Cults of Consciousness: Lovecraft and the Birth of Modern Myth

Can a myth that began as fiction become a religion of modern consciousness? H.P. Lovecraft’s invented worlds—Cthulhu, the Necronomicon, cosmic horror—were never meant to be believed. Yet in the digital age, his blueprint for myth‑making has escaped literature and taken root in online culture, conspiracy ecosystems, and algorithmic storytelling.
This video explores how Lovecraft’s “cosmic indifferentism” evolved into a toolkit for viral belief: how collaborative imagination, pseudo‑scholarship, and psychological bias form the hidden architecture of modern myth and virtual cults. From creepypasta and SCP Foundation to QAnon and AI‑generated legends, we trace the strange fusion of philosophy, psychology, and technology that now shapes collective meaning.
