Collapse IV

[nomadthethird]

This one is about horror. An interesting topic, and I like the Negarestani and Ligotti pieces.

But there are some strange statements in the first article about genetics. I can't quite decipher this:



Erm which recessive traits? What?

It's all that stuff about the recessive gene and things

I've never been totally clear on genetics though but that's what they're talking about in that Collapse I think. All of the Nation of Gods and Earths used to go on about it alot.

I figured they were talking about blond hair and blue eyes, but the ancient Aryans would not have had those. Neither would have ancient Indo-Europeans probably, right?

Anyway, the sentence, I just can't make sense of it. Maybe I'm just trying to read too much into it.

Don't tell anyone but I've a sneaking suspicion that the writer doesn't know what they're saying in that sentence either.

Corpse Bride -

I've read - albeit not in one sitting Reza Negarestanis 'Corpse Bride'

I kinda lost him in the last 4 or 5 pages. I understood the 1st necrosis, the 2nd necrosis as operating in a similar fashion ( but not the exact in and outs ( -'s & +'s ) and to the point whereby necroses 1 & 2 entangle as vectors and collide..... and thats where things got a lil blurry for me.

Could any one help me out and put me right or be willing to discuss these ideas - especially the 3 sets of 3 with regard to the bodies.....
