Philosophies attempt to organize knowledge like a machine meant to have thoughts/problems pumped in one end and perceptions/solutions pumped out the other. Philosophers naturally strive for a philosopher stone or, "perfect machine" in order to pump out perfect perceptions and thoughts across all situations.
Broader philosophies such as following the 10 commandments or 7 hermetic principles do so to a vaguer degree, meaning while you can use them as a way of producing perceptions and solutions to situations, you can also use them as a means of categorizing thoughts and problems based on the category of commandment or principle they deal with.
Religious maps/models such as Kabballah and Kundalini switch to a dominant perspective of categorization. While cultivating oneself in order to embody certain positive qualities of chakras or sefirot is thoroughly emphasized, emphasis is mostly placed upon how these traits are systematically categorized throughout these models. These specific models can be viewed as a machine much like philosophy, through which thoughts and problems are purified in order to eventually reach enlightenment.
Finally, there is Memetic Taxonomy. Whereas all previous models have had varying levels of categorization of information being done while strongly emphasizing an end goal of creating a single result whether its a perspective, solution, or experience, Memetic Taxonomy would almost entirely, if not entirely, abandon this machine-like function. By categorizing all knowledge into simple, easily understood categories, while displaying this information in a map-like model much like religious models and maps do, people gain the ability to better understand how knowledge connects together. People deal with the complex abstraction of knowledge without having this map, or only ever having an extremely vague, unspoken map in their minds at best.
What if all knowledge could be mapped simply? You collect all the best scholars, have them list the most fundamental lessons and core teachings of each study and culture and philosophy and piece of knowledge, and create different maps accordingly. These maps would be made and remade over and over to better reflect importance and relationships within these different maps of knowledge. Some maps would be merged and others discarded until the ideal Memetic Taxonomy, the ideal categorization of memes into a model, is created.
This map would be electronic, interactive, displayed in a fully interactive virtual reality system. Each time one selects a concept, that concept would expand much like accessing a file within a file folder, revealing more files and information with their own information inside deeper related categories. Everything would be connected and conveyed with up-to-date 3D models and audio. Through this, one could gain a better understanding of the nature of how all knowledge connects together.
I have a hunch that religious models and maps have been vaguely touching upon this lack of a map of knowledge that people so desperately need in order to understand how all knowledge connects together. Philosophies organize knowledge with an end-goal in mind, religious philosophies do the same thing but to a lesser degree, religious models do the same the least by merely implying one should have an end-goal of enlightenment with the overall goal being embodying categories of symbolism, and Memetic Taxonomy would have one understand and if one so chose, embody all broad categories of knowledge from the esoteric to the exoteric.
In short, we should move away from this reliance on philosophy, religious philosophy, and religious models and instead focus on categorizing all knowledge through Meme Taxonomy both for scholarly reasons of understanding and for religious reasons of maintaining a balance of embodying a little bit of everything in all aspects.
