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.)

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.

Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]
