Rearchetyping: Ukraine’s Next Battle
Now, when I look back at the millions of words I have written on Disinfolklore in Disinfolklore, Decoding Trolls and in my Power of Mana publication since I established them in February 2023, I notice a theme (temnik) running through them. I am consciously setting out to disrupt, alter and reconstruct our existing mental models of phenomena in our information space.
The Wall Street Journal is correct to highlight that Ancient Ukraine’s Yamna community spread its genes into more than half of living humans today. Along with genes, however, also came ALL today’s living Indo-European languages.
After Ukraine wins the war (i.e. expels Russia from 100% of Ukraine; gets its kidnapped children back and has a lien on Russian assets commensurate with the damage wrought by Russia’s war), we need to continue fighting to re-centre contemporary and Ancient Ukraine in the mental models of humanity.
Let’s re-centre Ukraine, and transform our mental models accordingly. Let’s re-populate the mental Archetype of “Ukraine.” Let’s perceive Ukraine as the Trito-like entity it is.

Tool 1 completes itself. Archetypal literacy is not only defensive — detecting manipulation — but offensive: conscious rearchetyping. After Ukraine wins, the next battle is to re-centre Ancient Ukraine as the birthplace of all Indo-European languages, cultures, and religions. The Yamna community spread its genes into half of living humans. Rearchetyping means transforming the mental archetype of Ukraine from ‘weak basket case’ to ‘Trito-like entity.’ This passage bridges Disinfolklore (the analytical method) to Finding Manuland (the foundational research). See Rearchetyping and Finding Manuland.
