What if a philosophy of life had to be relevant across time and space...

I've been busy asking the AI chatbots for recommendations of authors who used the scientific method for philosophy (see previous post). So far, I haven't found any philosophers that started from the premise: "What if philosophy had to be universal, across time and space?" After all, isn't that what motivated the development of the scientific method? What if I wanted a philosophy that I could share with all sentient beings in the universe? What if I wanted insight into how aliens think?

To do this, I began my inquiry with the geologic history of Earth, and the "philosophy of life" passed down through two billion years. This brought me to a Darwin-esque start.

(1) Every philosophy of life that we will find in the universe will have embedded in it the necessary assumption that survival is important.

This "philosophy of life" will start as a genetic (or other, physical) encoded directive, passed through time.

(2) Every philosophy of life that we will find in the universe will have embedded in it the necessary assumption that adaptation is important.

Though there may be forms that survive over time for a very long time in their original form, these forms will be poorly designed to learn, to absorb the complexity of the universe. For example, atoms, formed billions of years ago and still around today, do not have the capacity to learn and adapt, nor do they need to learn and adapt, to survive.

(3) It is likely that every philosophy of life in the universe will accept change as a necessary condition of learning.

This includes change that does not contribute to increased learning. Therefor, philosophies of life will have coping mechanisms for the ups and downs, back and forths, of learning and understanding. We know these coping mechanisms as "forgiveness" and "long-term intention".

(4) It is likely that every philosophy of life will include recognition and acceptance of multiple points of view, since a single point of view will not be as successful at survival in a universe containing near-infinite variety.

We have recognized this through the development of communication, and the transmission of memes, passing information from one being to another. It is likely all sentient beings will have some form of communication between different points of view. This also means the communication will likely be standardized, shared between many or all of the points of view, with a mechanism for evaluating and resolving multiple points of view, likely similar to the scientific method.

(5) There will likely be an understanding of the limits of understanding, a "humility" and recognition of the existence of things beyond one's understanding.

This may manifest itself in a religion, or at least, a recognition of the "smallness" of one versus the "largeness" of everything else. For sentient beings who exist beyond the location of their birth, there will likely be a belief in the "quest for knowledge", or at least the "commitment to spreading knowledge".

Well, enough musings for now. I confess these are just scribblings, thoughts that pass through my brain. I haven't researched them, or proved them. I share them with the hope and understanding that, at 70 years old, I hope someone picks up the ball and runs with it!
