Miscellaneous
I discuss the psychological phenomenon of projection, when we see things outside us that are really happening within. It opens up traumatic self-questioning, to which I compare the Lovecraftian figure of the Eldritch abomination. Both these themes figure in my discussion of Donald Trump as eldritch horror, forcing us to confront the changing and weirding times in which we live. All this opens us up to cosmological projection in the theory of the holographic universe, and the Hindu concepts of Lila and Maya. In these ways of thinking, the whole universe is a projection. "You're projecting" is never quite so simple...
