The hare hypothesis is a playful guide to the four life-scripts (friendly weakness, hostile weakness, friendly strength and hostile strength), and their possible relationship to atavistic trends in youth culture. At the heart of the hypothesis sits the wild hare, a convenient symbol of untamed youth. The full guide can be found in the archived section. Newcomers may like to read the introduction first. Ancient venerables are invited to join the hare in the new section.
Old timers confused? This is the new, revamped Sekhmet hypothesis. Thank you to everyone involved with the hypothesis in the early days - Iain. Plus, hello and welcome to any new-comers who turned up on the bloggy world recently. Please note, there are no printed copies of the early hypothesis to be found via this web-site. Also, badly damaged copies going for free were only kept for a year or two then the remainder were binned in the recycle skip back in the mid 1990s. There's none left. Don't waste your money on copies on Amazon going for 40 - 60 pounds - you're being ripped off. As for the second editions, they were just a few pages rattled off the computer & stapled together to keep the last punters happy - they're not 'books' as such.
Thank you to Grant Morrison for the acknowledgement in Supergods. I have to say however the solar side to the early Sekhmet hypothesis was rejected on this site in 1999. Here's the original file along with an update - it's been sitting here gathering cobwebs for 12 years. It's funny to think Grant used the old model for good effect in his fiction.
