@memizon @ChrisJosiffe People so often focus on the madness of Copeland-Blight, the early days of space telegraphy where to some in Hookland, space meant outside the atmosphere and fail to see how all of these characters influenced the likes of Olag Gandle.

@memizon @ChrisJosiffe Weychester University, only ever renowned for its As – archaeology, anthropology and astronomy – was home to many societies and drinking groups where one discipline bled into another. Of course, Arkinstall was a member of so many of those.

@porridgebrain I like to do A-Zs and lists of influences at certain points, because externalisation can be such a catalyst to deepen or free yourself from relationships. Yes, too much navel-gazing is harmful, but sometimes that outer mapping process really helps.

@porridgebrain I love that. And yes, it would be different now because we are walks in progress, but I suspect that most of it would still be there because you found a profound infrastructure of truth.
