We are coming out of the Age of Symbolism, which replaced the Age of Idols, and moving toward a new system of thought. Most likely, following our technological developments, it will be an Age of Concepts and will divide into the arbitrary and the abstract but realistic.

Where in the Age of Idols it was important to organize society around a sacred object, in the Age of Symbolism society was organized around sacred beliefs in the form of categorical logic, x=good and y=evil type stuff.

In the age of concepts, it will be important to understand cause-effect linkages between reality and goal. Methods, symbols, judgments, feelings, and opinions will be less important. What works will triumph, if we can understand it and explain it. Function will matter more than appearance.

As part of this, we are going to stop judging concepts by their appearance, and focus on actual functionality and consequences in reality. This will include a push for mono-ethnic states in order to preserve civilizations, as Theodor Herzl wrote in The Jewish State:

Is it not true that, in countries where we live in perceptible numbers, the position of Jewish lawyers, doctors, technicians, teachers, and employees of all descriptions becomes daily more intolerable? Is it not true, that the Jewish middle classes are seriously threatened? Is it not true, that the passions of the mob are incited against our wealthy people? Is it not true, that our poor endure greater sufferings than any other proletariat? I think that this external pressure makes itself felt everywhere. In our economically upper classes it causes discomfort, in our middle classes continual and grave anxieties, in our lower classes absolute despair.

Can we hope for better days, can we possess our souls in patience, can we wait in pious resignation till the princes and peoples of this earth are more mercifully disposed towards us? I say that we cannot hope for a change in the current of feeling. And why not? Even if we were as near to the hearts of princes as are their other subjects, they could not protect us. They would only feel popular hatred by showing us too much favor. By “too much,” I really mean less than is claimed as a right by every ordinary citizen, or by every race. The nations in whose midst Jews live are all either covertly or openly Anti-Semitic.

Let the sovereignty be granted us over a portion of the globe large enough to satisfy the rightful requirements of a nation; the rest we shall manage for ourselves.

Instead of trying to make a moral or political community, we are aiming for biological ones. Others know us by what we are, so we must do the same, and in doing so, we stop worrying about good/evil and start focusing on self-interest. To survive, we must be mono-ethnic.

That means one ethnic group per nation and everyone else goes away. You do that so that you can have rule by culture instead of by commerce and bureaucracy. Instead of trying to assert individual power, people seek a niche in the hierarchy of those helping to achieve the goals of the culture.

In this way, culture and tribe become part of a spiritual process by which we actualize ourselves through losing ourselves in a larger process:

Fascism is an historical conception in which man could not be what he is without being a factor in the spiritual process to which he contributes, either in the family sphere or in the social sphere, in the nation or in history in general to which all nations contribute. Hence is derived the great importance of tradition in the records, language, customs and rules of human society. Man without a part in history is nothing.

For this reason Fascism is opposed to all the abstractions of an individualistic character based upon materialism typical of the Eighteenth Century; and it is opposed to all the Jacobin innovations and utopias. It does not believe in the possibility of “happiness” on earth as conceived by the literature of the economists of the Seventeenth Century; it therefore spurns all the teleological conceptions of final causes through which, at a given period of history, a final systematisation of the human race would take place. Such theories only mean placing oneself outside real history and life, which is a continual ebb and flow and process of realisations.

Politically speaking, Fascism aims at being a realistic doctrine; in its practice it aspired to solve only the problems which present themselves of their own accord in the process of history, and which of themselves find or suggest their own solution. To have the effect of action among men, it is necessary to enter into the process of reality and to master the forces actually at work.

While Mussolini fell short of these ambitions, his aims were entirely in line with traditional thinking: genetics establishes culture which gives people a framework in which they can reason from basic heuristics about what behavior will be rewarded or punished.

People in such a system achieve a greater degree of individuality because they are no longer trying to demonstrate individualism. Their individuality is entirely separate from a social identity that they project, and instead is based on their participation in a function, organic culture.

This also eliminates the mental spam of constantly jockeying for importance and power. Currently people start out with no position in society, therefore have to assert roles and drama constantly, and therefore end up with no time to learn who they actually are.

We are spending all of our time re-inventing the obvious surface parts of the individual — money, power, status, lifestyle, self-expression — and completely neglecting the inner part which is explored like terrain in darkness, since most of us barely know ourselves.

The social drama just gets in the way of that.

Much of life involves exploring the unknown, but as it turns out, that is how we learn best, through a Socratic process of conjecturing about the world, testing those conjectures, and then refinining them. Our brains work better when exploring questions:

In prediction activities, students were asked to make informed guesses before being taught a concept, helping them build deeper understanding of topics independently.

“I think we have some deep-seated biases when things feel familiar to us,” Walck-Shannon said in response to students favoring the worked examples. “This is true not only for our course activities, but also for how students study independently. They gravitate toward things that are similar to what they’ve already seen.”

But prediction activities force students to identify what they don’t know. “That’s what learning is,” Walck-Shannon emphasized. “Once you figure out as much as you possibly can, you realize what gaps you have in your knowledge, and then the instructors are there to fill them in for you, and your groupmates are there to fill them in for you.”

We cannot get to the point of exploring ourselves until we have pushed aside all of the daily drama and feel comfortable in our environment enough to trust in others and believe that we understand how society will respond to our actions.

A mono-ethnic society allows culture to predominate fully. “Culture” is always ill-defined, but basically means a set of folkways of ways of living that are both flexible and have obvious results and goals. They are heuristics through which we understand the world.

Culture brings high trust because we know how others will respond to whatever we do. Culture determines the types of behaviors, values, and modes of living that are rewarded, and basically leaves anything that does not fit to find its own way.

Instead of laws and religion, which try to force us all to behave the same way, culture is inherently hierarchical and recognizes that we each have a place, which allows it to be tolerant of quiet harmless eccentricity.

In addition, mono-ethnic societies are necessary for protecting us genetically. If even a few foreigners get mixed into our bloodlines, we are hybrids from that point on as the genes spread through the population, and what was once us is lost and replaced.

We in the West are after all the continuance of the oldest European line which once ranged from Siberia to Britain:

We obtained a genome sequence from Kostenki 14 in European Russia dating from 38,700 to 36,200 years ago, one of the oldest fossils of anatomically modern humans from Europe. We find that Kostenki 14 shares a close ancestry with the 24,000-year-old Mal’ta boy from central Siberia, European Mesolithic hunter-gatherers, some contemporary western Siberians, and many Europeans, but not eastern Asians. Additionally, the Kostenki 14 genome shows evidence of shared ancestry with a population basal to all Eurasians that also relates to later European Neolithic farmers. We find that Kostenki 14 contains more Neandertal DNA that is contained in longer tracts than present Europeans. Our findings reveal the timing of divergence of western Eurasians and East Asians to be more than 36,200 years ago and that European genomic structure today dates back to the Upper Paleolithic and derives from a metapopulation that at times stretched from Europe to central Asia.

Each ethnic group has its own spirit and culture encoded into its genes. Genes code for traits, and collections of traits make inclinations and abilities; when these work together, it forms a genetic framework that is unique to that ethnic group.

Through a feedback loop between culture and genes, the group reinforces and clarifies its behaviors and through the behaviors it rewards, who breeds the most and therefore, what its genome will be. Very successful societies have minimal variation between their members and high standards.

Many philosophers of the past have noted mono-ethnic societies survive and thrive because each culture is unique to its genome and therefore, mono-ethnicism alone can preserve culture:

Whereas such eminent Enlightenment philosopher-historians as Hume and Voltaire had normally still held that, as Hume put it, “mankind are so much the same in all times and places that history informs us of nothing new or strange” (1748: section VIII, part I, 65), Herder discovered, or at least saw more clearly than anyone before him, that this was false, that peoples from different historical periods and cultures vary tremendously in their concepts, beliefs, values, (perceptual and affective) sensations, and so forth. He also recognized that similar, albeit usually less dramatic, variations occur even between individuals within a single period and culture.

In fact, we resist a process of averaging where the individuals with higher traits are pulled down to a global average, usually through admixture, and in this process they lose their genetic frameworks.

This pattern is not new but in fact prehistoric because it is part of the methods of nature:

The fossil, uncovered at the Çorakyerler site with support from Türkiye’s Ministry of Culture and Tourism, reveals that Mediterranean fossil apes were more diverse than previously thought.

These apes are part of the earliest known group of hominins, which includes not only African apes like chimpanzees, bonobos, and gorillas but also humans and their fossil ancestors.

“Our findings further suggest that hominines not only evolved in western and central Europe but spent over five million years evolving there and spreading to the eastern Mediterranean before eventually dispersing into Africa, probably as a consequence of changing environments and diminishing forests,” explained Professor Begun.

Nature dislikes global uniformity and values specificity and adaptation to niche. Culture is the mechanism by which the methods of such adaptation are expressed, and therefore is the root of the heart of the nation, but without the genetics, it gets reinterpreted.

Reinterpretations always invert the culture because they come at it from an outsider view, therefore do not understand the why behind its methods, and by imitating its methods without understanding its goal, the reinterpreters make those methods into their own.

When you approach something across a boundary, all of its direction is invert; that which was going outward seems to be heading inward, and that which is heading inward seems to be going elsewhere. This causes the inversion.

For this reason, culture and race+ethnicity must be preserved together. Race alone will not do it, nor will religion or politics, but ethnicity gives birth to culture and maintains it, and only in this way does a society survive erasure.
