While they may not have originally coined the term, Conspirituality uses a great phrase in their podcast, Quantum Woo. It refers to the tendency for modern spiritual grifters to use quantum mechanics as a catch-all "scientific" explanation for whatever unfounded belief they are trying to promote.
While metaculture really seems like the kind of "science meets spirituality" philosophy that is typically chock full of quantum woo, you will find no such thing here.
The observable effects of quantum mechanics are irrefutable. The myriad conclusions that people draw from it, from the multiverse to free will to Simulation Theory, are quantum woo and should not be considered when attempting to determine what the nature of reality is, or at least the part that matters to your life choices.
