Manipulate Literally Shakes Mana

Disinfolklore is also different from previous forms of disinformation and misinformation, because immanent in Disinfolklore is the purposeful use of the folklore-borne archetypes of which our main mode of making sense of the world is composed. Once inside our Inner Minds, Disinfolklore manipulates us (literally: ‘pulates’ (shakes) our ‘mana’) which is the well from which, according to Disinfolklore’s analytical framework, all our moods, motivations, attitudes and intentions flow.

The book pitch etymology. “Manipulate” literally means to shake (pulate) our Mana — the well from which all MIMA flows. This is not metaphor; it is the M-N chain at work. Disinfolklore uses folklore-borne archetypes to reach into our Inner Minds and pulate our Mana.
