One thought on “Gnosis Pharmacology: Chapter Three, Page One”
Ah, why I love this website, tube girls & zeppelins, two of my favorite things.., Seriously, loved the lighter than air since I was a kid, (north of 50 now).Built models of the Hindenburg & Graf Zeppelin, Akron & Macon. Dr. Hugo Eckner remains one of my heroes, an engineer, entrepreneur and diplomat, humanist. Have you read a recent book, Dr. Eckner’s Dream Machine, about the world circumnavigation by the Graf Zeppelin in the 1920s? Great book. I’m not sure what place airships would’ve had had in the post WWII world. Like ocean liners and passenger trains, (other cherished favorites), it seemed the world was in too much of a hurry to appreciate the leisurely travel of a Cunard liner, Pullman sleeper or Deutsche Zeppelin Reederei.
And unlike the owner of you antique store, I agree with the sentiment about Europe’s suicide, or maybe it was a game of chicken that got out of hand. As much as I still enjoy reading about WWII and building models, (I still know the differences between a Panther A, G or D tank or the battleship Pennsylvania and her sister ship the Arizona, as I grow older I grow to appreciate the asinine brutality unleased that destroyed so very many lives and the destruction that deprived humanity of such priceless treasures such as the Amber Room or many of Klimt’s canvas’s. I know you’re a kindred lover H.P. Lovecraft, a writer of horror fiction, but you read of Stalin, Himmler, even today with ISIS, hell-bent on destroying their civilization’s culture & people, you wonder if Nyarlathotep is really out there, helping humanity race itself into the abyss. BTW, just finished The Rhesus Chart by Charles Stross. Have you ever read any of his Laundry Files series of books, I think you’d enjoy them.
Enough gloom! Drop ballast, release lines and Up Ship! To the next installment of your website.
