Antidote to the Metaverse T-Shirt
Do you need an Antidote to the Metaverse?
We’ve just launched our newest t-shirt design. It features our “Antidote to the Metaverse” tagline on the chest, a WildFed badge on the sleeve, and two tarot-style cards juxtaposed on the back, one modeled on the tarot card known as the Fool — who is wearing an oculus and absent-mindedly walking off the roof of a building with a bag of fast food in one hand and a cell phone in the other. Next to it is a card based on the Magician, who is juggling four implements — a fishing rod, a rifle, a trap, and a foraging basket.
It represents our belief that a life that includes the outdoors inoculates you against believing that an artificial experience of life can replace a natural one.
You see, for us, being WildFed — hunting, fishing, and foraging — is about a lot more than just getting our groceries. It’s an Antidote to the Metaverse. An act of rebellion against the transhuman agenda that is leading humanity to abandon that natural world in favor of wearing screens over their eyes to live in virtual world. We choose the natural over the artificial, we choose an antidote to the metaverse. We choose to be fed by the wild.
