Systementalism

Systementalism refers to a non-theological/non-religious concept that the meaning of life can be simplified to the ensured survival of the human species. The term itself can be defined as "the mental awareness (of the natural evolutionary system that operates everything in existence) necessary to ensure human survival." While it can be easily confused as a religion, the concept of systementalism functions without the necessity of a supreme being or god while still giving ultimate value to the human species as a unit. The concept operates in a similar sense to Existentialism and Buddhism, in a philosophical way, one that permits humans to live freely without the constraints of a supreme being. However, systementalism is different in that it uses probabilities and scientific data to explain the nature of everything in the universe, explaining how and why it works and what purpose the humans have in the "big picture," in the most plausible way possible.
There is no published material as of yet that elaborates on the concept of systementalism as it is in it's early stages of development, although some information is expected to emerge in late 2010 or early 2011. In March 2010 a group of anonymous writers and theologists in the United States began researching and collecting information surrounding various religions and philosophies, while gathering scientific data to construct an idea of "the meaning of life." One of the anonymous writers involved in the development commented on the necessity of the concept, saying, "It's a question people have been asking for the course of their existence. They have never bothered to try and plausibly or selflessly answer due to constraints inflicted from religions, which are simply failed explanations, and other cultural prohibitions of free will, such as rules that provoke opposition. The mental awareness that IS systementalism is the most effective means possible to keep the human species alive. It's a natural human instinct to protect successors, but that's not possible when almost every (flawed) explanation out there gives humans the mentality that there will be an unavoidable end to their existence."
