Mana Enables Counter-Disinfolklore

While speaking to Silicon Curtain it occurred to me that the Mana of Positive Trolling is Generosity, Ethical Discipline, Patience, Joyous Perseverance, Focus, and Insight.

This means that when we’re assessing linguistic, audible or visual memes, if we determine their Mana / energy conforms with these six constituent elements of the Code of Positive Trolls, then, we know we’re dealing with Counter Disinfolklore.

The bridge between Finding Manuland’s foundational research and Counter-Disinfolklore’s practical application. Mana detection is the perceptual skill that enables Counter-DF. The passage records the moment of insight — “it occurred to me” — when the six criteria from The Six Perfections became the diagnostic criteria. If a meme’s Mana conforms with all six elements of the Code, you know you are dealing with Counter-Disinfolklore. Mana is both the thing detected and the thing created.
