How to Take Over the World
| January 30, 2015 | Posted by Koanic under Uncategorized |
In previous posts, I’ve outlined a societal design that avoids the cycle of empire, solves the problems of modernity including dysgenics, and provides massive K-selective pressure.
What remains unelaborated is how to move from our current society to the proposed model.
Recently I read the first portion of “Blood Brotherhood”, by the author of “The Way of Men,” Jack Donovan. For a long time, I’ve meditated on the various factors behind the failure of the previous iterations of the Neanderhall.…
Contact management system complete

Normal people irritate me. Through meditation and innate commitment, I’m able to work as long as I can stand. When my brain and legs turn to jello, things get dicier, but often I can crank out pseudowork even then.
The sheeple are, of course, clueless. It’s those with half a clue whom I sometimes find incomprehensible. I see them, able-bodied, consuming entertainment, wasting time. Are they not aware there’s a war? Why are they watching black men in tights give each other brain damage when the fate of the West hangs in the balance?…
Free One Male Slave, Get Arrested Twice – Reason #947 Not to Marry
| December 26, 2014 | Posted by Koanic under Uncategorized |
Frank is an idiot; Frank is married.
I met him at our expat church, a talkative shabby 50-something Texan sporting a broken wrist.
“She pushed me down the stairs,” he said. “But I forgive her.”
A lifelong loser, he met Abby on Lovelinks. After much Skyping, they were hitched, and he moved to her tier-2 Chinese city. He had no financial resources, few allies back home, and no Chinese language skills.
Frank’s pushy non-stop blathering is an economic asset in China, and he was quickly earning as an English teacher.…
The Zen of Samson
| December 26, 2014 | Posted by Koanic under Uncategorized |
The previous post on Samson is yet another totally decontextualized bizarre statement from yours truly. As we’ve established, I prefer them that way; they seem to have more integrity.
So, to put it in context.
Combine a Churchian upbringing with a deepsocket integrity drive, and you get a man constitutionally incapable of hoisting the black flag. Sure, the special case of holy war is possible, but otherwise responses are limited to a range between gamma and high beta, depending on environment.…
Merry Outlaw Christmas
| December 24, 2014 | Posted by Koanic under Uncategorized |
On the day the Silent Planet burst into song, let us count our blessings.
In our marriage beds, we find ourselves cuckolded by daddy State, who woos our wives to rebellion. He owns our daughters, and forbids their transfer to the inalienable stewardship of any husband – for they are his vote-tricks, and he is their pimp.
In our churches, we find that shabbiest of idols, the leaden Rabbit – its feet of mixed clay and dung, an image of the basest qualities of man.…
Let’s Get High and Prove that Ghosts Exist
| December 22, 2014 | Posted by Koanic under 1 philosophy |
If you bear me any goodwill, I need your criticism of my philosophical magnum opus: Let’s Get High and Prove that Ghosts Exist”.
It’s intended to be accessible and interesting to the average high schooler. In other words, I’m weaponizing the meme. You tell me whether I succeeded.
I live in mortal fear that everyone will tell me to lose the long Milton quote… sigh.
Feel free also to advise me on how best to propagate this thing.…
¿ Housekeeping ?
| December 12, 2014 | Posted by Koanic under Uncategorized |
To clarify: the title is both racially and culturally insensitive.
I am well, as in largely unafflicted by IBS episodes, consistently scoring personal bests on reaction speed, and happy and socially functional. Thus the long-promised refactoring is underway. It begins with Cyborganize resorting of my longform loops, which paradoxically means less content here. I have split off the proof of the supernatural to its own pair of sites:
potandphilosophy.com/t25
destroyingtheonering.com/t25
At the moment, the former has a smidgen of new content, and the latter is all old stuff.…
Thal required reading: The Cycle of Arawn
| December 4, 2014 | Posted by Koanic under Uncategorized |
I just finished reading the Cycle of Arawn. It’s totally awesome. And remarkable, in that the author provides a fully fleshed portrait/critique of the Neandethal, in his tribal Norren race. I don’t think there’s any way he could’ve done this without being some kind of Edenist.
The series is dark, wry, intelligent, of epic length, and took 7 years to write – just the way I like them. The author appears to understand both the ingenopathic and psychopathic sides of the coin, which is admirable.…
Spartano-Capitalism
| November 17, 2014 | Posted by Koanic under Uncategorized |
The near-unanimous rejection of my Iron Coin Neo-Sparta state proposal is unsurprising and to some extent a source of pride at the rhetorical level, but disappointing at the dialectical level. The theory proceeds in a logically necessary chain. Why don’t you tell me with which step you disagree?
1. We should design a state that can succeed (golden age of empire) without devolving into putrescent decay (decadent/decline phase). (John Glubb)
1a. The Spartan state is the only exception to Glubb’s 250-300 year limit, and thus correct the starting point.…
The Iron Coin as Currency
| November 10, 2014 | Posted by Koanic under Uncategorized |
Sparta is the only state to beat Glubb’s cycle of history lifespan limit on empire. The Spartans avoided corruption by various Draconian (Lycurgan, really) measures, including the use of iron for currency. While this is not feasible in a modern economy, the idea is adaptable.
My system calls for two representative political bodies, the house of blood and the house of gold. But perhaps the name of the former should be changed to the house of iron.…
What 4th Generation War Teaches Us About the Ideal State
| November 9, 2014 | Posted by Koanic under Uncategorized |
Thanks to Vox, I have been reading John Lind’s writings on 3rd and 4th generation war.
Man is a killer ape, his evolution spurred by tribal war long after the megafauna went extinct. Better at war is not necessarily better, and this evolutionary impetus explains the sapiens mess. Nevertheless, since war is the acme of man, war strategy is the acme of strategy. All life is war, because the last remaining constraint is human. And man finds fulfillment of his nature in it, because that is what we evolved to be.…
Some productivity koans and tactics
| November 9, 2014 | Posted by Koanic under Uncategorized |
I work on a TR-1200 DT5 Lifespan treadmill now. This greatly improved my productivity, but I still had some issues.
I have a dual monitor setup and use Cyborganize. However, I was still experiencing mental friction. It turns out that there is a friction inherent in screens. When I added a large paper notebook to my productivity setup, this friction went away. It seems that not only do the feet need to move forward, the hands do as well.…
The engine of dreams
| November 9, 2014 | Posted by Koanic under Uncategorized |
The most central part of the koans is the core, the always-on permanent steady state. It must be adaptive for both social and solo work. It must express the heart congruently with the full range of affect. It must silence maladaptive discursive thought without clouding the mind. It must inspire and motivate without disconnecting from reality.
My solution is “Faith Tongues [heart symbol] Dreams”.
Working backwards, Dreams stands for visualizing my dreams of advancing the Kingdom of God.…
To judge or not to judge?
| November 8, 2014 | Posted by Koanic under Uncategorized |
The Bible says “Judge not,” and “Judge them by their fruits.” Popular, PUA and self-help culture are similarly confused. Are we to possess sound judgment, yet not exercise it? Such schizophrenia is not feasible – it is not even coherent.
Rather than throw out tested, time-honored tradition like a filthy liberal, let us correct our theory to reflect the facts. There are multiple levels of judgments, not one. Spiritual judgment occupies the highest moral valence. Intellectual judgment concerns probabilities and analysis.…
Take up thy laptop and walk!
| October 20, 2014 | Posted by Koanic under Uncategorized |
Turns out the Chinese cigarette brand I was smoking was also functionally poisonous. Zhongnanhai 8’s. Dunno if they have any additives; internet research implied not, for Chinese cigarettes in general. But they do quite a bit of treatment and processing on the tobacco, and there’s a filter, so that could be enough.
In any case, the evidence was clear. I switched to handrolls and lotsa problems went away, including poor quality sleep. So that explains a lot, because my attempts to work were always linked to heavy cigarette consumption.…
Chickity China, the Chinese Chicken
| October 13, 2014 | Posted by Koanic under Uncategorized |
It’s not just fatigue I’ve been dealing with. The gut is the center of the immune system. An irritant passes through and filters into the bloodstream, kicking off the immune response. It’s a full body event that’s like a low temperature fire. All systems are affected.
It was the damn Chinese chicken. They’ve got that nightmare cocktail of random drugs only a psychopath would put into food, plus the usual horrid CAFO meat product. No organic out here.…

I have misunderstood the purpose of koans. They are an evolving, self building set of psychological rails that grow with the process of maturation.
I need a single KPI that captures absolute success or failure. The accurate metric is God’s accounting system, as described in Jesus’ parables of the talents.
Cyborganize is missing the tactical time execution component. That piece is already done by Cal Newport in his book, How to be a Straight A Student.…

Problems in koan design
| September 19, 2014 | Posted by Koanic under Uncategorized |
So, my two tests for koan design are the following:
1. Work despite fatigue
2. Cold approach
These represent peak difficulty for conscientiousness and social adaptation respectively.
Interestingly, focus/conscientiousness and social adaptation are inversely correlated. I am naturally good at working with laser focus, because my brain architecture relies heavily on filtering, abstraction and barriers. I am naturally bad at extrovert socializing, for the same reasons.
Likewise, a koan that produces intensely focused work is likely to bomb socially, and a fuzzy feel-good koan that works socially is likely to ruin discipline when working alone.…
The Way’s Sacrifice
| September 11, 2014 | Posted by Koanic under Uncategorized |
I’ve dithered on naming conventions. A koan is by definition a word or set of words. My primary meditation now is wordless. Koans are just secondary triggers to maximize meditation uptime. I think I’ll call the wordless meditation the Way.
In a previous post I wondered what exactly doing the Way all the time sacrificed. It was unclear because I hadn’t tested it in a non-suffering state. Now that I have more abundant energy, the sacrifice becomes clear.…
