H.P. Lovecraft’s Cosmic Horror: Why It’s Terrifying… and Why It Isn’t

What if the scariest thing about the universe isn’t something that’s coming to get you, but the fact that, that universe, that vast ancient universe, doesn’t care you exist. Not hostile, not evil, just indifferent. That thought terrified the writer H.P. Lovecraft. When he thought about looking out into the cosmos, his terror wasn’t about what could be out there, but how small and meaningless we are in comparison.. “The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear, is fear of the unknown.” But what if Lovecraft was right about the universe, but wrong about how we should feel about it? In this video, we’re going to explore Lovecraft’s philosophy of cosmic horror, why he feared the universe, and why some other thinkers like Albert Camus respond differently, developing the idea of Absurdism.Because maybe being small doesn’t mean being worthless.Maybe meaning isn’t something we find out there, it’s something we create, here. #HPLovecraft #CosmicHorror #lovecraft #cosmicism #absurdism #cthulhu #camus #albertcamus #cthulhumythos #BeAmazingWhatever
