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 ?

1. 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.

2. 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 ?

3. Consciousness is composed of perceptions and a perceiver.

A bit contentious, and not a very rigorous definition.

4. 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".

5. 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.

6. Therefore, your consciousness undeniably exists, but it is not material.

Again does it exist untethered from the material ?

7. 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.

8. 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?

This website and timecube are things I wish I saved.
