What should those different values and higher biological qualities
be?






As far as values are concerned: A sense of peoplehood is essential
-- and a sense of peoplehood necessitates race consciousness, since
nations are biological entities, not mental or geographic ones.

With a sense of peoplehood -- of who "we" are -- and the ability to
see that the survival and progress of our people should be our
highest moral values, trumping all others, we have a _chance_ of
survival. Without those values, there is no hope: Healthier peoples
will displace us and swamp us -- physically, culturally, and
genetically.

As for biological quality:

Life, for all living beings, is a struggle for the right to pass our
genes on to future generations.

Some human groups have less frontal lobe capabilities than we do,
but are far more fecund and loyal to their kind on average than we are.

Others have slightly higher IQs than us on average, but less
tendency to produce creative geniuses.

Only time will tell which is the best strategy. There have always
been races and varieties of men (just as there have always been
varieties of birds or wheat or squirrels), for as long as there have
been men on this planet.

As in the days of _homo neanderthalis_ and his competitors -- and as
in the days of the several races of _homo erectus_ -- some of the
branches of humanity will succeed and continue to evolve and branch
yet further... and others will go extinct.

The best strategy for our people being among the former is, I think,
positive eugenics. This does not at all mean a society more coercive
than ours is. It just means rewarding people with high character and
intelligence and creativity for having children -- and rewarding
those with a lack of those characteristics for not having children.
(This could ultimately lead to a dramatic reduction in societal
coercion, since people of high intelligence and character and
responsibility don't need many laws or policemen or prisons, nor do
they generally want them.)

I believe that the nation that adopts positive eugenics on a large
enough scale will advance and prosper at a rapid and compounding
rate. It could possibly leave the rest of us behind to the same
extent that _erectus_ was left behind once true humans emerged --
and refused to mate with the lower types.


With all good wishes,
