Fantastic! Wow! Of course you knew of the Robison book which I have yet to read, and I did not know he was a physicist.

Great stuff!!

You might mention, at some point if you agree, what I discovered on my deep dive into this history a couple years ago, that lighting is still quite a mystery to science, and seems to keep the earth with a slightly negative charge no?

I read Frankenstein a few years ago. Not a great novel but what a concept. She saw the whole thing…incredible!!

Where did you find that commencement address by the high schooler??? Great.

I have a new page up at my website “Annals of Scientism”. I’ll put a link to this essay. Great stuff

Robison's Proofs of a Conspiracy (https://archive.org/details/proofsofaconspir47605gut) is well-worth checking out. I started down the Free Masonry trail after being introduced to the Francis Bacon connection through your Hidden Life is Best podcast (https://thehiddenlifeisbest.com/), which I found out about from James Delingpole (https://delingpole.podbean.com/e/robert-frederick/).

Atmospheric electricity is a fascinating subject (https://infogalactic.com/info/Atmospheric_electricity). As you note, the Earth is negative and there's a 100V/m electric field increasing to about 300kV in the upper atmosphere. It's not directly on the path I'll be taking, but I may have an opportunity to talk about it, eventually.

The Frankenstein High School Commencement Address (https://www.ewtn.com/catholicism/library/frankenstein-10806) was delivered by E. Michael Jones. You can find more of his writings at Culture Wars Magazine (https://culturewars.com/).

In my reading of Frankenstein the "monster" was not created amoral. His resentment resulted from frustrations at his attempts to be part of society, being rejected for his ugliness.

That is quite true. It is ultimately not a horror story, but a tragedy.
