re: #176 Hecuba’s daughter

Thousands of years.. But maybe that happens in a world where magic is real. How can people believe in scientific underpinnings, in a world governed by magic?

i have often suggested that magic is science

The concept of “magic” is the selfishly, humanly, egocentric perspective of asserting that mankind already knows everything.

That something which apparently cannot be explained by our collective knowledge must therefore be a violation of what we know to be natural law, rather than the simple recognition that there are workings we have yet to uncover and understand.

magic is more an insult to our ego - to what we think we know - rather than a *manipulation* of physical laws that only some people are capable of

It is our inability to admit we just don’t know how the trick is done.
