But generally I would ask you to name one single area that has improved since 2010.  I can't think of one.  In modern culture, everything only gets worse.  Areas that come to mind include music, art, movies, architecture, software, politics, conversation, science, customer service, etc.  The name "Arkian" comes from Noah's Ark with the idea being that the Arkian ethnicity is designed to be a refuge to preserve what is good about humanity in the face of a global dysgenic culture that is making almost all of humanity go bad.</p>

 <p>Why does religion decline in successful societies?  One can only speculate.  When society is poor then people feel a need for religion and intelligent people tend to go into religion as the only escape from the chaos of their world.  Once a society becomes successful, regular people don't feel as much need for religion.  But even more important is that intelligent people have many other options in a successful society besides religion, so religion attracts far fewer intelligent people.  Some of these intelligent people become degenerates and attack religion.  Since religion doesn't have enough intelligent people to defend itself, it either conforms to the degeneracy of its time or it simply closes its collective mind and becomes fundamentalist and rejects all reason.  This happened most clearly in Islam where the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mu%CA%BFtazila">Muʿtazila</a> became degenerate in response to challenges from philosophy, and then there was a fundamentalist backlash led by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanbali">Hanbali</a>.  Muslims have been fundamentalists ever since which is why they never produced anything comparable to the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_Golden_Age">Islamic Golden Age</a> again.  Christianity is now going through a similar process.  The end result is a loss of religious understanding as I described in my post <a href="/mikraite/Understanding.html">Understanding</a>.</p>
 
-<p>As far as I know, the only Christians who retain a good understanding of their religion is the <a href="https://saidit.net/s/nonmorons/comments/9e6z/please_visit_a_mennonite_church/">Conservative Mennonites</a>.  One can see the beginning of the process of religious decay in the <a href="http://forum.mennonet.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=4641">Mexican Mennonites</a>.  Most of modern Christianity is too far gone to even be interesting.  Modern Islam is closed-minded but still retains the potential for a reformation that could make it a good religion again.</p>

 <p>One last point is the relationship between religion and science.  Science only conflicts with fundamentalist religion, and in fact science depends on good religion, particularly good monotheism.

-<p>These issues are intrinsic to the nature of earlier Christianity.  Before Constantine, Christianity was just a religious movement.  After Constantine, it became a centralized religion in the forms of the Catholic Church and Orthodox Church.  These centralized structures fundamentally didn't allow for meaningful communities to develop.  The closest was the monasteries themselves which did have strict standards, but clearly couldn't become a genetic group.</p>

-<p>Only after the Reformation decentralized Christianity did strong communities become possible.  Early American towns were typically dominated by one church that set the moral standards for the town.  This was early Protestantism, but Protestantism became increasingly individualistic over time until it became too individualistic to form meaningful communities.  The Reformation movement that still has the capacity to form meaningful communities is <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anabaptism">Anabaptism</a>.

-<p>Conservative Mennonite groups have clear standards for membership.  And they mostly marry within their group, so they form a coherent genetic group.

But obviously it can only work for people who accept Mennonite beliefs.  As a non-Christian, I would prefer a solution that works for all intelligent religious people regardless of their beliefs.</p>

 <p>By now all decent intelligent Jews have stopped being Jews.  The Jews that remain Jews are either stupid or they like the evil Talmudic nonsense.  This is why today's Jews are generally evil.  This is why Jewish intellect declined so rapidly.  And this is why Israel implemented a covid vaccine holocaust on their own population, because modern Jews are too stupid to know any better and too evil to allow dissent.</p>
 
-<p>I have described the Jews at such length because, in spite of their flaws, they are the closest to a general working solution to the problem of mass human decay.  The flaws in the Jewish system may condemn them to be evil and stupid in the near future, but they are still likely to survive as a group.  Since they are an ethnicity, they do not have the religious inflexibility of the Mennonites, so they can evolve as needed to survive, and anyone who is committed can join regardless of their beliefs.  Their rules of genetic separation ensure that they will remain a coherent genetic group distinct from the doomed masses.  The Arkian idea is inspired by the Jewish model, but is an attempt to do it right and avoid evil and stupidity.</p>

 <p>Now I will enumerate the problems with racial separation.  The first problem is that the gene pool of a race is not static even if it is isolated.  The genetic composition of any group will change based on selection pressure.  In modern societies, the main pressure is <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_selection">sexual selection</a> and this is largely determined by culture.  So if a community is genetically isolated but not culturally isolated, then the surrounding culture will seep in and this will result in the same evolutionary pressures being applied to the group.  And this will slowly change the genetics of the group to resemble the people around them.  Note that modern culture is highly dysgenic, so any isolated gene pool that has modern culture will genetically decline rapidly.</p>
