Weird Studies/Alien
01 Jul 2026 - 02 Jul 2026
- Disenchantment as a myth.
- Explanations don't exist (or at least, are square and nerdy)
- Fight between meaning and meainglessness. Alien as embodiment of nihilism?
- The hellishness of the alien. It is pretty demonic, not motivated by hunger etc.
- Alien, predatory capitalism, nihilism all linked.
- Something about crabs (carcinisation!)
- Humans as organelles of the corporation. Space Jockey as embodiment of extractive ethos.
- Cain (first char to get et)
- Grendel as Alien.
