Notes on Foucault’s Pendulum by Umberto Eco
(Pictured: Rhodes Cemetery, Greece. A rose cross monument dedicated to the Knights of Rhodes – I think)
It’s unfair that people compare Foucault’s Pendulum to Ulysses.Ulysses is a novel that spans an entire day but some take years to finish. On the other hand, Eco’s Pendulum is a novel that covers a few years but can be read in a few days. Sure, they are both abundant in references, but the story in Ulysses is obscured precisely by all these references. Pendulum‘s references, on the other hand, might get overwhelming but this is part of its charm.
I won’t give spoilers, especially for the ending, I’ll just mention what’s probably on the book jacket: the story follows three editors who make up a conspiracy theory concerning the Knights Templar. Being a philosopher and medievalist, Eco of course has fun with this story and inserts an uncountable number of references to historical characters, events, books and so on. You can follow along and join the madness, sure, or just nod and carry on, like you do when that relative starts spouting InfoWars talking points at Christmas dinner…Apophenia is people’s tendency to find patterns and connections within seemingly unrelated things. Wouldn’t you know it, I had such a fun time with this book because I became one of the characters for a week. I had no idea what it was about when I picked it as my June beach read in Rhodes. And wouldn’t you know it, a few of the book’s major plot points happen right in the middle of June. And while Rhodes wasn’t the Templar’s headquarters, it was, for a few centuries, the HQ of the Knights Hospitaller (Knights of St. John, or the Knights of Malta today). So of course I had so many connections around me – the symbol of the Rose Cross, the sculptures of Knights, the flags. It was exactly like if I randomly picked up Ulysses and read it on a trip to Dublin. Which I haven’t done.
What is most hilarious is that the Knights Templar conspiracies aren’t exactly recent. They started around the 1700s. Freemasonry started as medieval guilds, but they wanted to have a fancier history so they made up a connection to the Templars. In the 1950’s another chapter starts, with Pierre Plantard who… planted fake documents in the French Archives, and started the whole “Priory of Sion” conspiracy. In 1982 comes the final blow, where three Brits read the Priory stuff and make up their own crap about “The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail”, where they make up a conspiracy that the Templars were hiding the bloodline of Christ. Does this sound familiar?
Eco probably read all this stuff and found it absolutely hilarious, so he made his own version about these nutjobs… And yet 15 years later comes Dan Brown and his audacity DaVinci Code. Without any sense of shame, he decides to embody the satirised characters in Eco’s Pendulum, publishing his own conspiracy, making it a bestseller, stirring the pot for decades to come. It’s a damn shame because the Templars’ actual history is fascinating in and of itself, they didn’t need bells and whistles added…
It is also, in a way, irresponsible, because one of the lessons of Foucault’s Pendulum is that fiction has power and can affect the real world. Yes, the consequences in Eco’s book are fictional, but we’ve seen far too often how made-up conspiracies become real for some. Just wait for Christmas and ask that InfoWars relative.

baru baca buku The Secret of Secrets-nya Dan Brown (sampai bab 10), ane sudah merasa familiar dan bisa merasakan template utama dari hampir semua novel Dan Brown.
Plotnya hampir selalu sama
- Ngisi seminar atau diundang rapat atau pertemuan, membicarakan logika otak manusia,
- Yang ngundang terus mati dibunuh orang,
- Si pembunuh adalah orang atletis, ahli senjata, ahli bela diri tapi goblok karena mudah dimanipulasi orang lain,
- Si pembunuh ikut dan percaya pada sosok tertentu yang dianggap orang suci alias ikut sekte.
- Langdon kemudian terjebak masalah, ditangkap Polisi atau Agen khusus. Dicurigai sebagai pelaku dan diinterogasi sambil dibawa keliling kemana - mana,
Plot ini sangat konsisten yang bagi sebagian orang adalah kelebihan atau standar kemampuan karena selalu konsisten. Tapi bagi ane MEMBOSANKAN!

Bin jetzt in der Hälfte des neuen Dan Brown Secret of the Secrets angekommen und ich muss sagen, es gefällt mir sehr gut!
Die letzten Bücher, das verlorene Symbol und Inferno gefiel mir nicht so und gerade beim suchen nach den Namen der Bücher fällt mir auf, Origin, das vorletzte Buch hab ich glaub nicht gelesen.

Someone asked me, “Have you read the latest Dan Brown?” There’s actually a mention of MISP in The Secret of Secrets. And yes, it fits surprisingly well within the story. Alex Conan (who assists Jonas Faukman in the investigation) mentions that he detected the activity using FTK, and that the indicators were later reused by the threat actor (having a hit on a MISP instance).
“But before I could build the algorithm, my FTK scan returned a hit. One of
the IoCs from this hack had a match on MISP associated with known—"
“Alex, I have no idea—"
“All you need to know is that the people who hacked PRH were in a hurry!
They saved time by using a piece of their own recycled code—duplicated strings
that hackers call copy pasta! It saves time, but it also risks revealing—" -

Este finde a parte de seguir con #StrangerThings5 hemos visto la trilogía de Robert Langdon, usea las pelis de 3 libros megabestsellers de #danbrown.
Afirmo q la buena en la segunda ( #angelesydemonios ) y q las otras 2 aunque sean del mismo director #ronhoward son caóticas y se hacen hasta aburridas. (Imagino q algo parecido q con las películas de #harryporreta q a partir de la 3 no hay quién las entienda si no has leído el libro 😜)
La segunda es casi una jungla de cristal 3 en el vaticano. 👍

Howdy! I've not been around much, sorry. Not on this account, at least...
I've not been gaming. And I've not been trying to get further with my puzzle, although it's still open on my table. I've just needed a pause I guess. 😊Yesterday, well, still today for less than 30 minutes, I did manage to finish the last book by Dan Brown, "The Secret of Secrets". I think it was the biggest book by mister Brown so far! It was a long read... But! If you enjoyed his previously released books, you may also like this one. 😊 It's a bit different from his previous books, but then, so was Origin... Even though it took me longer to get through the pages (there were 899 on my Kobo with my settings), it was worth the read! 😁
More info 🔗 https://danbrown.com/books/novels/the-secret-of-secrets/
I have now started a re-read of an older book, the first one of the "Women's Murder Club", by James Patterson (1st to die). (🔗 https://www.jamespatterson.com/series/james-patterson/womens-murder-club/). There are many books in the series now. I read the first few a long time ago, so it may be fun to re-read a few and then make progress with some I haven't read yet. 😊
Although I also want to read the two "not Robert Langdon" books by Dan Brown. I've read them before, but it would be nice to re-read those as well.
Anywhoo... Maybe soon, I'll try some more on the puzzle. But for now, with the colder days, I've been snuggling under my blanket with my Kobo eReader. 😊
Happy reading :blobcatbook:

Books – The Robert Langdon series
The last few weeks, I have been very busy re-reading some Dan Brown books, in order to be all "ready" to read the latest one: The Secret of Secrets. I have the first 4 books as paper versions, the first two in paperback, the second 2 in hard cover. But, I read all the books on my Kobo eReader, which was a lot easier on my hands. Plus... It has a backlight function, so I can relax in a darker room, with just some candles on, and enjoy my books to the fullest. In 4 weeks time, I was able to finish the first 5 books, and I recently started the latest one. I won't discuss anything about the endings, as I don't want to spoil the books for anyone willing to read them. Even though the books have been out for a while, execept for the latest one. And, three of the books have been made into movies. I heard one of the books became a TV mini-series, but I haven't been able to watch that yet.
