Magic isn’t real. It exists the same way cold, or darkness, or holes, exist. It’s closer to an absence. An absence of familiarity. That’s all the supernatural is. A oxymoron based on a vital lack of familiarity. It’s all exposure logic. If something doesn’t enchant, then it’s not magic. This is why the elves in Lord of the Rings don’t see themselves as magical beings, or why the black machines of Mordor are seen as black magic, or sorcery. They’re out of the ordinary, or not out of the ordinary enough.

It’s the chemistry in the brown that leads up to “wow it’s like magic!”, with external phenomena to reinforce it. It is the mind’s eye. “Omfg are u a wizard”, etc.

In much the same way, seeing a hon tranny for the first time walking down the side of the road is akin to magic. Bad magic. “How horrifying”. It is a demonic feeling. Witchcraft.

She’s so hot.

kek what an amazing reply
she truly is a chud

I remember JK Rowling being insufferably woke and DEI, what did I miss?

>>16695652
She's still a literal feminazist, but the difference is that she's staunchly opposed to men pretending to be women and invading their spaces, like toilets, sports or even lesbian dating lmao. Crazy trannoidificatorids call her a "TERF", whatever that means.

reminder that she tweeted "I've never wanted magic to be real more" after the Brexit referendum

>>16695672
Illegals skyrockets after that...even though they voted specifically for the opposite.

Something about matriarchical societies where they do the exact opposite of whag they said they were going to do...and they keep doing that until the society collapses (because they keep voting to fix the problem and they keep making it worse).

Brexit has been a complete disaster

gee i wonder if having a single national referendum left you with too little flexibility and no leverage

So this is science and math related now? This place is a garbage dump made for cancerous poltards to intermingle in their own puss and excretions.

Magic is merely the process of breaking known laws of physics. The difference between magic and technology is that magic breaks these laws temporarily on a local level, while technology entirely relies on their unbroken consistency. If I'm throwing fireballs, I'm just breaking law of conservation of energy to make energy out of nothing, or maybe i'm fucking with autoignition temperature of air, could be achieved in many different ways, but the core of the concept is that I'm only suspeding these laws for the duration of the "spell".

Magic has not been consistently observed in real life so far. Quantum phenomena can get kinda close, but not really.

>>16695525 (OP)
>this isn't real, that is real
Let's get something straight, nobody actually knows what is or is not real. All we know from science is what is, or is not, at the present, reproducible.
To the uninitiated, you might ask what is the difference; the difference is this - when you don't actually know what is the ultimate source/mechanics..etc. behind the observed phenomena, how everything really came to be, then for all we know what is reproducible today might not be tomorrow. And what might not be consistently reproduced today, could be in the future. AKA the Problem of Induction.

It’s the chemistry in the brown (brain*) that leads up to “wow it’s like magic!”, with external phenomena to reinforce it. It is the mind’s eye. “Omfg are u a wizard”, etc. Often the capital-w wizard won't see themselves as a capital-w wizard, since they're too transcendent for that. They'd sooner see -why- something is called magic. Why something enchants. Magic is very one-sided. Isolating. Enforced.

Back to the Lord of the Rings analogy, which can be seen as an early case of Prime Directive logic, this is essentially the difference between Gandalf - who does not start cults - and Sauron - who does start cults. The former doesn't weaponize ignorance like the latter. Gandalf is an alien sage, or stage magician of higher capacity, purely. Sauron improvises ignorance horrifically.

>consistently
This is it. What is magic to one is not magic to another. But when a biologist is looking a new form of deep sea life in the face? That sense of wonder they feel when they confront the mystery? That's magic. Even if they don't use the word. This is the same essence that led up to religion. It's the same criteria that led up to accusations of superstition, the supernatural, etc.

Existence -is- a series of black boxes within black boxes within black boxes ad infinitum. Black boxes that are white within. Magic is just as much associated with color (light) as it is associated with the pitch black of the unknown. There is nothing more occult, nothing more alien, than the deep black abyss that is space, and what lies within. Scientists are in denial (in fear) of the magic all around them.

See i don't like this whole "sufficently advanced tech is indistinguishable from magic" take, it's boring. My favorite depiction of magic that i described and the pic in my previous post comes from Arcanum, where technology follow the natural law (so physics, chemistry, etc.) while magic and magical objects follow supernatural law that supersedes natural law for the duration of the spell, or within the immediate area of the magical object. It's a very cool depiction with a lot of unforseen conseqences, like mages having to ride at the back of a train far away from the engine least their physics-breaking presence fuck it all up because an engine is precise enough to be very affected even by minute changes in physics. As I said this kinda applies in real life in quantum phenomena where otherwise consistent laws can get "relaxed", but it's not exactly that either.

It's amazing to me that she said Dumbledore was gay, out of the blue, despite no indicators he is from the books. And is now subsequently mins broken by a different letter in the alphabet she showed support for. I have no sympathy for her.

>See i don't like this whole "sufficently advanced tech is indistinguishable from magic" take, it's boring
Okay but it’s unavoidable. Magic is much too conveniently considerate in the majority of fictions. It is way too artificially implemented. Even if it’s just the author.

>>16696045
His relationship with Grindelwald or whatever his name is pretty obviously gay

>>16696069
And yet, nobody — and I mean nobody — inferred it until Rowling announced it. Then people went back, reread every book line by line, and found a small handful of excerpts that – if read very non generously – *might* indicate he's gay. She announced it for clout, that's all. I say her mind break over is well earned.

This makes no sense. This is why I hate that game.

>>16696575
What doesn't make sense about hypothetical, supernatural objects/forces that can consistently change laws on a local level? That laws irl are consistent is a mere coincidence, it isn't hard to imagine otherwise.

The only valid reason to hate Arcanum is because it's an unbalanced buggy mess.

>>16697062
That’s all still physics. If it exists, it is physics. Nature is nature no matter the nature. It doesn’t actually defy anything. It’s only defiant/supernatural by way of proxy logic. It’s an oxymoron based on familiarity. Exposure logic.

Okay, let me ask you this. Are God’s capital-m Miracles capital-m Miraculous to God? No. Is a human a god to an ant? In practical terms, sure. Something only needs to be godlike to be a god. Something only has to enchant to be magical.

You should really read OP’s opening post.

>>16696039
This is stupid, though.

Technology has always been associated with wizardry. It is a modern flawed take that it isn’t. The devices of the ancient Greeks bewildered the peasant’s mind. It was supernatural to them because they didn’t understand it. Even math was seen as magic for thousands of years. Even to people like Isaac Newton. Numbers legit started insane bean hating (Pythagoras hated beans) cults.

Something doesn’t go against nature—it only goes against our understanding of nature.

>>16695525 (OP)
She’s mostly right.

Is she saying trans women are worth billions of dollars if someone wrote out detailed bogus like Harry Pot like she did? Only boomers fell for that crap. Harry Potter was stolen works from mythology. All her money after death should be given to trans women.
