Evolutionary Koranism - Secular Koranism Blends With Beyondism

 TABLE OF CONTENTS   

### Synthesized Political System: Evolutionary Koranism The synthesis of Claire Khaw's Secular Koranism and Raymond Cattell's Beyondism yields a coherent political system termed Evolutionary Koranism. This system integrates the practical, law-based framework of Secular Koranism—derived from Koranic principles but stripped of religious dogma—with Beyondism's scientific, evolutionary ethics, which prioritizes human progress through natural selection among groups and individuals. At its core, Evolutionary Koranism views evolution as the universe's prime process, to which societies must conform through cooperative competition, genetic and cultural variation, and survival-oriented adaptations. It rejects revealed religions' universalism and illusions, such as personal immortality or a benevolent deity, in favor of an austere, science-driven spirituality that channels human urges toward collective advancement. The system operates as a one-party state dedicated to evolutionary goals, where laws enforce behaviors that enhance group viability, reduce genetic lag, and foster divergence among nations for broader human progress. The foundational principle of Evolutionary Koranism is that ethical values derive from empirical social science research aimed at maximizing group survival and evolutionary potential, rather than subjective intuitions or divine revelation. Drawing from Beyondism, it mandates variation and natural selection at both individual and group levels, requiring societies to maintain genetic and cultural diversity while competing cooperatively under a world federation. Secular Koranism's agnostic legalism provides the enforceable structure: a constitution encoding laws that promote virtue, discipline, and adaptation, while tracking societal performance through registries and departments. This ensures that human evolution proceeds via intergroup selection, which in turn shapes intragroup ethics. For instance, the system's emphasis on adventure and risk-taking aligns with Beyondism's call for bold genetic and cultural mutations, implemented through Secular Koranism's mechanisms like eugenic policies and state-directed innovation. Governance under Evolutionary Koranism is structured as a one-party state, as per Secular Koranism, but infused with Beyondism's requirement for elite leadership and scientific oversight. No new political parties are permitted, ensuring unified pursuit of evolutionary objectives, but a registry of dissidents provides a state platform for grievances, fostering creative individualism without fracturing the group. A Department of Wisdom ranks citizens by age group on problem-solving in logic, math, human needs, politics, and morality, selecting qualified elites for decision-making. This is complemented by Beyondism-inspired sociobiological research institutes, both national and international, that continuously revise laws based on data from group comparisons. A Department of Complaints and Suggestions handles public input, while a ministry of evolution directs changes from the top, integrating policy sciences like economics and genetics. Authority is authoritative yet progressive: it enforces moral standards with the rigor of scientific truth, allowing deviation only in controlled experimental subgroups to test viability. To reduce antisemitism and promote interreligious evaluation, the state adopts the Jewish calendar and holidays, encouraging rabbis to rank major gentile religions (Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism) by conformity to Noahide Laws, which serve as a baseline for evolutionary ethics. Economic policies blend Secular Koranism's flat-rate structures with Beyondism's respect for natural laws reflecting environmental realities. A 20% flat-rate income tax funds equal services for all, rejecting progressive taxation as it disrupts differentials that motivate eugenic trends and cultural pressure. Usury is banned to prevent parasitic exploitation, aligning with Beyondism's condemnation of behaviors that weaken group selection. Inheritance tax is abolished, but wealth differentials are preserved to reward contributions, with earnings adjusted for non-market roles like research or moral inquiry. Gambling debts remain unenforceable, emphasizing personal risk in a system that values adventure over security. To address poverty without perpetuating it, those in chronic need become government-owned slaves, hired out under monitored conditions, ensuring they contribute while receiving care—this embodies Beyondism's compassionate yet unsentimental approach, phasing out maladaptive traits through selection rather than indefinite welfare. Elderly unfit for slavery can opt for superior accommodations as living museum exhibits in history, sociology, or psychology, promoting education while rewarding virtue; refusers receive basic support, avoiding the hedonic pact that stalls evolution. Social and family laws enforce virtue hierarchies to align human nature with evolutionary demands, reducing genetic lag. Married parents top the hierarchy, followed by married childless, unmarried childless, and unmarried parents, reflecting Beyondism's emphasis on altruism and group maintenance. Marriage requires contracts via a state Marriage Bureau, offering classes on gender roles, counseling, genetic testing for diseases, compatibility assessments, and exams to foster lasting unions. No-fault divorce is prohibited; instead, disputes follow a Koranic-derived process: verbal warning, bed separation, ceremonial wrist-slapping before witnesses, then tribunals encouraging reconciliation, culminating in court if needed. Men may marry up to four wives if treated fairly, promoting polygamy as a eugenic tool for higher-reproducing successful males, while women marry one. Abortion is legal but punished with 100 public lashes for both parents, deterring irresponsibility without banning choice. Unmarried parents face 100 cane lashes, reinforcing discipline. Upon birth, fathers receive free DNA tests to confirm paternity, ensuring accountability. Female birth control is restricted to married women who have completed families or prostitutes, balancing population quality with needs. Sexual and moral regulations curb excesses that hinder cultural creativity and sublimation, as per Beyondism's analysis of ergic energies. Prostitution is legalized in red-light districts, channeling urges productively, but visible homosexual expressions are banned—no advertised gay bars or parades—while domestic partnerships are allowed; public admissions risk lewdness violations. This maintains order without denying freedom, aligning with Beyondism's rejection of permissive attitudes that warp ethics via pleasure principles. Blasphemy is protected, and freedom of religion upheld, with no dietary or alcohol prohibitions except Noahide bans on eating live animals or torn flesh. Muslims are discouraged from traditional Ramadan fasting to avoid societal disruptions, instead spreading fasts over the year on days off, prioritizing group functionality. Education and social tracking systems promote adaptation and variation. A three-tier schooling divides children by parental virtue: A-schools for married parents' children, B+ for repentant unmarried, B for unrepentant, with equal funding and standards to emphasize moral signaling over quality disparity. Biological education is expanded to instill perspective on humanity's place—not as the universe's center, but one species among millions—fostering Beyondism's austere spirituality. Training focuses on emotional balance, objectivity, and defense against psychological warfare, while integrating eugenics and euthenics to match population supply with societal demands. To enable group-level evolution, citizens receive race codes via Britain's police IC system, determined by government assessment, not self-identification, for tracking performance statistics like crime or excellence. A religious registry identifies citizens by faith or lack thereof—confirmed Orthodox Jews, heretical Jews, church-verified Christians, self-identified others, atheists, agnostics, nontheists, and converts—for analyzing social tendencies, informing eugenic policies. This supports Beyondism's call for eugenics: positive trends via family size linked to success, acceptance of differences without envy, and potential genetic engineering or species splitting for long-term divergence. Migration is controlled to preserve culturo-racial experiments, with planned hybridizations for innovation. Security and media are state-directed for evolutionary ends. A citizens' militia ensures defense and instills discipline, while a state TV channel broadcasts propaganda to unify purpose and counter mass media vulgarity. Media face controls akin to education or medicine, preventing trivialization and biased information that undermines morale. Internationally, Evolutionary Koranism advocates a world federation for cooperative competition, avoiding universalism's imperialism. Groups diverge in adventures, monitored by federated research for ethical rules on interactions—rejecting charity that confuses selection feedback, phasing out moribund cultures humanely via education and birth control (genthanasia), and maintaining diversity to prevent single-species vulnerability. War is phased out through alternatives like intellectual ascendancy, but competition persists to brace societies against cosmic challenges. Emotionally, the system integrates Beyondism's adventure-sharing with Secular Koranism's structured virtue, offering fulfillment through collective progress rather than illusions. It cultivates superego strength via disciplined upbringing, sublimating urges into cultural pursuits, and demands urgency in evolution to counter narcism. By synthesizing these, Evolutionary Koranism creates a dynamic, survival-focused polity where laws serve science-derived ethics, fostering human advance amid an indifferent universe.
