[QUOTE="Schwarzwald, post: 71494, member: 544"] Buddy I’m not agreeing with your take on the Romans. I’m saying that magic is just a word humans use for stuff they haven't written the manual for yet. The Romans would have thought a phone was magic, facts. The idea that there was some unified education in 100 AD where a random guy was a rational materialist who would just see a smartphone as a 'novelty' is historically illiterate and comical. If I showed a Roman a video chat of someone across the world and a digital map of his own city, his brain would melt. You thinking otherwise is ridiculous. This is the 3rd time I've said I don't want to argue, but you seem to need a villain. You even moved the goalpost to the 'elites' and modern day just to keep it going. It’s literally the bell curve meme, You’re on the left with the villagers shouting 'magic is real mate!' and I'm on the right saying 'there are systems of reality that can be bent, and we just call the unmapped ones magic.'
