Ooh, ooh, pick me! I know the answer.

They very nature of magic can't be understood through deductive reasoning, although it's picked up rather quickly with inductive reasoning.

Schools have this education program, where they teach their students to only use deductive reasoning, for LITERALLY EVERYTHING, including their everyday mundane activities.

The assumption they're working off of is that everything which exists can be understood through deductive reasoning, and that if something can't be understood through deductive reasoning, then it doesn't exist. They haven't gotten to the part where they challenge that assumption with deductive reasoning, because that would be like an attack on their own ego.

Probably cause some sort of memory error like "It's not an assumption, it's a FACT."
"Cant you prove that it's a fact?"
"I don't need to, you need to prove that [reset to earlier point in conversation]"

This and also because its the norm to not believe it.

sorry im sick and when I take cough medicine i get a little bit stupid

>>18112044
People probably think that way to protect themselves because they need something to be clearly obviously true for them to believe it if nobody else believes it.

>>18112053
That's always safe. "If I just don't talk about it, until I hear someone else do it, I won't say anything weird."

>Why dont you believe in magic or the occult?
the amount of humans on this earth absorb to much energy to be able to manupulite it

Unless you use recursion.

>recursion
while it is still aform of manipulating, making a bubble is only good for warding.

Thats what healers/shamans/elders used to do. They would control the magical energies of the tribe to bring good fortune and throw out the bad magic.

Because of posts like yours. By calling everything magic you have made the concept meaningless. You talk about "energy" but don't specify what this energy is or how it can be detected. You throw in a reference to the Law of Attraction fad.

Your entire post is merely gesturing towards some emotion you feel, with a garbled word-salad used to try to describe it. In the end you are an epistemological hedonist, you believe in what makes you feel good, and from this belief has become your drug. You are a jenkum-huffing addict.

I don't believe in magic and the paranormal because it always scurries away from the light of analysis. Someone claims something magical and paranormal, and after careful inspection nothing is found. Believers then say that the analysis itself made the magic go away, or that it exists in some other fashion, or whatever rationale works to try to hide the failures of supernaturalism.

To me it's obvious that only natural things exist. No magic, no gods, no mystical forces, just nature. When it really matters, even the biggest belief-addict relies on naturalism: you aren't going to drive off a cliff thinking you can will your car into flying, and if you do the reality of gravity will shatter your will along with the rest of you.

It's easy to have arguments, when you tell people what to think, isn't it?

>>18112176
how can you say what you are looking at is real?
Even science tells you everything is mainly made up of space.

Because its just woo superstition used to demonize things you don't understand.

We in modern day have horseless carriages that travel at great speeds and we can communicate across great distances with glossy tablets of various sizes.

>>18112158
Magic is a natural thing.

>>18112398
Maybe magic is real, but just really damn hard to master. Nobody to teach perfect techniques. We are still in the stage of thinking chemistry is alchemy. Real stuff like you say may be possible, but only for a skilled practitioner. Do you think the pleb magicians can really pull something like that off? Mostly its subtle perceptual changes in myself. Stuff like that is hard to share with others.

Alchemy is to chemistry as magic is to mathematics. With math as a tool we have been able to create, predict, and analyze things so fantastic that they were beyond the wildest dreams of people living 500 years ago.

Of course the mundane shitwizard just wants to be a special snowflake and have sssecret powers they can feel special about or feel like they're doing, influencing, or gaining something without actually doing the hard work to achieve their goals. Magickckckck is the crack kocaine of wishful thinking.
