabled through Mechanical-Social Integration to determine issues of unification or division to design positive consequence, so the diversity that these institutions are capable of producing remains intuitive, manageable, and sustainable.
The requirements of the physics-governed indifferent universe identify reverse engineering a sustainable Spaceship Earth through natural explanations and prioritized relationships that design the suite of newly intentioned (repurposed) institutions listed above. To overcome manmade yet physics-governed global warming, our very definition of individual liberty must be retooled and made objectively consistent with an objective environment of physics-governed cause and effect consequence.
The accommodation of global technological eusociality identifies initially producing two economies. The first economy achieves group-level sustainability through reverse engineering a sustainable Spaceship Earth. In a prioritized relationship, the second economy appeals to individual-level selection, this time however, working in sustainable unification with the requirements of group-level selection. If assigning “all professions and industries” to the single institution of art initially seems undoable - then split the institution of art between the two economies. Never however, allow such reductionism to compromise the prioritized requirements of achieving group-level selection in unification with governing physics first.
Because of “biology with technology”, globalization, and global warming, the old notion of designing the group-level selection of one nation (“The Wealth of Nations”, i.e. a tribe) pitted against all other nations, propagated (sexual selection) through the exploitation of individual-level selection (i.e. “capitalism”), is microcosmically primitive, shall we say “naturally sadistic”, unwise, and unproductive. Such conception of religio-economics has nothing to do with designing sustainable eusocial technological globalization. Primitive capitalism produces dysfunctional conflict between individual-level selection and group-level selection resulting in:
· Deception
· Information/reputation-based analysis being vetted by all the wrong primer conceivable
· Mental illness
· Gaming the system
· Crime
· Culture war
· Civil war
· Needless damaging competition, production, and consumption
· Global war
· Global warming
America calls this “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”. Such philosophical generalizations however, reflect genetic expansion and territorial aggression through church-state exceptionalism without reason, which has produced false damaging unscientific unregulated individual liberty that cannot possibly be scientifically correct, prolific poverty, death, and global warming.
The willow-the-wisp of mindless natural selection causes our species to remain far from “out of the woods” in relationship to these biological determinisms, and no political philosophy under current practice is capable of remedying the situation. Ultimately however, the accommodation of technological eusociality that achieves group-level sustainability through reverse engineering a sustainable Spaceship Earth may eventually find little reason to accommodate an additional optional economy that appeals to individual-level selection. Instead, individual-level selection will simply function autonomously as it should through sexual selection that has first achieved group-level sustainability through reverse engineering a sustainable Spaceship Earth.
The Laws of Physics Are Now the Laws of Manmade Reality
Currently however, achieving a consensus about what we don’t want is difficult, in a tribal world determined by gross evolutionary ignorance so profound as to produce the falsehood of religion as a viable vehicle to bind a tribe in unity and achieve victory over the territorial enemy, which historically has been a stones-throw away (typically one or two days walking distance). Even though simple low-tech logistics determined such tribalism, the evolutionary dynamic of tribalism has never changed, and has simply escalated from tribes to chiefdoms to states. Consequently, Homo sapiens petty history is exemplified by the down-south’s Hatfield’s vs. McCoy’s, European Monarchies infighting, or more grandiosely yet equally mundane, the escalation between spear and shield to enable tribalism without reason, which now includes the primitive conception of laissez faire capitalist economics to constitute biological warfare.
Some believe this primitive, natural selection-determined, church-state exceptionalism without reason evolutionary arms race predicament and escalation is unalterably natural, inevitable, and exciting, even desirable – I don’t. I’m sure many elites enjoy it, but the cannon fodder people suffering class and generational poverty don’t; I can assure you that my poverty-stricken condition does not. Just as it’s exquisitely perverse that the working class routinely votes against its own economic interests by voting republican*, it’s also exquisitely perverse when the schism between individual-level selection and group-level selection that the state manipulates by turning money, poverty, and falsehood into violence is maintained by an equally exquisitely perverse conception of “liberty”, “freedom”, and “democracy”.
Just like natural selection programmed us to like sex, it also programmed us to like violence. E. O. Wilson identifies – if it results in a satisfying destruction of the enemy – we are capable of atrocities that are inconsistent with the rule of law*. It’s exquisitely perverse then, when the disparity of wealth and concentration of power of white male Jesus freaks enabled by religio-economic laissez faire capitalism designs the poverty of the cannon fodder masses, and then recruits those men out of poverty, and through the falsehood of religion, causes them to fight wars, and, because we are programmed to like violence, these men crank speed metal on headphones while invading foreign populations. A schism exists between individual-level selection and group-level selection that the church-state manipulates through money, poverty, and falsehood to perpetuate church-state exceptionalism without reason. Hypocritical imperialist empires phoning in their subscription to democracy prove this on a daily basis, no less so than through the cold tribal warfare of laissez faire “free market” capitalism.
Meanwhile, natural selection rewards the accumulation of wealth like it rewards the peacock’s tail. In Homo sapiens case, with a big showy display of brain-dead tribalism without reason leading to premature global warming extinction, where peacock tails, human culture, and McMansions provide an absolutely beautiful gigantic cosmic practical joke on extremely problematic biological existence.
Given our primitive natural selection-determined genetic, territorial, and church-state exceptionalistic evolutionary heritage and pre-dispositions, achieving a property-owning democracy seems vastly unrealistic without superior new biological regulation in sustainable unification with governing physics. The state ubiquitously sacrifices individuals, state economic policies of disparity in wealth and concentration of power don’t statistically benefit constituent individuals, and 30 years of Theo-conservative trickledown Reaganomics have devastated the middle class, public education, and the nuclear family. The church-state isn’t in the business of enabling a property-owning democracy; the church-state is in the business of turning money, poverty, and falsehood into violence that enables the genetic expansion and territorial aggression of church-state exceptionalism without reason.
Currently, our property-owning democracy is determined through a false damaging unscientific unregulated definition of individual liberty that cannot possibly be scientifically correct. This circumstance produces neighbors that don’t communicate with each other and literally hate each other (however unreasonably) - because each belong to a different tribe - spanning myriad social, religious, and economic ideologies. The unfortunate circumstance of poorly determined political democracy causes individual-level selection to be determined by laissez faire capitalism poked by the sharp stick of economic libertarianism. Such unfortunate circumstance clearly affects the “financialization” of the economy by the tribalism of economic libertarian extremely Jewish Wall Street. Unfortunately, such false damaging diversity can never produce tribal unity, or global unity that can overcome manmade yet physics-governed global warming.
Virtually all of the qualities of traditional political democracy, progressive civil liberties, and globalization, run counter to our evolutionary predispositions determined through tribalism responding to a hunting-gathering mode of production. In addition, they run counter to a truthful scientific definition of liberty in sustainable unification with governing physics. As identified, modern civil rights could be considered to manage and make improvements to our obsolete instincts, but enabling civil rights through a false damaging unscientific unregulated definition of individual liberty that cannot possibly be scientifically correct is not the epitome of social design.
Modern civil rights are only a stepping stone to a truthful scientific definition of liberty in sustainable unification with governing physics, for example to overcome manmade yet physics-governed global warming. The institutions of traditional political democracy attempt to manage instinctual tribalism without reason but fail magnificently because they are determined through a false damaging unscientific unregulated definition of individual liberty that cannot possibly be scientifically correct. Some still extol such primitive social design as “liberty by law”; nevertheless, such poorly qualified liberty produces bad law. Our false damaging conception of law serves church-state exceptionalism without reason in division with the singular truth of consequential governing physics, which produces social, economic, and environmental dysfunction.
The success of Homo sapiens social design is always deeply integrated with the truth of singular governing physics. Early analysis of religion identified integration between primitive cosmological awareness and low-tech agrarianism to benefit successful harvests, including produce our infamous affinity for a patriarchal sky god. Increasing knowledge of cosmology now identifies further benefit, this time to achieve successful technological existence, for example to overcome manmade yet physics-governed global warming. In addition, as identified, Homo sapiens demonstrate a history of evolutionary success through artificial selection and logic to design both biologically specific and physics-governed cause and effect in our species favor, spanning Organic Fire and The Wheel to Spaceflight and Artificial Intelligence.
Our mechanical-social physics-governed relationship with the indifferent universe has always been fundamentally physically consequential, but our ability to understand it has now passed from patriarchal sky gods to the four initial conditions of physics. Homo sapiens relationship with governing physics now demonstrates the profound consequential need for objective cause and effect moderation of our social design through the Democracy of Science. Otherwise, we end-up worshipping sky gods and a supernatural god-governed afterlife hierarchy to produce our sustenance-farming agrarian harvest, instead of worshipping the natural physics-governed cause and effect hierarchy to produce our rightful technologically sustainable harvest.
Tribalism without reason influences conservative interpretations of militarism, religion, politics, and economics, which causes vast, possibly insurmountable problems for “biology with technology” attempting to perform sustainable unification with the natural physics-governed hierarchy. Because of our species problematic biological determinisms that cause Homo sapiens ability through “biology with technology” to negatively affect the global ecosystem, Homo sapiens now benefits from an external Standard Candle that “speaks the same language” as our technology does, which is the single language of governing physics.
The universal Standard Candle of governing physics provides guidance for “biology with technology”, by identifying that the natural environment only “speaks and understands” the single language of governing physics. Consequently, Homo sapiens social design also needs to “speak and understand” the single language of physics - otherwise we attempt the impossible - which is to exist in abstraction from the very environment that produced us, and governs us with physical consequence.
One might safely say that “the laws of physics are now the laws of manmade reality”. The laws of physics identify a naturally occurring physics-governed environment, which identifies defining our institutions through matching natural explanations for a naturally occurring physics-governed environment, which invalidates religion. In addition, the laws of physics identify defining our institutions through matching prioritized relationships in sustainable unification with governing physics, which invalidates growth-model laissez faire capitalism on a finite planet.
Homo sapiens tried poorly determined traditional political democracy including rule of law two thousand years ago in Athens. This effort predictively didn’t work; it produced the blow-back evolutionary response of individual-level selection by selecting tyrants to determine group-level selection leadership through conservative interpretations of militarism, religion, politics, and economics. Now, we are trying poorly determined political democracy once again to accommodate a logistically large nation, and predictively it still isn’t working. Not surprisingly, nothing has changed about mindless natural selection-determined tribalism without reason - including those that want to be insulated and protected individual-level selection “chiefs” and “priests” - instead of group-level selection sacrificial “braves”.
One might consider the psychology involved in this dynamic. For example, those that want to be insulated and protected individual-level selection “chiefs” and “priests” instead of group-level selection sacrificial “braves” determined by tribalism without reason, and church-state exceptionalism without reason, which readily sacrifices individuals to achieve group-level selection. For example, this circumstance could easily produce sociopathic/megalomaniac “chiefs” and “priests” determined by fanatical allegiance to conservative institutions. In addition, it could produce thrill-seeking death-wish “braves” subject to drugs and alcohol determined by class poverty.
Such biological determinism identifies sickening purpose to social and economic stratification that produces a “warrior class”, where the church-state requires turning money, poverty, and falsehood into violence. It also explains how exploitation can continue to be justified by the sociopathic/megalomaniac, i.e. “Conservatives without Conscience”. To such conservative thinking (i.e. “The Family on C Street”), sacrificing poverty-stricken secular hedonists is easy and satisfying. Such conservatives kill two birds with one stone, they eliminate those that are “evil” and interfere with America building a covenant with god while ensuring their own way of life. This is what natural selection produces.
At the time, designing the logistically large nation of America through the accommodation of cultural diversity was a good idea. Unfortunately, it wasn’t good enough given the ability of “biology with technology” determined through mindless natural selection to produce tribalism without reason, and the genetic expansion and territorial aggression of church-state exceptionalism without reason, to negatively affect society, economics, and the entire global ecosystem.
New high-quality information identifies that religion is illogical, easily exploitable, and causes physical damage. New high-quality information also identifies that growth-model laissez faire capitalism enabled through the same false damaging unscientific unregulated definition of individual liberty that cannot possibly be scientifically correct, is also illogical, easily exploitable, and causes physical damage. Consequently, the accommodation of certain cultural diversity such as religion, and growth-model laissez faire capitalism on a finite planet, was a really bad idea. A bad enough idea to be responsible for designing church-state implosion, spanning Blue Washington State to the Red United States of America, which may well cause the world’s most “progressive” church-state super-colony empire to fail in less than 300 years. Clearly, physics-governed physical reality requires vastly superior ability to objectivity than past social design has demonstrated to produce social, economic, and environmental sustainability.
The summary of the great American experiment is that accommodating tribalism without reason, including ubiquitous religion and church-state exceptionalism without reason, influenced an unscientific unregulated definition of individual liberty that also promoted unscientific unregulated growth-model laissez faire capitalism on a finite planet. High-quality information now identifies our conception of individual liberty as inconsistent with the truth of governing physics, spanning religion to limiting/finite resources. Nothing exposes the folly of our poorly determined individual liberty better than our inability to maintain the delicately balanced nonlinear feedback loops of the ecosystem, including overcome manmade yet physics-governed global warming. We see clearly now, why accommodating church-state systems, especially where attaining super colony empire status requires maintaining an expanding social and environmental division with physics-governed physical reality, have always failed.
For example, why a “progressive technological church-state empire” that thinks Jefferson’s secular remarks to Baptists* about the design of America constituting a “fair experiment” are correct - yet reductionism to evolutionary biology and physics demonstrates that Jefferson’s argument is in point of fact incorrect. Social science through reductionism to evolutionary biology and physics identifies how such a “fair experiment” was in point of fact false, damaging, unscientific, and unregulated, and instrumental in causing global warming, which identifies how such a falsely determined empire can clearly fail, and end.
After vetting the subjectively determined situation for over two centuries, citizen outrage finally identifies a truthful sustainable solution with social science through reductionism to physics. The Founding Fathers design of America did enable the intellectual innovation of the proposed new system (which could have occurred anywhere on the planet where people have access to books and a pen or word processor). Nonetheless, I doubt the Founding Fathers - who relied heavily on deism in their equations - anticipated their initial design to become invalidated in the process!* Sometimes however, innovation is funny like thatJ.
Meanwhile, little about our species instincts has changed in a mere two thousand years, since our first foray into poorly determined political democracy. Little has changed about human ability to revert under pressure, such as the subjective falsehood that modern civilization designs, towards individual-level selection by selecting the tyrant of fundamentalist unscientific unregulated individual liberty.
Nevertheless, given our advertized aversion to tyranny, it seems oxymoronic that science-based individuals don’t seem to mind the tyrant of fundamentalist unscientific unregulated individual liberty that enables the falsehood of religion and growth-model laissez faire capitalism on a finite planet through the same definition, which cannot possibly be scientifically correct. We don’t seem to mind that such tyranny has produced centrist status quo democrats, CEO robber barons, outsourcing Wall Street, economic libertarians, and the Family on C Street through the same definition of liberty, which each endorses illogical, easily exploitable, and physically damaging religion, including unsustainable growth-model laissez faire capitalism on a finite planet. Meanwhile, our obsolete biological determinism does seem to mind the scientifically regulated political philosophy of universalism identified through reductionism to physics, which is condemned as “tyrannical”. Meanwhile, the church-state requires turning money, poverty, and falsehood into violence and global warming steadily encroaches. I don’t get it.
I don’t fault the artificial selection underpinnings of America’s well-intentioned effort to produce some sort of cognitive solution to the human condition. It isn’t difficult however, to fault the operating principles of social design determined through past lesser ability. A state-of-the-art effort must now integrate new high-quality information that fundamentally changes the operating principles of the old system in order to design a more perfect union. A state-of-the-art effort now identifies engineering the sustainability of a eusocial/tribal species - specifically “biology with technology” - in unification with the physics-governed indifferent universe, for example to overcome manmade yet physics-governed global warming. The problem is, the attributes of individual-level selection are insufficient to design group-level sustainability, and the attributes of group-level selection were determined through gross falsehood incompatible with the singular truth of physics-governed physical reality, which exists in addition to and independent of the realities of eusociality and tribalism.
The physics-governed “perfect storm” social design situation at hand is however, liberating for the proprietor of even further countering of our obsolete evolutionary predispositions that determined past lesser ability with social design. The progressive political philosophy of Universalism and thesis of Mechanical-Social Integration identifies producing a Democracy of Science, where social design is determined between issues of unification with governing physics to produce predictive positive consequence, and division with governing physics to produce predictive negative consequence (i.e. the Digitalization Model).
Such seeming simplicity is not to be taken lightly however, because it represents all the difference in the world between the natural physics-governed cause and effect hierarchy, and a supernatural god-governed afterlife hierarchy, including therefore our species ability to sustainability in the indifferent universe. The democracy of knowledge identifies that the definition of liberty is the ability to identify and choose the truth*. Evolutionarily-determined sentient intelligent biology does have however, the considerable challenge of qualifying evidence produced through past lesser ability (i.e. tainted evidence planted by mindless natural selection determinism, tribal instinct, and ignorance at the evolutionary crime scene), including identifying where and how we can and wish to move forward, to affect the ability to identify and choose the truth.
Our Grandeur
Homo sapiens are biologically determined to be vastly ignorant, violent, sexual, paranoid, and conservative, where such conservativeness facilitates customs that enable tribal unity. These adaptations demonstrate tribalism through genetic expansion, territorial dominance, and church-state exceptionalism, including affecting imperialism and empire. Progressive institutions seeking improvement to this biological determinism face unilateral opposition by conservative forces.
The history of biology is the history of mindless expansionary genetic and territorial growth that consumes resources until they are exhausted, and then the species diminishes, frequently to the point of extinction. Sentient Homo sapiens, unfortunately, are pathetically following this mindless natural selection-determined biological blueprint, and have set themselves on the road to premature extinction in exemption from the five million years afforded a typical mammalian species. We of course, are not a typical species, so the premature extinction of “biology with technology” determined by brain-dead instinctual tribalism without reason, and church-state exceptionalism without reason dependent on highly destructive fossil fuels, is equally or more possible than in comparison with established precedent*. There are many reasons that explain why SETI isn’t getting any blips on its “alien-dar”. It’s not unreasonable to speculate that the accumulation of organic matter on habitable planets produces a common fuel source, including the ability to produce unsustainable amounts of carbon dioxide when it is combusted.
Evolutionary biology identifies that genetically determined human nature is incapable of changing quickly enough to achieve sustainable eusocial technological globalization without performing a logical top-down cultural evolution solution. Nevertheless, those that cling to genetically determined human nature continue to assert that market forces through specialization, innovation, and exchange that serve tribalism without reason, and church-state exceptionalism without reason, can solve all our species problems through capitalism with a “techno-fix”*.
I however, wouldn’t count on that actually happening, and here’s why. The ability of natural selection to promote “successful” tribalism through false damaging institutions hasn’t magically gone away, and our species predisposition to cling to such natural selection-determined adaptations hasn’t diminished, i.e. we remain “natural selection-determined tribalistically brain-dead”. Consequently, the faults and liabilities of tribalism without reason severely affect the practice of capitalism, where the church-state uses capitalism like a weapon on the biological battlefield of competing tribes to promote itself through wealth to achieve power. Wealth, after all, is useless to enable church-state power unless there are lots of poor people standing by to do the states bidding for money, including religious reward, which identifies social and economic stratification to be highly integrated in the actualization of turning money, poverty, and falsehood into church-state violence. God is printed on our money, because you may very well go to meet your god after the church-state recruits you out of poverty and falsehood to serve in the military. Tribalism without reason effectively diminishes capitalism into a primitive institution that cannot perform solutions, as any techno-fix will be diminished into serving the genetic expansion and territorial aggression of church-state exceptionalism without reason.
Capitalism isn’t designed to “solve problems”. In point of fact, capitalism likes to exploit problems for profit, for example the “creative destruction” of Neo-conservatism, and the strip-malls of bottom-feeding business models. Capitalism is designed to enable tribalism without reason through “The Wealth of Nations” and “Theo-conservative trickledown Reaganomics”, which sacrifices individuals on the biological battlefield to achieve the group-level selection of church-state exceptionalism without reason. The church-state already enables social and economic stratification to ensure a sacrificial and exploitable “warrior class”, including enables damaging religious falsehood that designs a schism between the natural physics-governed hierarchy and a supernatural god-governed afterlife hierarchy, including sanctions exploiting its citizens with the industrial-high-fructose-corn-syrup-food-chain for profit, so why should we think that the church-state is interested in using capitalism to solve the problem of global warming?
It is clear that the church-state is determined by tribalism without reason, which has its own agenda, and that agenda has been and will always be promoting genetic expansion and territorial aggression through money, poverty, and falsehood to achieve power through violence. Where does using capitalism to solve the problem of global warming fit into that agenda? The lack of state participation in global and regional environmental summits supports this assessment. The inability of both the church-state and free market “techno-solutions” to acknowledge the alternative of “socio-solutions” such as atheism and ecosocialism identify also supports this assessment.
In addition, Mark Pagel identifies that our species really isn’t very good at inventing things. Altogether, there is a big problem with determining our species “survival strategy” through tribalism without reason, and church-state exceptionalism without reason, which ubiquitously defaults to a religio-economic compromised techno-fix. Also, nearly everyone that studies energy solutions is warning us not to depend on a techno-fix, and ARPA-E’s free market strategy isn’t producing any noteworthy results.
Of course, oxymoronically, it’s impossible to assert achieving a “techno-fix” by producing a widget subject to church-state exceptionalism without reason serving the false damaging unscientific unregulated definition of individual liberty that actually caused the climate change/global warming problem in the first place. There is status quo hypocrisy in evolutionary biology, politics, and economics, if we continue to serve the tyranny of mindless natural selection, which is perfectly capable of favoring both brain-dead tribalism without reason and reversion to individual-level selection over group-level selection during the fog-of-biological-warfare interim that leads to producing evolutionary dead-ends.
I disagree with the assertion that “there is grandeur in this way of life”. Nobody can wish “survival of the fittest” or natural selection on another life - because it is tantamount to wishing death on them in absence of making every effort to design sustainable life through intelligent wise artificial selection and logic. Currently, there is only asserted grandeur in enabling the mindless natural selection determinism of tribalism without reason through the accommodation of the falsehood of religion that binds a tribe in unity to defeat the territorial enemy, including growth-model laissez faire capitalism on a finite planet that feeds the appetites of church-state exceptionalism and economic libertarian exceptionalism. In point of fact, this “grandeur” is rather pathetic. Consequently, there is only real truthful grandeur in identifying the immense consequence existing between the natural physics-governed cause and effect hierarchy, and a supernatural god-governed afterlife hierarchy, and then making every effort to design life through science-identified physics-governed artificial selection and logic.
Someday, by achieving sustainable eusocial technological globalization through a logical cultural evolution solution, there may be grandeur in “this way of life”. Clearly, it’s manmade yet physics-governed global warming time to step outside of the boxes that an indifferent universe designs for us. It’s time to jump through some evolutionary and physics-governed hoops; this I find noble, exciting, and desirable.
