Metaversalism

Metaversalism is a philosophical world-view or belief system that is based on the solid rational foundation that is provided by our sophisticated modern understanding of logic, mathematics, science, and computer science.

Using this foundation, we can deduce a set of philosophical propositions which we call Metaverse Theory. Metaverse Theory is a scientific theory of philosophy, based on logical deductions and very minimal assumptions whose validity can be rationally argued for. Despite this, it succeeds at answering a lot of philosophical questions that have historically been considered to be unanswerable by science. It addresses questions about the nature of existence, theology, and the afterlife.

Of course, Metaverse Theory does not itself answer every question we might have about these topics - it is a work in progress, and it is incomplete. However, it is a starting point which can potentially be fleshed out, by further scientific and mathematical investigations, to produce a more complete theory that can answer more questions.

Metaverse Theory is itself just a system of beliefs about factual propositions (what is the case) - it does not itself address questions of values and moral judgment, which we see as a distinct realm of discourse. To form a more complete philosophical system, Metaversalism augments Metaverse Theory by offering an additional system of ethical value judgments, which we call Metaversalist Ethics.

In other words, the basic structure of this philosophy is:

(Metaverse Theory) plus (Metaversalist Ethics) = Metaversalism.

Although Metaversalism is primarily a philosophical theory, it is powerful enough that it addresses questions traditionally answered by religion - such as theological questions about the possible existence and nature of a God or gods.

For this reason, we also refer to Metaversalism as a "meta-religion" (The Greek prefix "meta" meaning "after" or "beyond") because it is a framework of philosophical understanding that goes beyond the scope of any single ordinary religion. Indeed, Metaversalism is capable of encompassing all traditional religions simultaneously within its single overarching philosophical framework. We also hope that Metaversalism will literally be "after religion" in the sense of being the next, more mature phase of evolution that humanity's belief systems will evolve into.

More information about Metaversalism will be posted on this squidoo lens over time. In the meantime, you may read the website maintained by the Church of Metaversalism for more information.
