From Fakelore to Makelore (Fixing a Stolen Term)

Fakelore refers to invent folklore, but in a way that presumes that inventing folklore is somehow unusual or spurious. Makelore is the same idea, but understands that all folklore is invented and serves a social cultural purpose and created.

Makelore is incredibly important to memory and story and we should build our own personal and shared makelore in order to remember the stories that tell us who we are and who we want to be.

Old Word Repurposed: Warrior

Warrior is an ambiguous term to most people.
But then so is adult. People become adults by trudging through time one second at a time, and accumulate additional privileges through no achievement or effort in most cases (earning a driver's license and graduating high school are the most arduous things that people must do to acquire the traditional trappings of adulthood).
You can become an adult in the modern world so easily that term is meaningless. Warrior is something that you become by doing something. Like being an athlete or a writer or a scientist or a scholar; being a warrior implies a doing in the word itself. If you claim to be an athlete, but look like Homer Simpson people will rightly question your claim. But to claim to be an adult, one need merely get older and have a piece of ID if you wish to enter a bar.
We use Warrior not to mean one who is violent, but one who is ready to face the world: capable of critical thought, able to be self-sufficient, and able to defend their self against opposing forces.

New Term: Year Zero

Year Zero is the time and process of becoming intersufficient. Named after the tradition in DC Comics of giving heroes a new back story by writing retrospective revisionist origin stories (retcons) and titling them 'Year One'; most famously 'Batman: Year One' by Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli. Grant Morrison pitched a reboot effort for the Batman movie franchise after the disaster that was 'Batman and Robin', by proposing a Batman origin story called 'Batman: Year Zero' that would focus on how Bruce Wayne became Batman rather than his early time as Batman. The title has recently been coopted for a new Batman story arc with similar aims.

And so with this pedigree, we coopt the idea of Year Zero as the period of becoming who we were meant to be, the period in which we become the heroes that the world needs.

It is tempting to use Matrix inspired terminology like the 'red pill', however simply waking up to what must be done is only a very small part. Bruce Wayne's training and discovery process that is inherent in the term Year Zero is far more accurate and more empowering.

Stolen Word: Resillionaire

A Resillionaire: and individual with the ability to rebound despite the stress and adversity. This is something that we should all seek to be. But our willpower, our internal Mana, is a fungible and finite resource that we must manage in order to do this. In order to be able to remain resilient in times of adversity, we need to be confident in our abilities- to assess the chaotic world around us causing our adversity, to provide for ourselves despite the adversity without skillset, and the protect ourselves from those people who would take advantage of the adversity to take from others less able.

To be a resillionaire, you have to build up your internal assets rather than your financial assets.

New Word: Intersufficiency

Intersufficiency or intersufficient is a word built from the words interdependeny and self-sufficient. The word means to be self sufficient in order to be part of a healthy interdependent group. The premise is that you cannot contribute properly to the group and the group cannot function in a healthy manner unless all members are able to contribute sufficiently to make everyone feel as though the arrangement is fair. Intersufficiency can be seen a trait of both a group and an individual. An interusfficient group is one where the members are all self-sufficient enough without the group that all members are able to contribute without coercion. An intersufficient individual is one who is able to provide for themselves, but who is also able to apply those self-sufficiency skills for the benefit of the group.
