I know a lot of people that want to re-enchant the world and to live lives of magic and mystery.

But you never know, with magic, whether you're going to get Narnia or Nyarlathotep. The world is a fucked up place and that doesn't stop at the boarding gates for the Astral Planes.

It's my belief that the great sorcerer John Dee laid the pathway for Issac Newton and Robert Fludd and all the rest to pretty much bind all the magic of the world into science: we got predictable machines that worked, not stone tables that change depending on how you look at them

And that's just a myth, of course - to literally believe that John Dee bound the world's magic into science is just magical thinking.

But if we had to make the trade you would want science instead of magic every single goddamn time.

Take your goddamn vaccines. Pray it's over.
