*"The task of any nation is to be Godly, meaning good for Life"*

What is Life? What defines it?

Life is the greatest Order in nature. An organism is a giant collaboration: billions of cells, working to achieve a common goal of growth and reproduction. 

Though an organism is a large collaboration, every organism has many competing elements. In each organism, the amount and nature of these elements varies.

At the great poles of Life we have God and Satan. God is good for Life, Satan is bad for Life. God and Satan fight the war of Order vs. Chaos, Collaboration vs. Competition, and Togetherness vs. Separation.

In the beginning, Lucifer was in God's kingdom. They collaborated.
In the present, Lucifer fights God's kingdom. They compete.
In the end, Lucifer will be cast down and defeated. God's collaboration will be restored.

Therefore, we can see that the Bible is ultimately in favor of collaboration. The Bible is ultimately in favor of Life. However, the message of the Bible is that competition and division are essential to form God's kingdom. Without these, there would be no free will.

We know this, because God enforces competition and division himself. In the story of the Tower of Babel, God destroys the collaborative spirit of humanity and scatters our language. This results in us going outward, to different parts of the Earth.

What does this mean? How could a God that loves collaboration and Life be in favor of division and competition?

Perhaps we should consider the economy. Does monopoly result in good outcomes? No. Monopoly almost always results in stagnation.

So, if we look at the Tower of Babel as a monopoly on Life, it is the same principle.

In the story of the Tower, the humans are united with the purpose of building the Tower. Due to this, they share Language, Culture, Race, Location, and Government. Therefore, these people are one nation. Their nation has no competition, and God destroys it.

Let us look at the modern day. We are building our own Tower. We are erasing language differences with software, and pushing Globalist policies to erase all borders and mix the nations. We even built a literal tower; a monument to this endeavor - the World Trade Center. 

In the story of the Tower of Babel, God enforces competition and division. But God's future kingdom will be collaboration and togetherness.

Therefore, there are only two options in the present day:

1. We are following the same pattern of empire and decline as Athens and Rome
2. We have reached the End of History. The Kingdom of God is here.

So which is our situation today?

Does the Tower of Babel still apply?
Or are we done with competition?

What exactly is this "end of history"?  The term was pushed by Francis Fukuyama in 1989, with his essay "The End of History?". It was also pushed by Marx, and is also implied by the Bible.

The "End of History" implies a lack of competition, individualism, and prosperity for everyone. It implies that humans have completed development. 

Consider this notion: *Humans have completed development*.

Knowing what we know about Evolution, what sort of statement is this? What does it say about the mindset of the nation?

If the species has completed development, that implies extinction. There is no life form anywhere that doesn't change. So, if we stop changing, we don't exist.

The truth about a nation like ours is that we love the temporary. This is why we are debaucherous; this is why we accept homosexuality in increasing numbers. If all that matters is now, why do we need reproduction? Why do we need to avoid addiction?

And, most of all - why would we take any sort of risk?

In the End of History, there is no point in fighting. Just as in the Roman Empire, our military recruitment numbers are dropping. We enjoy erasing all "archaic" bonds such as culture and ethnicity, because these bonds are hundreds and thousands of years old. If all that matters is the past 80 years, why would anyone fight? If a man's actions only last a single lifetime -  why would he give his life?

The best and only way for a man to risk his life is for him to be a part of something greater than himself. If that something has already arrived, there is no longer a point. If we are not part of a great long tradition, and we do not carry that tradition on, what is the point of risking one’s life?

Perhaps this is the true cycle of civilization: once we reach the life of the successful tribesman, there is nothing left. There is no future; there is no past. Our collective has achieved maximum movement and freedom, and any path forward only offers more hardship.

Movement and freedom break morality and predictability. Free sex; free indulgence. Society is disordered, just as the primitive individual.

It seems the ultimate truth of civilization is that primitive experience is undefeated. Sooner or later, debauchery takes all. The society moves towards individualism and the present moment, and this present movement breaks the society's ability to achieve collective goals. 

The only way for tradition to exist is if we are a part of a larger national project than one or two generations. The only larger national project is a cultural and ethnic project, formed over generations.

If you want your nation to last, do not become an empire. Empire is the supernova of a dying race. 


What if the human project is not about what we do, but who we are? What if those obsessed with large scale achievement are those who have no internal faith in the propagation of their genes?

If life is about who we are, producing a healthy and surviving population is the most important thing. 

But if life is what we do…

The long term is disregarded. God is left behind. Anyone can choose anything; anyone can be anyone. 

Regardless of race, creed, sex or religion - the sky is the limit. Long-term projects are irrelevant. Everything is here; everything is now. All that matters is what a *person* can produce. 

But what is an individual compared to a couple? After all, isn’t another human being the most significant production of all? A child?

And so, what is a couple compared to a family? After all, a healthy family is a much stronger organism than a simple man and woman.

But what is a family compared to a community? After all, the children will need to marry and have children of their own. Wouldn’t it be great if there was a community of like-minded people who could exchange children for marriage? 

And so, round and round we go.
