      I’d argue the opposite, since if we call something magic, it means that we’re only in the early stages of discovery. That’s always exciting.

        I would like to respectfully disagree. We use the word Magic in advertising for reasons I’m not an advertiser don’t ask me. Also for sex reasons ask Irving’s Johnson (one could argue all those stages of discovery are exciting but only maybe 97.2843% with a line over the two and the three idk how to do that onna phone are fun exciting but I’m pretty sure he’s explored most of the early stages of everything there is to explore). Also I’m pretty sure we have thoroughly explored what makes the brownies magic. Although it could use another trip.

          I was referring to the specific definition used in the magic/technology divide: something that exerts supernatural power over natural forces.

      Technology that we don’t know how works is magic, give a smartphone to a guy from 1890
