Hey gang! Can't help but notice the comment section is a little bit on fire. That's all good with me, but one recurring complaint I've noticed has started to get under my skin - namely that my explanation of non-euclidean geometry was insufficient, or even - dare I say - inaccurate. Now this is a fair complaint, because after a lifetime of experience finding that people's eyes glaze over when I talk math at them, I concluded that interrupting a half-hour horror video with a long-winded explanation of a mathematical concept wouldn't go over too well. I put it in layman's terms and used a simple example to illustrate the point. However, since some of the more mathematically-inclined of you took offense, I now present in full a short (but comprehensive) explanation of what exactly non-euclidean geometry is. First, we axiomatically establish euclidean geometry. Euclidean geometry has five axioms: 1. We can draw a straight line between any two points. 2. We can infinitely extend a finite straight line. 3. We can draw a circle with any center and radius. 4. All right angles are equal to one another. 5. If two lines intersect with a third line, and the sum of the inner angles of those intersections is less than 180º, then those two lines must intersect if extended far enough. Axiom #5 is known as the PARALLEL POSTULATE. It has many equivalent statements, including the Triangle Postulate ("the sum of the angles in every triangle is 180º") and Playfair's Axiom ("given a line and a point not on that line, there exists ONE line parallel to the given line that intersects the given point"). Euclidean geometry is, broadly, how geometry works on a flat plane. However, there are geometries where the parallel postulate DOES NOT hold. These geometries are called "non-euclidean geometries". There are, in fact, an infinite number of these geometries, and because the only defining characteristic is "the parallel postulate does not hold", they can be all kinds of crazy shapes. (As you can see, my explanation of "this is just how geometry works on a curved surface" is quite reductive, but at the same time serves to get the general impression across without going into too much detail.) An example of a non-euclidean geometry is "Elliptic geometry", geometry on n-dimensional ellipses, which includes "Spherical geometry" as a subset. Spherical geometry is, predictably enough, how geometry works on the two-dimensional surface of a three-dimensional sphere. In spherical geometry, "points" are defined the same as in euclidean geometry, but "line" is redefined to be "the shortest distance between two points over the surface of the sphere", since there is no such thing as a "straight line" on a curved surface. All "lines" in spherical geometry are segments of "great circles" (which is defined as the set of points that exist at the intersection between the sphere and a plane passing through the center of that sphere). The axiom that separates spherical geometry from euclidean geometry and replaces the parallel postulate is "5. There are NO parallel lines". In spherical geometry, every line is a segment of a great circle, and any two great circles intersect at exactly two points. If two lines intersect when extended, they cannot be parallel, and thus there are no parallel lines in spherical geometry. Since the Parallel Postulate is equivalent to Playfair's Axiom, the fact that no parallel lines exist in spherical geometry negates Playfair's Axiom, which thus negates the Parallel Postulate and defines spherical geometry as a non-euclidean geometry. Also, since the Triangle Postulate is another equivalent property to the Parallel Postulate, it is thus negated in spherical geometry. Hence, my use in-video of an example of a triangle drawn on the surface of a sphere whose inner angles sum greater than 180º. Hope that cleared things up (and helped explain why I didn't want to say "see, non-euclidean geometry is just a geometry where Euclid's Parallel Postulate doesn't hold - hold on, let me get the chalkboard to explain what THAT is-" in the video) Peace! -R ✌️

Despite Lovecraft's many, many, many flaws as a person, he did at least give us a story where a generational death curse turns out to be both a hoax and entirely true in the most hilariously petty way ever: In "The Alchemist", the immortal who "cursed" the family to have all their descendants die at the age of 32 is literally doing all the leg-work himself and just straight-up murdering them whenever the one of them hits the right age. No magic is involved in their deaths aside from their murderer's immortality, he's just THAT stubborn.

And now I kind of want to create something in like a low magic rp setting that’s color out of space inspired but with a better grasp on actual real World physics chemistry and biology. The liquid could be a kind of radioactive liquid mercury alloy and once it fell into a well that would be mercury alloy and radiation water table contamination. And the strange color could be a combination of the color of the item itself and the wavelength of radioactive glow it emits maybe it’s a magenta object emitting a yellow green light or even more unnaturally a yellow green substance with a radioactive magenta glow creating a visual of something simultaneously two opposite complimentary colors that can’t mix into one singular color. The reason for choosing magenta on this is because magenta is the mind point on the gap in the visible light spectrum you get when combining near infrared red with near ultraviolet violet making it a color that Literially does not exist in the spectrum but simultaneously would lie in ultraviolet or in infrared but also exists from a certain perspective behind and equal to yellow green. Making the light magenta would really drive home the idea of unnatural light. So if you want a color out of space like object description with a less outlandish foundation here’s my go at one: The impossibly smooth and shiny, yellow green rock bubbled like an animals stomach packed with blood and being boiled from the inside bulging in places. With each second it seemed to shrink ever so slightly, As if evaporating away like a chunk of dry ice but evaporating and melting from the inside evidenced by the occasional bubble of escaping gas rising to the semisolid metallic exterior to pop and the metal surface to heal Itself back into that smooth shiny shell. When cut it acted like a putty that the deeper down it was cut the less putty and more liquid it became. Almost like a sick bastardization of a lava cake. As it slowly boiled away and the occasional bubble rose through the semisolid skin and popped like a bubble yellow green vapor escaped that seemed to emit an unearthly magenta glow creating for instances this unknowable combination of yellowish green vapor and reddish violet light. A sickly impossible green magenta flash that never lingered long enough to truly be comprehended as a proper color that ever existed, one that never could exist and yet it did. The object would basically be some kind or radioactive mercury alloy that fell to earth around the turn of the 20th century. Before we really knew and understood radiation was a bad thing. My vision for hat it is to ruin the mystery I don’t know some piece of an alien space probe similar in nature to our voyager probe maybe like some alien version of a nuclear radioactive mercury like alloy battery? Nothing malevolent just you know the result if one day In the far far future long after the sun as became a stellar corpse voyager ends up just crashing in some redneck alien’s flower garden.

And so the A/C kept on clanking, clanking at my chamber door. The doctor's stank when too close was irritating ever more. That is why I H.P. Lovecraft Brought down the ax upon the dark skinned doctor with a final laugh.

A common theme that Lovecraft had in his writing was that evil fate and sin - in the form of madness, bodily pollution, & mutation - was inheritable and passed down through the bloodline. You see it in texts like "The Shadow Over Innsmouth" and "The Rats in the Walls" - past decadence or excess inevitably leaking down the ages to infect and change the living heir, who becomes just as foul and misbegotten as their ancestors. It's basically Lovecraft admitting through his writing that he lived his whole life in constant fear that he would fall to madness & hysteric fits as his mother had. This also explains his racism - once you assume that the past misdeeds of a person's family shape the person themselves, it is logical to assume that people who are poorer or otherwise don't quite fit in with "high society" must come from bad bloodlines where their ancestors were wicked and deplorable, and that such people, too, will do evil and wrong, because it is in their genetic makeup to act that way. It's actually something that still happens today, with ideas like Prosperity Gospel, and it was how Nazism justified itself. All were "logical/rational" conclusions, but based on a faulty assumption: that the capacity to do good and evil is genetically hardwired.

Also I really appreciate how matter of factly Red always is in her summaries. To many channels talking about literature try to be epic and appropriately weighty in their presentations or when reading quotes, but it's so often way too thick.

No matter what horrible things they are talking about, the most they emote is to be somewhat grim. It's not their job to get outraged at the world. That's the audience's job.

@@Bronasaxon I guess the point is that every single villian in Lovecraft's stories is someone non-English. The more non-English you are the more suspicious you are. However, Lovecraft wasn't a Nazi or even a Dixieland kind of white supremacist, he was really an "English supremacist". I think it is quite important to note that his wife was Jewish, I think he was really very literally xenophobic - afraid of the unknown, not really racist in any other way. I find his racism almost funny - I had a chuckle when I read a story of his where there are three ne'er-do-wells (who end up very badly,basiscally in some sort of soul jars) who are Irish, Polish and Czech - I'm Czech. Obviously he describes how uneducated and primitive these three guys are and how questionable their morals are. Still, I don't think Lovecraft's stories aged badly - the racism is so over-the-top and yet so "innocent" that it doesn't really feel insulting at all, at times it even feels like a parody of racism. And it is not like it is the central part of his stories, the evil tribes from Oceania, black voodoo cultists, degenerate immigrants (white, by modern US standards anyway ... but for Lovecraft even Germans are not really "white" - Prussians perhaps, Bavarians definitely not :-) ) are just a backdrop and could be replaced by anyone else. The stories revolve about unknown and unfathomable evils from the vastness of the universe, not really about racism even though racism definitely is present in most stories.

One massive historical irony: Lovecraft loved Irish people, because he thought they were all descended from Celtic druids and so were all psychic. This was at a time when people were putting up signs saying "No blacks, no dogs, no Irish". Also, he loved Hispanic people. Two of his best bred heroes are Hispanics. He thought they were all descended from Aztecs so were in tune with the whole "dark alien gods" thing.

YES OMG!!! Finally someone else brought this up! I had to put the book down and laugh hysterically for a good twenty minutes when the protagonist nearly pissed himself over a penguin waddling out of the darkness. In a story filled with truly scary and ominous horrors, a *penguin* of all things (granted, a very large penguin) terrifying the narrator is one of the funniest things I’ve ever read. And it’s not just the giant penguins he’s scared of. Earlier in the story he finds regular penguins horrifying and creepy. Which is Lovecraft’s fatal flaw in writing- he assumes that things he finds creepy are inherently creepy to everyone, and therefore doesn’t explain WHY they’re creepy.

Lovecraft's frothing bigotry and agoraphobia becomes a lot more funny if you just think of him as Roaring 20's Sheldon Cooper Loveecraft: I'm writing a story combining the unfathomable horrors of flying through a thunderstorm with the incalculable tedium of having to sit next to a stranger, white or not.

"Horrible Phobias Lovecraft" did it for me

Despite his obviously problematic views (to put it lightly) I really love Lovecraft's stories. I first stumbled across Lovecraft years ago while playing Fallout 3, after exploring the Dunwich Building and immediately taking to the wiki to figure out what in the fresh hell was going on and finding that the location was a tribute to Lovecraftian horror. A few months later I bought a collection of his short stories. Maybe the fact that I first discovered Lovecraft via a videogame set in a nuclear wasteland has coloured my view, but when I read The Color Out of Space I get a strong vibe of radioactive contamination from the descriptions of how the colour effects everything around it.

20:18 For a guy you probably correctly described as agoraphobic, Lovecraft went on a TON of road trips during an era when people were just starting to do that (he's known to have traveled as far south as New Orleans and up into Canada, so he was going pretty far out from RI). And just like the guy in this story he'd travel as cheaply as possible (cheap seats on red-eye-route buses, eating beans out of cans, sleeping at YMCAs) because he was very hilariously just as poor as the working-class and agrarian people he hated so much. You can do the same thing today with Greyhound and Flixbus! And I have!

I really like H.P. Lovecraft's work. Yeah, personally the man didn't have issues (he had editions). But a lot of great artists did; Poe, Van Gogh, etc. However, Lovecraft's influence on modern horror, fantasy, and science fiction is huge. Through all of his faults, both personal and artistic he was still able to be a pioneer in speculative fiction. He has left a legacy that's going on a century now and I appreciate him for that.

Agree! Lovecraft's favourite nested-narrators device can be a challenging read, as it's definitely not in literary fashion these days, but the books still have a pretty solid visceral effect... And I feel like the reason why the foreshadowing can seem a bit obvious is primarily because the mythos created by him & his fans has just so very thoroughly permeated our modern horror and fantasy genres? It's a bit like Tolkien or Dunsany - the work can seem tropey, but that's largely because a lot of today's common tropes are based on borrowings from (or intentional challenges to) that original work.

I've read that Lovecraft was likely born with syphilis transmitted to his mother by his philandering father, which would explain his mother's slow descent as well as his consistent horror around inherited sin and sickness. But I don't think it's confirmed, still an interesting notion. Also I never get over the humor of Cthulhu, god of the old gods, ancient and unknowable nightmare that lurks beneath the waves, whose mere stirring sends artists and thinkers into screaming madness, is overcome by slamming a boat into its face.
