ABSTRACT
Rightist traits were once adaptive and now are less so. Leftist traits constitute the new adaptive norm of our species. The persistence of archaic behavior can be addressed by creating a socialist economy in which care is provided that diminishes the need for such adaptive archaic behavior as predation and hostile competition. Such an economy would require a universal currency, regulation of prices, wages, and incomes, limits on resource hoards, and such assurances as a basic income, healthcare, and free education. Implementing such an economy would require the creation of a civil service consisting of public servants guided by the best principles of the leftist adaptive norm—rationality, fairness, equality, benevolence, secularism, universality, and empathy. A first step would be the creation of a Global Governance Organization akin to the WTO. It would assure that all government worldwide is accountable and non-authoritarian. Ultimately, nations would need to disappear and be subsumed into a Global Government. Only such an organization would neutralize the kin-band animosities to which the nation form of social organization is prone.
