| Forelaws on Board "The human inclination toward goodness is strong, but it can be strengthened by specific social conditions." - Greater Good Science Center, University of California, Berkeley Universal forelaws of empathy and compassion - empirical attributes of cosmic genealogy seated within the genome of humankind and all intelligent life - form the foundation of evolutionary panaltruism on Earth, moving humanity to a compassionate/cooperative world order with new cornerstones for the United Nations, to global water equilibrium (the state of balance existing between seawater converted to freshwater amply available worldwide, on one side, and, on the other, constancy in planetary sea levels), to development of life-centered cosmologies, and to active membership in the cosmic community of intelligent life (CCIL). As part and parcel of the physical unity of being life-centered cosmologies in the age of cosmic genealogy on Earth reflect cognizance of the observable universe of humankind (13,000 million light years in all directions), of solar systems with and without intelligent life, and universal forelaws of empathy and compassion. More pronounced in modern times owing to scientific research and discovery merging astrobiology and astronomy as conducted and led by the late Sir Fred Hoyle, by Chandra Wickramasinghe, Brig Klyce, Halton C. Arp, and others, cosmic genealogy dates as an age on Earth from the landmark and pivotal work of Louis Pasteur in 1859 disproving spontaneous generation of life. ("Life comes from space because life comes from life." - Brig KLyce, Astrobiology Trust Fund). Intelligent life reciprocally propagated from infinity to infinity by empirical intelligent life, from habited sites to habitable sites, describes cosmic life realism clearly consistent with evolutionary panaltruism and life-centered cosmologies. Searches for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI), such as the Kepler Mission and others, advance ultimate activism by humankind in the cosmic community of intelligent life: interconnected through communication (relayed and exchanged) within boundaries of observable universes and beyond via the phenomenon of overlapping observable universes. The transition on Earth to a compassionate/cooperative world order, built upon universal forelaws of empathy and compassion and given impetus by epochal developments in astrobiology and astronomy, faces challenges not least of which include terrorism, fossil fuels, nuclear weapons/energy, and the specter of international trade wars. Societal breakthroughs involve the basics of holistic forelawsship and evolutionary pantruism: (a) a healthful, sustainable environment for every planetary citizen, (b) universal health care publicly supported, (c) education for all based upon individual capability, (d) creative/productive employment for every planetary citizen, (e) post-retirement security . . . . . calling for new cornerstones and new guidelines for the United Nations: (1) world summitry on economic/societal sustainability, (". . . . . marshals previously untapped human cooperation, energy and resources toward creation of the compassionate/cooperative global society.") (2) A democratically planned and shared global economy, ("World leaders on economic/societal sustainability are urged to take note of scientific research validating the biological basis for human cooperation (Emory University).") (3) the DEMOCRATHON process, (". . . . . with potential and efficacy uniquely more widespread since the advent of Internet communication.") (4) Global Water Equilibrium (Project Ice-SHARE/Green Earth). ("Global water equilibrium describes quantifiable seawater desalination in volume sufficient to achieve and maintain constancy in planetary sea levels - while functionally responding to polar wander/pole shift, climate change, desertification, and the plight of low-lying coastal and island communities.") Ending international terrorism by employing the total resources of the United Nations requires, primarily, remedial education emphasizing intrinsic, compassionate humanness and proper scrutiny of all social dichotomies ranging in realm from religous dogmas, to political ideologies, to economic systems. Although following a philosophy antithetical to evolutionary panaltruism, adherents of global terrorism carry the same gene of empathy and compassion joining together all members of the human family. Evolutionary panaltruism and holistic forelawsship speak volumes for human unity, indefinable potential, and optimism destined to characterize the age of cosmic genealogy on Earth. Human potential and fulfillment rest, finally, on resolution of deep human needs to know from whence we came, safety and security, and on meaning and purpose (recognizing determinants consonant with universal forelaws of empathy and compassion: individual mate selection, nurturing of offspring, and early childhood education in a healthful, sustainable environment). Compassionate/cooperative humanity, appreciative of the grandeur and import of cosmic genealogy, concerns itself with life-centered issues and questions including cosmologies merging astrobiology and astronomy - the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) - infinities in nature unrelated to mathematics and physics - the strong version of panspermia (Cosmic Ancestry) - Viruses in the Evolution of Life (Villarreal, 2005) - locally developed horizontal gene transfer (HGTE) and cosmic/intelligent life propagated from Earth (CLPE), both keyed to evolutionary panaltruism - ground rules apropos to "artificial life" and "synthetic biology" - how do solar flares impact climate on Earth? - parent star stabilization/solar energy constancy - polar wander/pole shift - climate change - ethical vegetarianism - the terraforming of Mars - the overlapping of observable universes as a communicative mechanism for intelligent life - education coming to grips creatively with origins, meaning and purpose - all in testament to "concern for others and for those who will succeed us . . . . . " (The Center for Naturalism). "Whatever you can do . . . . . or believe you can . . . . . begin it Boldness has magic . . . . . power . . . . . and genius in it."
