Metaculture

Maybe 3 or 4 original thoughts in this whole thing

To be perfectly clear, all references to metaculture refer to whatever work eventually captures the emergent synthesis of secular spirituality and fulfills the goals described on the Main Page. It does not apply to this specific project, unless it happens to do so sometime in the future.

The authors are fully aware of the realistic probability of this project being the one that tips the scale, when so many millions of others are working towards similar goals. Nonetheless, it still needs to be done, and the wiki format provides a platform for open-source philosophy that no other authors or organizations have tried yet.

This is an attempt to describe an emergent meta-belief system encompassing many parallel efforts and commonly held ideas. It is what many people already believe, though no existing scripture or doctrine describes it accurately. How could they if many of the key concepts (like fractal geometry and evolutionary psychology) are just a few decades old?

To reinforce this notion, metaculture is referred to in the lower case, since it is a descriptive term rather than a name. Other than the title of this page, which is capitalized automatically by Wikipedia.

Within the realm of philosophy, Metamodernism, Poetic Naturalism and Meta-Naturalism, and Poetic Realism come the closet to describing this emergent perspective. There are also many authors, podcasts, and organizations that promote these values and ideas. However, there is no single work that brings together all of the key concepts that are necessary to understand it, and gives useful advice based on its conclusions. The wiki format is especially suited to this task.
