I feel so strange just reading about the tech that has been invented, the human brain that was evolved… Like… a bunch of atoms floating in space (Earth is in space technically), being self-aware of its configuration in this vast and magnificient universe. So… strange…
Like a sort of “out of body experience”, metaphorically speaking.
Now these weird creatures have magic pocket glass that can talk to another weird creature using radiation and electrons. And also built machines that can observe other planets. Transported a human to another celestial body (moon landing).
(Also I love how the wikipedia article was written in 3rd person, as if the writers themselves arent human lol)
I think I might be having another existential crisis again. 🫠
Sorry if I’m being weird
HP Lovecraft was writing around the time we started to figure out there were multiple galaxies and just how incomprehensibly huge the universe is. Bet he felt the same as you.
