Totally understandable. It is dismaying how widespread COVID-related denial is.
Plus, I need to retract my original statement. I've been mentally enumerating contemporary denials, and they ARE almost all political religious. The autism version was what first popped into my mind, and colored my thinking.
> full of conspiracy theories
Gah, so many versions of denial are mixed up with conspiracy theories.
So I'd think in the later timeline in "These Lifeless Things", that there would likely be conspiracists, and some *would* be interested in the documents, and/or claim the documents are some kind of coverup.
Thinking aloud: Could denying the Lovecraftian past be political in the way that climate change denial is political today? Those in power want everyone to think everything is fine, everything is under control, there's nothing to worry about. (While presumably they think they are rich and powerful enough to to be insulated from inconveniences, and will be able to escape minor catastrophes.)
