GR translation: sweat drops in the air

[alice wellintown]

For Lovecraft the soft gray matter which humans cherish so deeply
cannot stand up to such an assault. Yet asylums have long been closed
and the psychiatric wards are not overflowing at the rate he would
expect. It is because, in part, that the naturalism of philosophies of
science treat nature as an innocuous container or cheery factory of
things which the scientist can rearrange accordingly. That is, even if
the Promethean attitude towards nature is no longer exploitative, a
view of nature as still mechanistic lingers even in ecological
thinking.
