How was this never mentioned in Unsong? Not a single time?

IDK, I guess Scott Alexander didn't do his research thoroughly enough. Still, UNSONG is already pretty much a fractal of references and callouts to such things.

On that note, how is it I've never seen anyone connecting the famous "God of the gaps"[0] with a demon literally named "Lord of the Gap"?

(In case no one really did, let history and search engines mark this comment as the first.)
