that is a good viewpoint to keep!
i am a pretty big fan of science, too, but ive seen it both ways

the whole "magic powers" thing here can be pretty hard on some people :(

( he laughs at that, unseen. some people, indeed. )

Maybe the reverse would be just as hard. Magicians adjusting to science.

i dunno... i think that might actually be super easy
if they dont understand the science, wouldnt it still be just like magic to them?
chemical reactions would just be another brand of hocus pocus!

And thus did Isaac Newton roll in his grave.
Must be kind of nice to see the world that way, though. I know some people who are pretty pedantic about explanations, and if they could ease up a bit they might be happier for it.

ehehehehe, pedantic explanations arent the way to win anyone over, unfortunately
it mostly just kind of pisses people off in my experience
maybe i will set up my own school
"here, let me teach you all the science you can never practically use here!"



(sigh
it is possible i actually miss it :()

The impracticality might be a selling point.
Theoretical physicists used to be pretty popular.


And I think you're allowed to miss just about anything. You probably won't find anyone who's not making an adjustment, I'd bet.

"theoretical" always just seemed like a challenge to me

It's attitudes like that that gave us most of the advances of my time, I'd bet. Or any time, really.
