Revision as of 19:27, 28 February 2024
Like all fun things, money is great in moderation but can easily become addictive when consumed in excess.
See Capitalism and Economics for more money stuff.
Information is Free
The metaculture wiki and all related educational content produced for it will always be free and public domain. Anyone is free to copy and remix the wiki pages into articles, books, forum posts, etc. without asking permission. The goal is to spread good ideas, not profit from them.
Opposing Greed and Grift
metaculture is morally concerned with the proliferation of grift, especially in spiritual spaces (aka Conspirituality). There are too many wellness influencers peddling pseudoscientific snake oil and supplements in order to supplement their incomes. Multi-level marketing schemes are a scourge upon the churches and Facebook groups that they prey on.
Honest Fundraising Alternatives
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.
Third party sponsorship and product promotion will be avoided to prevent accusations of bias.
When the time comes that we must inevitably enter the supplements game to earn income, they will be Honest Placebos.
Monetized Videos
Enjoy these videos and earn their creators a little bit of cash.
