The Six Perfections

For the Code, I have adapted the six perfections which billions of Mahayana Buddhist practitioners have used for millennia to help them act only for the benefit of all sentient beings (see Oxford University Press’s 2009 book on the Six Perfections).

Our lives and our minds move so fast. Any fact-checking service that we might use to determine the rightness, truth or falsehoods immanent in any particular informational unit trolling our emotions may require us to go to a website or research in a library. This is not Good Enough. It’s too slow. By the time we get that our Mana / energy has been hacked by a Negative Troll’s emotion-moving activity, it might be too late. We might have risen to the bait. We need a system / mental algorithm that helps us make immediate (albeit provisional) assessments but also reliable assays of the quality of the thousands of informational units (trolls) we encounter every single day of our lives.

The criteria in The Six Perfections have been tested for millennia. The Code adapts them for information warfare because fact-checking is too slow. By the time you verify a claim, the meme has already altered your Mana. The Code gives you a real-time mental algorithm — “Good Enough” provisional assessment, immediately, on the fly.
