The necessity of woo

 


After watching a serious science documentary arguing that a certain Charles R Darwin was (of course) right, I decided to take a deep plunge into the strange but wonderful world of Thomas Sheridan, the Irish Typhonic occultist. 

The Second Religiosity is upon us, and so is the dark flood of "woo", something Sheridan considers necessary to re-enchant the world. H P Lovecraft and H R Giger are mentioned in this relatively short presentation. 

Sheridan speculates that many fossils are really pieces of ancient machines (think xenomorphs or trans-humanism) and that horseshoe crabs are something similar. Maybe a civilization in the incredibly distant past intelligently designed some of these creatures? 

Somehow, I doubt it, and if you know your Lovecraft by heart, you´ll be careful what you wish for...for what if THEY actually *do* "re-enchant" the world?

The atheist-materialist universe does feel more safe...
