Prequel and Sequel to “Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality”, bridging first into a medieval setting in which the magic system works like incremental programming and then into the present day, in which it works like logical programming. Philosophically, the medieval setting is post-modernism and the present day is analytic philosophy, while HPATMOR is enlightenment rationalism. It’s a bit like a digital Alice in wonderland.
Agreed, but Lovecraft is at least as problematical.
Oh gods yes. His shadow looms large over the mythos. Thankfully there’s been stuff like Winter Tide, but we also don’t have HPL doing interviews for the papers or on TV - we can reckon with who he was. She keeps making it more problematic.
After reading his later letters I strongly disagree. He was a paranoid xenophobe but he’s nowhere as malicious.
