Internet Odds and Ends for Thursday

The Wall Street Journal has an interesting piece on H. P. Lovecraft in honor of the publication of The New Annotated H. P. Lovecraft, edited by Leslie S. Klinger with a foreword by Alan Moore. I haven’t read Annotated except for the introduction, which I did not find particularly insightful, drawing as it does primarily on Joshi’s work—which, for the trouble of reading a rewrite of Joshi, you might as well read the original. In the article, Klinger and Moore make the unusual case that the power of Lovecraftian fiction derives from Lovecraft’s fear-driven racism. “One need not adopt the racist views of HPL to agree with this conclusion, but we can understand how his sense of being threatened by the world around him led to these deeper feelings,” Klinger said.
Moore made a particularly good comparison between Lovecraft’s fiction and the current wave of anti-science like creationism and the New Age, which are irrational reactions against the discomfort produced by science: “the advances of science upon the certainties of religion would appear to have resulted in an upsurge of anti-scientific fundamentalism that makes Lovecraft’s new Dark Age seem at very least a worrying possibility.”

The piece is worth a read.

Less worthy of a read but nevertheless also interesting is a comment exchange on Amazon.com, where earlier this year Scott Wolter engaged Dr. Bryant Lister in a series of nasty comments over Lister’s review of Wolter’s Akhenaten to the Founding Fathers. Lister’s original review was a fairly typical negative Amazon rant, but it hit Wolter on his most sensitive issue, the one that he recently posted about on his blog, his lack of an advanced degree. “The arrogance of this ‘forensic geologist’ is startling considering his complete lack of credentials and higher education.” Naturally, Wolter couldn’t resist returning fire, and the exchanged continued for months, running from February to July.

I wasn’t aware of this since I don’t make it a habit to read Amazon.com book reviews, but I was shocked at the bitterness and unprofessionalism of Wolter’s responses: “Your comments Mr. Lister, are frankly, pathetic. […] I don’t believe you’ve read either book as you made no reference to anything specific and only made general negative comments that qualify as personal rants.” Lister, however, is no angel and repeatedly insulted Wolter’s intelligence during their exchange.

One of Wolter’s comments was deleted by Amazon, but to judge by Lister’s response, in it Wolter claimed that he took a pay cut to star on America Unearthed and therefore is exempt from the charge that he is promoting conspiracies for money. However, rather than make a reasoned argument, Wolter continued down the path of personal insult: “You’re (sic) mind is so closed you wouldn't know what the Holy Grail was if She bit you in the rear end.” Even in an insult, Wolter reveals his deeply held belief that the Grail is Mary Magdalene herself.

In response to now-deleted comments by another poster that apparently referenced my work evaluating Wolter’s claims, Wolter replied: “Covalito (sic) is a debunker and I do not take him seriously.” The riposte was good enough to quote at length: 
I have no affiliation in any way with Jason Colavito, other than posting a few times on his blog several months back. However, I would clarify what he does by stating that he debunks your theories by supplying missing facts and providing accurate facts to replace your inaccurate and incorrect assertions. So basically, you’re saying that you do not take the facts and the truth seriously. Yes, we've seen that on your show many times.
If I may give Wolter some unsolicited advice: Don’t reply to book reviews. There is no good that can come of it. It only makes an author look vengeful and petty.

But that’s part for the course for Scott Wolter, who steadfastly refuses to recognize that he has a public face that ought to at least try for professionalism. Consider this comment posted on his blog just a few days ago. A commenter used some slightly intemperate language in asking Wolter to “act like” a scientist, and this is how Wolter replied:
…what do you know about being a scientist? Sounds to me like you’re a little too judgmental and probably don't understand the scientific process as well as you think. I’m just saying...
It seems to me that the most popular fringe figures tend to be the ones who put on a sunny face and ignore criticism, but that probably isn’t true. Mike Bara is much ruder and often more insulting, and he also managed to get a TV show. On September 22, for example, Bara called Neil deGrasse Tyson a “science choad,” referring to a derogatory term for a malformed penis.

But Bara and Wolter aren’t the only people lashing out against their critics. So is Kathleen McGowan (a.k.a. Kathleen McGowan-Coppens), who has a beef with a British esoteric author who leveled criticisms against her as well as her hair color. (How would her hair be relevant to anything?) She, too, shares the wit and rhetorical eloquence and elegance of her fringe history peers: “What I am intolerant of are idiots who post stupid crap on my Facebook page.” I don’t care much about her online drama, but as Matt Mc pointed out in comments on one of my earlier blog posts today, McGowan reaffirmed her alleged connection to Mary Magdalene in that same blog post: “I ‘claim to be a descendant of Mary Magdalene.’ - TRUE. I do and I am. Period. Read my books and find out how and why I know this.” Like most fringe writers, she has multiple websites and blogs in different locations; this post was on her Divine Feminine blog, not her main self-titled website. It makes it hard to track.

But there you have it, in her own words. McGowan claims to be of the Holy Bloodline of Jesus, which therefore makes her the perfect subject for Scott Wolter to DNA test and match to all those Native Americans he says share her magic Jesus blood. Fat chance of that ever happening. But she does share red hair with the cannibal Nephilim and vouchsafes that it is her natural color, so call L. A. Marzulli!

This final bit is not directly relevant to the above discussion, but it made me laugh. Have you seen Jason Martell’s new website? Martell seems to be trying to appeal multiple audiences at once, and I don’t think it’s effective. He’s promoting his web technology business, his line of self-published books, and his “Ancient School” video lessons on a page designed like a dating profile. The tagline confused me both for its misplaced comma and its complete lack of sense: “The resistance to a new idea, is increased by the square root of its importance.”

Like many of Martell’s claims, the more you think about it, the less it means. If you can tell me what it’s supposed to mean, please let me know.

Sounds like Scott Wolter PG would do well to remember two things: what the P in PG stands for, and Theodore Roosevelt's advice about critics. In science, "it's not the critic who counts" isn't completely true, but he's not a scientist, and as a self-described Manly Man College Ball Player Action Geologist, he's far too thin-skinned for his own good. He'd be better-off looking at Tyson's response to "science choad," which, far as I know, is to ignore the buzzing flies.

In a way, it's frustrating, because done right, his response to his critics could be a model of scientific thinking (Great Lakes Copper Heist is a rich target for this), but he always starts from the conclusion that anyone who has a problem with his work is persecuting him. Sometimes, he's even right, but those times are triggered by him looking like a snake-oil salesman, hiding behind a thin veneer of science.

Professional Geologist. It says that the State of Minnesota has found him at least minimally competent to practice the profession of geology by a combination of experience, references from practicing geologists, and examination. Engineers are pretty similar. Architects too, but their licensure test is crazy and the rewards just aren't worth it.

"the current wave of anti-science like creationism and the New Age, which are irrational reactions against the discomfort produced by science"

While this is something of a commonplace and plausible as a factor, I think it would be overly simplistic to reduce these phenomena to reactions to discomfort produced by scientific progress.

"McGowan claims to be of the Holy Bloodline of Jesus"

Technically, Steve St. Clair ascented to the same in comments on your blog a few weeks ago...

"Scott Wolter... has a public face that ought to at least try for professionalism."

The sad thing is that I'm convinced he's actually trying.

"“The resistance to a new idea, is increased by the square root of its importance."... If you can tell me what it’s supposed to mean, please let me know."

Simple: It means that once we numerically quantify the importance of an idea, the square root of the value we assign to it is added to the (presumably also numerically quantified value of) the resistance to that idea. Thus, the amount of resistance to an idea is given by a downward monotonic function of its importance. Which, of course, is just the opposite of what you'd expect Martell to say :)

"Klinger..."He (Lovecraft) supported the eugenics movement in America".

Hmm. I don't remember anything in Lovecraft's writings
about sterilizing or killing the usual targets or
the eugenics movement (people with hereditary
disabilities or illnesses, and criminals). Anyone
know if he ever did make such an argument?

Also, the stuff about Lovecraft feeling "threatened by
the world"... I can't remember the source, but I
once read a critical study of Franz Kafka that suggested
he suffered from similar fears.

The closest I know of was in a letter where he wrote of certain racial minorities,

"Either stow ’em out of sight or kill ’em off – anything so that a white man may walk along the streets without shuddering nausea."

How serious he was about that, I don't know.

The Resistance quote might make more sense if it were written in the following manner.
The resistance to a new idea is increased by its importance squared.

I believe what he was trying to convey is:

The resistance to a new idea is directly proportional to the square of its importance. Although, that could be simplified to "... is proportional to its importance". Squaring it only indicates the magnitude of his feelings of persecution by his critics.

The purpose of his statement is to use irrational concepts in a synergistic form of non-euclidean geometry on a quantum physics level. Top that with a toroid and you have a cosmic snack.

oh boy..the debate on academic credentials. This is a hard one. My experience in physics and economics gave me an appreciation of a Masters level as incremental worth over a BS but not a PhD. Obviously the years in the "lab' and experience do count a great deal. I once listened to a debate when I was a grad student at Georgia Tech between an MS student and a Prof in the field of Operations Management. The student had worked for years setting up factories while the Prof taught how but never did...in that case the student was more credible. But I could see a BA in Geology not really getting the physics behind plate tectonics versus a PhD in GeoPhysics. Same for dating techniques..a BA might give you enough to calculate the dates while a PhD and experience would tell you when the dates are wrong.

When you leave your "field" the debate becomes even more contentious...

Mr. Wolter has gone into fields where he hasn't had formal education or training which isn't the total problem..does he want to understand the fields he is now commenting on?

I completely agree. This is particularly true in the technical fields, I suspect, where graduate training of some sort is needed to perform even quite menial work.

This is why I find it so hilarious that Stanton Friedman, who has a MSc in physics, describes himself as a "nuclear physicist" when he never was anything more than a glorified lab technician.

And Wolter doesn't even have that level of education.

Anyone who claims to be of the Holy Bloodline of Jesus Christ is either after money, or extremely insane. Follow the money. Are these people making money of claiming to be the ultimate in royalty, as the guy in France hoaxed long ago, the one the based the da vinci code and holy blood, holy grail on. They can't claim to be actual royalty anymore, so why not claim to be descended from Jesus? It doesn't matter that the Bible said nothing of any children from Jesus. If it happened, it would have been somewhere, even in the hidden texts. No, these people are pathological and out for money, duping people into buying into their hogwash.

But some of your commentators are right too, never rant back to a bad book review on your account. That's not what they're for. If you have a beef about your book reviews, put it on your blog.

SW is obviously in it for the money and couldn't possibly believe the stuff he is peddling. He seems to be a modern day snake oil salesman.

This was a pretty funny article though.

I wonder how many people are actually convinced that some of these allegedly holy grail people are actually legit.

All they'd have to say to be vaguely realistic, and they won't, is that they're descended from Jesus's half siblings. After all, his mother, Mary, had other children with Joseph. She didn't stay a virgin. The Catholics don't want to admit that. The Bible mentions he has at least two brothers, James and John, not confused for the apostles.

I am not confusing this for that cheesy and faked special on the burial box of James from years back. That one was fun to watch, but totally nuts.

It's hard to tell if Wolter (judging by his inability to not snip back at critics) is just deeply insecure or has something of a persecution complex.

Frankly, it's probably a little of both.

I wish you'd told me that 40 years ago!

"2. The time of my return will be after the Cleveland Browns win back to back Superbowls."
My back-of-the-envelope calculations tell me that this will actually occur approximately five years after the heat death of the universe. Alternatively, using the square root of the longitude of Cleveland, it will happen three years after they leave Cleveland for Butte, MN, and become the "Butte Uglies".

Worse than Martell's cryptic tagline, is his bio. If you skipped it, go back and read it. It is a "masterpiece" of grammar, two mistakes in the first sentence alone. It's also full of lots and lots of big long words, the kind of words smart people might use. Just sayin' ... If you are selling your intellect and technology, for god sakes proof-read!!! Or please do not call yourself an "instructor" of an ancient "school"
Anyway, the Bio is very remedial.

EP, the Christian dating site look for me is because the top of the home page is so filtered and has an "Eden"? look to it, and of course, the greeting. Hello, I'm Jason Martell.
I must admit, I went to the site looking for some comedy, so I could be seeing what I want to see.

The photo, the appearance, the lighting and filters, and the overall crispness to that one section is the only professional/quality work I've seen from this guy. No substance.

If Jason C. would hire a hip photographer with an attention to detail, it might make him as intelligent and visionary as his peers. HaHa,
Wait, I'm sorry Jason, I should not have said that Mr Martell is one of your peers. Side note: for someone who promotes the idea that humans are too stupid to build a brick triangle without help from above, he sure does brag about his numerous amazing accomplishments and doesn't seem to give any credit to the "Star People".

Jason, must have missed this posting a couple months ago. It's true that I'm no angel, and hit back at Wolter with some low blows. Your representation of the comment exchange was spot on. The hilarious part is that he is still responding to comments on the Amazon.com thread I started with my review of his book. It's great comic relief for me.

In the case of McGowan hair color is significant,so, it was criticized as not natural. She seems to make a very big deal of being a redhead. It is the color of Mary Magdalene's hair, supposedly. This is why you also see so many "redheads" among visitors to Rennes le Chateau.

As she was blond before, her hair texture and her skin is much of a blonde, and her hair looks like made red with the help of chemistry, it is understandable it was criticized as not appearing natural red.

It is also understandable that McGowan was upset by this criticism, kind of an attack on her self-identity relating to MM. Such details seem to be important among MM blood line theory crowd, really. ;)
