Ohhhhh Good Take. I Have This Sinking Feeling That Alice Is The Meta Canary Overall, And When She Stops

Yes! Jon mentioned survival bias in TMA, because all but a few statements were made by those who survived the Horrors long enough to visit the Institute. But it seems like more of the characters here did not survive.

Thinking about how a lot of theorizing about the Magnus protocols has been considering tma statements as about fear whereas tmagp statements are about desires BUT I’m wondering if this is more about like… selection bias?

Think about it- the Magnus archives collected statements from people who volunteered - people who were frightened and then heard of an archive that collects spooky statements. whereas the OIAR system scours the internet so it’s not biased by who was scared enough to go to the Archives.

“He was trying to find out what he was, and he was afraid of what he would find.

The boy thought that there was something wrong with him. All through his life—even when he was a great man with the world at his feet—he was to feel this gap: something at the bottom of his heart of which he was aware, and ashamed, but which he did not understand. There is no need for us to try to understand it. We do not have to dabble in a place which he preferred to keep secret.”

FUCK YES DANCE WITH THE WORMS

Dancing with the worms—a compilation of our favorite Alciopid worm dance moves.

Alciopid polychaetes have large, complex eyes with corneas, irises, lenses, and other structures that give them excellent vision. These wondrous worms are related to the earthworms we find in our backyards, and in many respects, they are fairly similar—both have a segmented body and bristles on each segment. ⁠The midwater version, however, is completely transparent. 👀

Get caught up

I'm not joking

GET CAUGHT UP

DPHW reminds me of the Aarne Thompson index for fairy tales. I wonder if they're categorizing the type of tale, more than scoring it on qualities?

Do u ever just think about the fact that the old fairy tales of wicked fey scheming to steal your life, your soul, your personality by getting your name, your home, your story, have come true in the form of advertisers buying and selling consumer data?
