In the long run, the most successful ideologies are going to be those that are best aligned with evolution. Unfortunately, evolution tends to be very unpleasant for its participants. At some point, we may have to choose between favoring ethics or life.

Common misconception! Abraham was willing to kill his child for a fully abstract higher purpose. This marks the point where homo sapiens became a state building species. Unlike purely tribal hominids, we had no longer size limits to cooperative groups, and outcompeted them all.

Conservatism is vague, but core ideas seem to be - humanity is not naturally a unitary group with benevolent motives, but antagonistic - the system that got us here is less likely to kill us than what some kid at university just dreamt up - most people need adult supervision
