So what if I'm incel? I still have family members reproducing that share most of my genesAnd yet you're incel. You wont pass on your genes and survive. So why do you care about some sexhavers hundreds of years in the future.
Idk about modelling morality and the purpose of life (if they even exist) on some primitive biological impulse.
The state surviving against who? We're no longer living in the age of conquest. The only party with that idea would be your totalitarian state. The result would be unnecessary suffering for its populace as well a every other.
Thats probably the worst way as history has shown. It will just get wiped out.
All of this still doesn't answer why *you* support any of this. Your answer just circles back to the the survival of state for survivals sake and the benefit of a handful of people somewhere down the line.
When you say "a total state" do you mean its not necessarily your in-group? idk how that would mesh with your first point
It's simply my morals
Great Power Competition still exists you know. The US is concerned about China's growing military capabilities (if China achieves hegemony in East Asia, they'll be free to wander out of the neighborhood to cause trouble in the Western hemisphere, like how Austria stationed forces in Mexico during the American civil war, or how the USSR attempted to station missiles in Cuba) not to mention the existence and sovereignty of states is threatened all the time even in the current era (such as Ukraine and Palestine)
A state with an average IQ of 145 would easily be able to make a play at world domination without getting wiped out. In the past, even states with only a difference of 15 IQ points and a small technological gap were able to easily subdue the other (Spain and the Aztecs + Inca). A state with a +45 IQ difference and a much faster rate of technological advancement would either be able to develop a first strike nuclear capability, or the ability to quantum hack every other country on the planet. How can a state get wiped out if it is the only state left? Only way would be by alien invasion or by global catastrophe (which will be better coordinated against by a global Singleton)
Suffering is just a state of mind that we evolved to ensure survival. Survival should be the only imperative (if it causes our primitive minds suffering, so be it)
So what if it's circular reasoning? LIfe exists solely to exist
A total state that dominates the world would have the entirety of our species as an in group
