Assay Gold as Buddha Taught

All I can do is reveal the state of the art of how I’m applying the Disinfolklore analytical method. And, like the Buddha, I don’t want you to agree with these judgments because I am making them. I’m hoping that if we all assay the content in our information-space as one assays gold by rubbing, cutting, & melting, we will defeat Ruschism and all those trying to destroy the post-WWII legal order.

The communal and Buddhist dimension of the goldsmith analogy. The author explicitly positions himself NOT as an authority demanding agreement, but as someone revealing “the state of the art” and inviting collective assaying. The Buddhist allusion (the Vimamsaka Sutta, though unnamed) establishes that this is not a Western analytic method imposed on Eastern wisdom — it IS the Eastern method applied to contemporary information warfare. The collective “we” is crucial: Counter-Disinfolklore only works if practised communally.
