This book presents solutions to problems that are total and based
on thinking about how and why humans have organized themselves. It
discusses how to avoid the now well-documented Holocene Extinction,
propelled by climate change, wars, resource depletion,
desertification, degrading knowledge quality, famine, and
deterioration of societies overall. It explains why we cannot
respond effectively with hedonistic, incompetent, corrupt, and
anarchistic "liberal democracy" and why neither personality cult
regimes can suffice. The book offers a model of an organic
social structure embodying a collective consciousness of
communitarianism and Platonic-style ethos. Putting an emphasis on
the re-establishment of Classical Greek virtue, it offers solutions
to resolve identity politics, alienation, and meritocracy. While
doing so, the author opposes the "everyone is equal" ideology to
govern the section of policymakers, instead circumscribing "rights"
in terms of responsibilities, prioritizing education and training
to carry forth the ethos of valuing truth above materialism, and
developing Durkheim's social brain via a new discipline,
"sociointelligence". The book goes on to explain how underpinning
these elements is a comprehensive elucidation of often
misunderstood words like "liberty", "freedom", "authoritarianism",
and "democracy". All of these areas are arranged and combined in
uniquely describing the organic society the author deems necessary
to avoid human extinction. As a result, the book presents a
“new organicity”, where the emerging transhumanism seeks to
transcend hydrocarbon-based life with humanly-constructed life.
This book will appeal to students, researchers, and scholars of
political science, philosophy, and the social sciences interested
in a better understanding of complexity, democratic theory,
Holocene Extinction, organic thinking, and meritocratic
societies.
