Most philosophy seems to be centered on one of 2 things: survival or self-actualization. Almost all non-religious philosophy is centered on the latter. Darwinism (as a philosophy) and existentialism are the only major philosophies of survival that I can think of. Any others?

this is a bit woo-ey but – in a way literal suicide strikes me as an unimaginative sort of death, and there are more imaginative, even somewhat fun** ways to die while alive. maybe think of it as "to tune in or to tune out". lots of people are tuned out

Cool, now we've gotten these definitions straight. To return to the original question (vis a vis Jaynes), most philosophy is about self-actualization because the philosophical meta-paradigm is a set of religious practices, and you've just described the existentialist practice.
