After Point Omega, humanity finds itself in a totally novel situation. We will have left the situation in which consciousness was evolving up to Point Omega and we will have entered the situation of conscious evolution, the beginning of which is Point Omega. Many of the rules, regulating societies before Point Omega will become superfluous or counter-productive and will vanish as a consequence. In fact, most of the limiting rules, needed in the old situation(s), will lose their necessity. This will release enormous amounts of energy in all participants, energy that can forthwith be spent on more useful, creative and productive goals then merely keeping each other in check.
- Among other things: "Curiosity replacing fear, rather than scientific thinking replacing superstition". ****************(work out)***********
Below are some of the rules that will apply, also, or especially, in the new situation.
Treat others as you would like to be treated yourself
This also stems from Christian tradition and from Buddhist tradition.
This also pertains to other species than the human race. Self actualization brings forth automatically a raised compassion with all forms of life, because there is more emotional space. This results in "good stewardship" over nature, an old Christian ideal.
Procreate consciously
There is no need to receive children with handicaps, nor to produce them. Parents, and also governments with all their guidance potential, have a responsibility towards newborn life. Every newborn is entitled to be wished for and to be received with joy and love. This includes the parental care for the quality of the new life, also in the planning phase. Medical and biological knowledge and skills make suffering from innate defects large and by unnecessary from Point Omega on.
This principle will automatically put an end to overpopulation. Statistics show that the percentage of children, born unwanted, is such that if that category will end, numbers will rapidly decrease.
Technically speaking, there will be no need to restrict the number of children, permitted per parent, by force. Chinese methods are, or will soon be, superfluous. Helping parents to avoid unwished for children, will already be enough to reduce the average reproduction rate to below 2,0 per woman. Governments had better spend their energy in counter-effecting the tendency of "the most stupid people reproducing fastest", which is one of the major forces in the evolution of intelligence, up to Point Omega. See the chapter on the mechanisms of the emergence and evolution of intelligence, holding for any universe.
