Beyondism: Religion from Science

by Raymond Cattell

Expanding on his earlier work, Cattell applies the Beyondist viewpoint to major ethical questions. Starting from the premise that evolution is the fundamental process present in the universe, he explains that human evolution is governed by natural selection among groups, which in turn, is based upon genetic and cultural selection among individuals. Since natural selection of individuals is directed toward forming a viable group, the genetic and cultural shaping of individuals must fit the survival conditions of the group. The goal of Beyondism is to find these ethical and cultural conditions that are necessary for successful evolutionary adaptation and advancement.

[Benjamin Colon · Rating 5 out of 5]

Strongly recommend. This book is going to be the foundation of the next wave of religions as we must adopt scientific principles into our morality if we are to survive as a species as we are ruled by a primitive tribal morality and elite, this means we must evolve quickly or we will break down due to dysgenics and spiteful mutational morality and good men will do nothing as they will be enslaved by this primitive morality.

Very autistic "scientific" morality based on competitive evolution beyond traditional religion or any sort of mushy humanism of a Kantian or Millian sort. tl;dr
