Magic is real. It's just very, very small.
Magic is like conventional reality except with fewer assumptions.
If conventional reality involves navigating a game, magic involves navigating a space of games.
If a game is a set of assumptions (and what emerges from that), magic is what you have when you discard some of those assumptions.
I'm pretty heavy on meditation these days (shikantaza).
You can whistle 5 notes that will make a significant chunk of the population feel hunger. If that's not magic, what is?
What 5 notes? Gonna get rich with a food cart and subliminal messaging
Unfortunately these 5 notes have had a curse placed upon them whereby anybody except their owner uses them, they lose a substantial amount of money
Probably the McDonald's jingle
