That’s, uh… That’s completely not true. I know lots of otherkin magic users. Magic tends to be more popular with otherkin than humans in my experience.
Comment on Science is Magic
ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 10 months agoThe difference between magic and science is that magic is centered on humans. Both a magic universe and a scientific universe contain tools that humans can use to influence their environment, but a magical universe is for humans and about humans whereas a scientific universe is not even indifferent to humans.
I admit that it would be nice to have gods and even the very fabric of reality care about what I want…

Everything I just said is contextualised by the manifesto at soulism.net. TL;DR: reality is fake and bad, support minorities.

Sorry, hon. The magical universe may SEEM to be centered around you, but you’re really just experiencing the side benefits of it being centered around me.

I think that’s actually a question that can be taken seriously. My answer would be that a Turing-complete universe with a mechanism for decreasing local entropy would be sufficient to make it possible (not necessarily likely) that some sort of computing entity would arise and comprehend something like the anthropic principle.
