Taking a break from fiction, and contemplating
29/06/02 a point of philosophical inquiry concerning righteousness
It is given to all that are capable of sight: some men are dark-skinned. Others are clear-skinned. The sun could hit just as hard on both, they would still be distinct even when the heat turns them into calcified bones. Their children are as themselves, vessels for the same genes - these genes intend on living forever; us puny consciousnesses are mere passengers to their great ambition. Still, there exists a variety of clusters of men; they have different physical and mental features, and their own conception of perfection.
It can be said that the perfect specimen of a nautical race should not be capable of sea sickness; the cluster should fight, and sacrifice some alternative characteristic, rather than suffer such a humiliation. Long, strong, permanent hair; maximized intellectual quotient; delicate, symmetrical facial features; expedient, fruitful production and delivery of children; strong capacity to detect and engage in the art of deceit; or the one of honor; or the one of fashion; or the one of actual, traditional art.
It is the nature of the superior individual to ascend into the higher positions amongst their own people, for, almost by definition, they simply outmatch their peers at their own games; yet that superiority is highly dependent on a variety of factors, and so, for example, a perfect general makes for a poor admiral, and vice versa; what is wanted or needed does not always map to what is useful or available, and so a great specimen can be overlooked as a sacrificed alternative. These decisions have far-reaching ramifications, such that, if we were to provide ten planets to ten distinct, racialized, tribes, and forbid all interaction in between them, and further make them destroy any records from the time they had previously spent together, there would quickly emerge a Dramatic Truth.
The Truth is visible in the architecture, fine-tuned to the tribe’s height and girdle. The Truth is visible in the language, comfortably inhabiting their collective mouths, and flowing as naturally as a stream. The Truth is visible in what type of facial feature they find attractive, what type of academic knowledge they chose to pursue, what food they chose to eat, and what quantity of friends is deemed appropriate.
I would not preach for such an arrangement of the human civilization - for competition, teeth grinding competition, is, at its core, in its most valid form when every competitor operate from the same, universal arena. It is an assured guarantee that isolation breeds either a false sense of complacency, or the taking of choices which, given a better, larger, perspective, are less than ideal. It is not to say that the largest arena has somehow formulated the ideal preferences; rather, the past is the past, there is no going back in time, and the only rational choice is to accept entry into the larger arena when presented the option, at whichever time it presents itself.
Let us, for simplicity, select to refer to the elite as those who control some network of institutions, often masters the fate of some native population; in turn, let’s refer to the nobility as the greatest specimens of leadership in such a given population, specifically within a homogenous genetic cluster. Let’s emphasize that these two groups are not necessarily overlapping, particularly in a situation of foreign occupation. In such a case, quite the reverse becomes true, and the elite explicitly betrays the inherence of a people by wielding their power in such a way as to deprive the nobles from their access to well-being, prosperity, and fertility - making them strangers to their own tribe. They are “Rebels”, “Terrorists”, “Bandits”, and tolerating them would be equivalent to allowing them to prevail.
A logical consequence is that all foreign occupations are fundamentally dysgenic and hurtful to its people, until the elite replaces that native population into copies of themselves, such that this new people now embraces the same ideas of perfection; and so we understand that a people that does not lead itself is doomed to be a victim: twisted into a tool, or eradicated.
Alternatively, the minimal condition for a people to be free is for its nobility to accurately represent its fundamental character. Ideally, the entire cluster agrees on some inherence, and the nobility enforces an order that is intuitively embraced both as good and as natural. If a new people were to emerge from this previous people, having achieved some alternative inherence, then in turn such a people could only be free through secession or conquest.
I claim it should be an ideal of a free people for its elite to be composed of its own vision of perfection; and that, given enough time, the formation of new, incompatible, species within the human race should find its epicenters in these very elites, so that two members of two different kinds should be least fertile with each other. Instead of an oppression, the trickling down of the genes of the elite unto the general population must be an admirable, empowering boon; and in the reverse, the elite must aim to be a sponge for the collective positive genes of their people. Any gene that is alien to the homogenous population, unless it appeared first amongst them, is a form of foreign occupation when possessed by the elite.

On the point of appreciated physical and mental traits, it can be said that humans of all tribes agree on many. Who does not believe in fingers? Who does not believe in mouths? And so, a universalist may simply leap forward and claim: “our similarities far exceeds our differences”.
What of those sub-saharian africans that are made to speak english or french, when their mouth is clearly not suited for such a task? What of the Pyramids, what of the Taj Mahal, what of Versailles, what of Las Vegas? Is it not apparent that we are driven towards different forms of life, according to our own intricate sensibilities?
When they wish for the human race to belong to a single gene pool, they are discarding hundreds of thousands of years of careful chiseling, as if no invention could ever be worth more than the sum of its components!
...
On the point of the elite seeking to replace the population under their care, it can be said, in the current context, that their plan appears to be rather different: in Europe, they are not replacing Europeans with themselves, but with foreigners.
We can only assume the alignment of inept bankers to be Disastrous-Evil.
