@A_P_Mason The connection to Gnon is that Gnon is about cosmos-as-process, but it's a very negative version. Cosmos as devourer.

@A_P_Mason IMO Daoism is the earliest and in many ways clearest take on the same theme.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@A_P_Mason I think there's a sense of betrayal motivating the gleeful nihilism/post-nihilism; cosmos isn't what we wanted, so it's Evil.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@A_P_Mason Depending on whether you want to hold onto a belief in the classical God, it leads either to gnosticism or pure Lovecraft.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@A_P_Mason Either way it's soaked in horrorism. OK, and this is really my core point now ---->1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@A_P_Mason ACTUAL CORE CLAIM: You can appreciate cosmos-as-process without being devoured by horrorism.3 replies 0 retweets 2 likes -

@St_Rev But it turns out you were actually attacking *my* position: gnon is a devourer and is therefore evil.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@A_P_Mason Gnon is a devourer. IMO Gnon is a nihilistically filtered Dao, which devours and creates, which devours *what* it creates.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@A_P_Mason That's not good or evil, that's the universe we live in. It's senseless to moralize about the entire universe.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes
@A_P_Mason But I say that as someone who dislikes 'oughts' as anything but statements of personal aesthetics.
