I've been saying that our understanding of climate change is basically the Eldritch truth of our time, and I think HP Lovecraft absolutely nailed what people's reaction to that would be. I think Lovecraftian cosmic horror has at once never been so relevant, nor so redundant.

As expected of Alan Moore, creative, original, and completely mad.

Will is hands down one of the best interviewers in the business. That was one hell of an on-ramp to help Moore to engage at one hell of a pleasantly granular level.

Dude i had no idea you guys scored an interview with Alan Moore. And the hawkmoor church story. Jesus its frightening.

You can hear Moore's beard when he talks it's funny

Alan Moore's rhetoric is at least as coherent and likely far more coherent than any argument that capitalism is the "natural state" of human organization.

This was the Alan Moore I was thinking of, but not expecting. I love it.

This is a crowning achievement in the podcast medium.

There's some Adorno in here in the way Moore talks about the transition of culture through the renaissance that I like quite a lot.

Personally I find predeterminism comforting and empowering, but the idea of having to experience my life over and over ad infinitum absolutely horrifying like nothing else. Anyways always good to hear from Moore.

@jesse1617

I'm curious, how is it that you find it empowering? I would assume the opposite, seeing that it would entail that every occurence in your life would be something that happens to you rather than something that YOU make happen. I think that predeterminism does away with CHOICE, or the POWER of choice-----the power to affect the world around you. Wouldn't you agree?

@@jesse1617: The fact that in any given situation there is only one choice I would ultimatly make keeps me from being consumed by the what-ifs, and empower me to actually do something rather then going for the safer option (like doing nothing or just going along with the people around me), that would mean my "choices" would have less effect on the world around me, becouse I'm too scared of making the wrong choice.

Wow thanks for the existential crisis

I did a double take on that title. Awesome.

I see Alan Moore, I click. Great interview. I really wish Moore hadn’t left the main stream.

Wow! I had assumed it was a different Alan Moore.

Hawksmoor is a great novel. I hadn't known it tied-in to From Helll, or that Nicholas Hawksmoor was a historical personage. Moore's description of the crypt was very creepy, similar to what is depicted in the film As Above, So Below.

Alan Moore is a living legend

I am definitely buying Jerusalem now, great interview Bois!

"The greatest weight.-- What, if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: "This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more; and there will be nothing new in it, but every pain and every joy and every thought and sigh and everything unutterably small or great in your life will have to return to you, all in the same succession and sequence - even this spider and this moonlight between the trees, and even this moment and I myself. The eternal hourglass of existence is turned upside down again and again, and you with it, speck of dust!" Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus?... Or how well disposed would you have to become to yourself and to life to crave nothing more fervently than this ultimate eternal confirmation and seal? " Nietzsche - The Gay Science

Fascinating person

magic always includes some kind of transformation which is why i think comedians who turn tragedy into comedy are of shamanic origin.
