just think about the absolute hopelessness conveyed in lovecraft's strange and dismissive sounding opinion of 'the nazis were too optimistic'

he feared things that reminded him of the flawed beast, which is why he initially feared other races and thought they were animalistic; his stories are often about a universe twisted by blind evil animalistic natures and inclinations

his heart changed over time to the opinion that it is the learned culture of the person that matters rather than their genetics as he saw his errors

'The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.' (shows inclination towards (super)natural risk minimisation)

'If religion were true, its followers would not try to bludgeon their young into an artificial conformity; but would merely insist on their unbending quest for truth, irrespective of artificial backgrounds or practical consequences.'
(he seems to hint at a form of religion which follows the truth, a sort of 'gnosis'-centered religion)

'Ocean is more ancient than the mountains, and freighted with the memories and the dreams of Time.' (note that water is a symbol for archetypal Chaos, and Chaos itself stems from the irrationality of the material universe and its conjurings over time; as time is also the thing that elaborates reasonings in the imperishable realm into horrors)

'It is a mistake to fancy that horror is associated inextricably with darkness, silence, and solitude.' (fear of the truth being malevolent and ill in nature; fear of others as being evil)

to be continued...

That's a good perspective but time travel is basically sorta teleporting yourself or your atoms i should say in an enclosed bubble, back at a different time constant if you will. So back a year or whatever.


I don't think lovecraft is 100% hopeless, the humans in the dreamlands are stronger compared to the rulers of it since they are preoccupied with having that world made.
