Speculation as spectator sportA new book is out.
Lost: Amelia Earhart’s Three Mysterious Deaths and One Extraordinary Life
by Rachel Hartigan
I found this review of the Hartigan book fascinating for reasons that apply to Earhart, but also to hundreds of “mystery” topics.It remarks on the speculation and searches that have been going on for decades that are fueled by the “chatter-driven, nonfactual celebrity culture”. It cites how “social media turned speculation into a participatory sport” – what I call “mass opinionation” because everyone feels obliged to add their uneducated and often puerile comment to the news story, weird image, or video. As with conspiracy ideas, mystery creatures, anomalies, etc., “the myth making process is now instantaneous”. The reasonable realistic explanation is brushed aside, ignored or challenged by people with little grasp of logic or nature. This is why we have absurd tales of Bigfoots in Ohio migrating away from a meteorite, dogman attacks, mass psychogenic illness events, belief in UAPs as extraordinary objects, et cetera, et cetera…
When I was publishing on Doubtful News from 2011 to 2016 or so, stories about finding Amelia Earhart’s plane came around at least once or twice a year. Often by the same group trying to drum up publicity for their dramatic, speculative claims. None of them were much more than press releases from those who were so obsessed with the topic that they were convinced they knew more than anyone else. Even today, news media that used to adequately serve the public fill their dockets with news taken from someone’s Facebook or Instagram post. Copy-pasting weird tales or someone’s fringe ideas isn’t news. Except now it is, which is disappointing and so frustrating.
They never actually found Earhart’s plane. Maybe one day it will be found. (At least we know it ACTUALLY existed in the first place.) But as with other unsolved mysteries that likely have much more direct or simple explanations for which we haven’t yet found the missing pieces, the real story has been swamped by the media money-grab and mystery mongering.

Amelia Earhart by Doris L. Rich, 2013
She died mysteriously before she was forty. Yet in the last decade of her life Amelia Earhart soared from obscurity to fame as the best-known female aviator in the world. She set record after record--among them, the first trans-Atlantic solo flight by a woman, a flight that launched Earhart on a double career as a fighter for women's rights and a tireless crusader for commercial air travel.

The fate of Earhart and Noonan remains an open question. But researchers from the International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery have pieced together evidence suggesting the pair died as castaways on the tiny coral atoll of Nikumaroro, in the Kiribati islands of the western Pacific.

#AmeliaEarhart's pre-marital letter to George Putnam
#Marriage #Relationships #Career
Transcipted ( also in #AltText )
" Dear GPP
There are some things which should be writ before we are married--things we have talked over before–most of them.
You must know again my reluctance to marry, my feeling that I shatter thereby chances in work which means most to me. I feel the move just now as foolish as anything I could do. I know there may be compensations but have no heart to look ahead.
On our life together I want you to understand I shall not hold you to any medieval code of faithfulness to me nor shall I consider myself bound to you similarly. If we can be honest I think the difficulties which arise may best be avoided should you or I become interested deeply (or inpassing) in anyone else.
Please let us not interfere with the others' work or play, nor let the world see our private joys or disagreements. In this connection I may have to keep some place where I can go to be myself, now and then, for I cannot guarantee to endure at all times the confinement of even an attractive cage.
I must exact a cruel promise and that is you will let me go in a year if we find no happiness together.
I will try to do my best in every way and give you that part of me you know and seem to want.
A.E. "

Laurie Anderson - AMELIADie Ausnahmekünstlerin erzählt von der US-Flugpionierin Amelia Earhart, die als erste Frau eine Erdumrundung wagte. Das Unternehmen endete am 02.07.1937 tragisch - Flugzeug + Pilotin sind bis heute verschollen.
Die in 22 Miniaturen teils minimalistische, teils verdichtete Musik begleitet Tagebuchnotizen + Ausschnitte aus einem Radiovortrag der Pilotin. Das Ergebnis ist beeindruckend atmosphärisch.

"Since I was a kid, I was in love with the sky, the beauty of it, the freedom of it, like I could just float up forever," #LaurieAnderson tells BBC Radio 4's Front Row presenter Tom Sutcliffe in a conversation about her upcoming album, Amelia, due August 30 on Nonesuch. "I remember as a kid doing that, running into the dark ... the ecstasy. Your arms are out like a plane, and you close your eyes and you run."
The record comprises twenty-two tracks about renowned female aviator #AmeliaEarhart’s tragic last flight. Anderson, who Pitchfork says, “sees the future, but she starts by paying attention,” wrote the music and lyrics. On the album, she is joined by #FilharmonieBrno, conducted by #DennisRussellDavies, and #Anohni, #GabrielCabezas, #RobMoose, #RyanKelly, #MarthaMooke, #MarcRibot, #TonyScherr, #NadiaSirota, and #KennyWolleson."
