			[[Optimism]] is a perspective that you can choose to take, and has no bearing on how accurately your mental model of [[reality]] truly is.

			Cynicism is bad for you, and usually underestimates the [[altruism]] that others will naturally show.

			[[metaculture]] is fundamentally an [[optimistic]] view of [[reality]], [[religion]], the [[universe]], human nature, [[politics]], and everything else. It leverages the [[psychology]] behind the omnibenevolent [[god concept]] to help reinforce our ability to see the good in all things, [[Persuasion\|approach people cooperatively]], embrace the [[universal in-group]], and create an [[Inspiration\|inspirational]] vision of our [[history]], [[traditions]], [[progress]] so far, and a [[Self-correcting\|constantly improving]] [[future]].
