This week for Halloween we are covering "The Shadow over Innsmouth" by H.P. Lovecraft. We get into Lovecraft's troubling history of racism, showing how it works as a manifestation of the anxieties of white supremacist ideology. We also discuss the work of Mark Fisher, who has looked into Lovecraft's deployment of "the Weird." Lastly we consider Lovecraft's role in popularizing (inventing?) the idea that life on Earth was seeded by a mysterious race of "ancient aliens."
To open the episode we talk about the shadow over the NBA in the form of the newly surfaced betting scandal, and go over the ways that the rise of legalized gambling stands as another sign of our society's rapid decline into a rent-seeking, extraction exercise for the ultra wealthy at the expense of the poorest among us.
