Somehow electronic money uses more resources

Like all fun things, money is great in moderation but can easily become addictive when consumed in excess.

Since metaculture asks for no money, if it fails to deliver you will leave with what you came with. Can the other belief system peddlers (like JP and JC) say that?

metaculture is morally concerned with the proliferation of grift, especially in spiritual spaces (aka Conspirituality).Sponsorship and product promotion will be avoided to ensure metaculture remains above reproach.

Whereas other spiritual movements try to sell you solutions to your problems in the form of supplements and seminars, metaculture encourages you to buy nothing and find healing within yourself. While not anti-capitalist, metaculture encourages money moderation and a focus on Gross National Happiness over GDP.

When the time comes that we must inevitably enter the supplements game to earn income, they will be Honest Placebos.
