Koanic Soul was a website on the virtues of craniomentry that was popular in early-2010s neoreactionary discourse. It told of how modern humanity is a mix of Cro-Magnon, Neanderthal and Melonhead. Each has different intellects and personality types. And you can tell by just looking at them.
We lost so much (that was well worth losing) when Koanic Soul closed in 2015-ish. Amazing new slurs for unworthy skull shapes (“snake-melon”) that you just don’t hear any more.
Anyway, it turns out there are traces still remaining in rssing.com. This is just page 7 of several.
The main site was rambling delusional blog posts - the above link is just some of the RSS feed for the blogs - and a forum filled with our very good friends.
Here’s a contemporary review from r/badscience.
(There is a current substack and a current youtube of the same name which are unrelated.)
The 100% mathematical PROVABLY_CORRECT proof of existence of the supernatural is at least funny.
It fails to prove dualism, which it then calls the supernatural for no adequately explained reason:
There is nothing new under the sun. Nothing a 3-lb-brain hominid does is impressive. Everyone dies and leaves behind nothing. If no God exists, all is infinitely meaningless. Fortunately, we can prove with mathematical certainty that the supernatural exists:
Would a 5-lb-brain hominid bring new things under the sun ? How about a 15-ton-brain corvid ? How about an acausal robot god wrought from all the ditherings found across the net ? If it is still so why are you so concerned with phrenology ?
- You cannot be deceived that you are conscious.
So far so good, not too contentious, you need consciousness to be deceived, though I will note that it doesn’t prove consciousness, only use definitions tautologically.
- Consciousness, in itself, contains only that which you aware of.
No ? Not necessarily, that’s overly egocentric. What about the Id ? What about collective consciousness ?
- Consciousness is composed of perceptions and a perceiver.
A bit contentious, and not a very rigorous definition.
- Perceptions are not composed of material things. Red is not a spectrum of light, nor a retinal activation, nor an optical nerve signal, nor a biochemical process in your brain: it is only the experience the perceiver calls “red”.
Qualia != Perceptions, but this is not the worst sin in this “proof”.
- The perceiver is not composed of material things. Neither quarks, nor atoms, nor molecules, nor cells, nor organs of the brain, nor the brain > itself experiences red. Associated processes happen, but only the perceiver experience red. To say that a material object “perceives” anything is a category error.
Does a perceiver without a body even exist ? I’m not really a monist myself, but this is clearly a leap.
- Therefore, your consciousness undeniably exists, but it is not material.
Again does it exist untethered from the material ?
- That which exists, yet is not material, is supernatural.
Hum no ? At best preternatural, and even then if you think the natural world follows Dualism, then the spiritual is still natural. I mean yes this arguing about definitions, but by god is this silly.
- The supernatural exists.
QED.
During downtime, I watched Life Below Zero, skipping the Sue and Glenn parts and focusing on the Thallish (widespace) Erik Salitan. Work should be as close as possible to Erik’s lifestyle of hunting, perhaps minus the isolation. That is what man is meant to do – hunt and recreate. Agriculture ruined everything – see Cain and Abel, or medieval aristocrats vs. peasants, or the aspirations of the modern location independent vs. cubicle farmers.
How to simulate? A treadmill desk helps quite a bit.
all I’m meant to do is hunt and fuck so I’m running on this treadmill while I look at hentai in order to become the superior man
Or did I just say something so true, you can’t even process it? Just put that in the back of your mind, forget all about it, and let it eat at you like a tumor. Then one day, when you’re an old man and your life is done, you’ll look back and suddenly realize that it was all a lie.
Hat tip to 4chan for the interrupt. Check out their Twitch raids on Youtube. I masturbate to this.
this has to be an amphetamine spiral, right?
as you know, in the early 2010s, the neoreactionaries were fresh out of moldbug school and were certain the path forward to the monarchy of King Steve was insufferable blogging by the megaword.
there should be a lot more remaining usage of this shit straight from Even More Racist Time Cube. there’s like one mention on David Aurini’s rationalwiki page from a now–taken-down video.
I really want to know why a lot of this got deleted — these folks don’t really have a sense of shame, so I’m assuming it’s mostly employers finding it, or big neoreactionary donors like Thiel telling them to put the mask back on
maybe it’s google being shit or the blogs going down, i doubt it’s a directive of any sort
Paranoia got more rampant as the years went on.
This website and timecube are things I wish I saved.
so i just looked and there’s a fuckin’ shitload and i do mean a shit load in the internet archive. would need curation to find the very best bits, which I have 0 intention of bothering to do
Iirc matt forney believed he was a Starchild or some shit
