RE: True Detective And The Psychosphere Of Aluminum And Ash
This was a great show! I've only watched it once so I appreciate you pointing out the little details that I missed.
I actually discovered True Detective when I was reading a review of the horror writer Thomas Ligotti. A lot of Rust's personal philosophy comes from Ligotti's writings as well - so much so that the writers have even been accused of plagiarism.
Ligotti's also written some philosophy. His Conspiracy Against The Human Race is one of the darkest books out there. Fascinating, if hard to recommend.
I tried reading it, but couldn't do it. With Rust, I can see the beauty of this way of thinking because I can see it as a part of his psychological makeup, and not necessarily "the truth". With Conspiracy Against The Human Race, I had no such help:)
I might have another run at it, though:)
