Cthulhu Mythos
T
he more we know of the Cthulhu Mythos, the titanic beings, the worst it is for the human race. Mankind likes to fancy itself as the pentacle of creation. Given sufficient time and resources he can conquer any problem through the application of logic and creativity. This is given as a lie. A confident illusion of a fundamentally inadequate race. According to the Mythos, not only are we intrinsically inferior to the older races of the galaxy (our souls), we are constitutionally and perhaps neurotically incapable of acknowledging our own inferiority. When the human mind is brought into contact forcibly with the Mythos, the usual response is either death or madness. (Cognitive dissonance lesser form )We are simply unequipped to deal with the realities of the universe. Are we doomed to be destroyed by the forces of random annihilation beyond our comprehension or perhaps we are destined to become mindless slaves of some inimical alien race. Or perhaps even these hopeless scenarios contain an element of vainglory. Why should the older races even wonder whether our insignificant race either lives or dies, but certainly they have some interest in our little green planet.
