I have a conspiracy theory I believe in that I have no solid evidence for.
People talk about China and their Social Credit System where they watch you all the time?
We have that already in the US but no one talks about it.
There is a digital caste system that is being applied, even here in the US.
It is digital "redlining" segregating certain people into poverty and certain people into the "management classes" all to support the Oligarchy.

Being a Cult Member Invited To Speak at a -Con For Other Cult Members Is Not The Flex You Think It Is
All I am going to say is that being part of a convention that is really a conference for chronically online, insufferable reply-guy cult members is not the flex that you think it is. Neither is missing a psychiatrist appointment to argue with conspiracy theorists on Reddit.
Yes, that actually happened. A person involved in that Discord really did miss a psychiatrist appointment just to argue with strangers on the internet about *checks notes* the Anunnaki. To be fair, they were arguing against the typical high strangeness, but mentally sane people are not missing medical appointments to argue against high strangeness online and then telling everyone about it on Discord, xer (I am using neopronouns because I don’t know their gender).
That’s all I have to say about the state of fuckery in occulture. If you know, you know. Missing a psychiatrist appointment to argue with strangers online is, clinically, a symptom of obsession—but whatever.
Only losers join esoteric cults—oh, excuse me, occult lodges. It’s like feeling smug about being invited to speak at a Scientology convention. No insight. None to be found. I honestly think they believe they are more than just a creepy religious fraternity, like any other creepy religious body in America.

A reason I no longer use Discord is that every time I join a server, the gatekeeping, application, and vetting processes make me feel like I am joining a cult. Because I am waiting for my phone to charge, I decided to join an occult Discord server from my laptop while I wait. They seriously had a convoluted system of gatekeeping bots, only for you to have to fill out a 15-question application form where they wanted a paragraph for each question, which was basically an exam on occultism. It’s too much of a bother for me, and I don’t really use Discord. However, it is insane to me that to join Discord servers, especially the occult ones, you basically have to apply for membership to a cult. Absolutely insane!
The only people who would actually care to set up such a system or go through such a system are extremely online people. The cultures of Discord are setting up automated systems to select for the most toxic, extremely online people on Discord. Gatekeeping on Discord and other esoteric communities is a type of filter. They’re automated to create filters. Here’s the interesting thing about toxic, hateful, and dangerous communities: what makes them hateful is directly related to the people willing to go through those systems and pass through those filters because you only get the most committed.
There has been research done on this, and it is part of the reason why deplatforming does not work for the most hateful communities. The most committed to those communities will go through the filters and obstacles required to reconstitute themselves, where you have a selection for the worst of the worst. It’s counter-intuitive, but a system of automated solutions to gatekeep and vet to protect a community paradoxically selects for the most extreme and hateful people. You make communities worse by gatekeeping and not better because you create dynamic bifurcation where the most extreme, militant, and committed get selected for by passing through those filters.
It is basically a metaheuristic process similar to natural selection. In natural selection, environmental factors favor certain traits that increase an organism’s chances of survival and reproduction. Similarly, in the context of online communities and gatekeeping, the selective pressure comes from the criteria set by moderators or the community itself, favoring individuals who meet certain standards or criteria. In online communities with stringent gatekeeping measures, the process favors individuals with extreme viewpoints or behaviors, leading to the amplification of those extremes within the community. It’s the perfect way of engineering a memetic plague. Memetic is frequently thrown about as a buzzword in post-modern psychological model paradigms, equivalent to the words energy or frequency in energy model paradigms.
By memetic, I am referring to a cultural phenomenon that is taught, learned, and imitated. Since this selects for the most harmful individuals, it creates the most harmful cultures where virulent cultural elements can be observed by others they interact with outside those communities and imitated. Since memetic entities operate similarly to viruses, we can describe them as a type of cultural or cognitive germ. In that sense, Discord is a memetic sewer. I have psychopathy, so my mirror neurons are shot. Mirror neurons are involved in how we decode memetic entities, so while I am capable of superficial mimicry to be successful in society, I don’t internalize memetic pathogens. So, beyond annoyance, I am not infected.
Honestly, I think this is what led to the destruction of online occult communities. While the early Internet was less accessible and it served as a filter for the tech-savvy, other than that, it was relatively open and unsorted. For example, before Discord, I spent a lot of time on IRC. Early recommendation algorithms and machine learning models were essentially categorization processes. They analyzed user data, interactions, and content attributes to categorize or classify content into different groups or categories. These categories were then used to personalize users’ feeds, recommend content, and target advertisements. As these became introduced, it started creating these more and more selective filters that, via something similar to natural selection, amplified the worst of the worst, which started to infect and corrupt occult resources online. I think that occult communities were able to boom in the late 90s and early 2000s, until the start of the 2010s, because it was relatively open and there weren’t any selection pressures to engineer memetic plagues we are dealing with.

This is going to be my last post on this group because the situation is just beyond idiotic. In my 26 years of practicing magic, I have never, ever, ever met a group as persistently and chronically dumb, idiotic, extremely online, and utterly insane as #DKMU. I literally can’t wrap my mind around how their members are able to function. At all.

I just took a look at BlueSky occult profiles and feeds. Sighs. Regrettably, services and sites that use the ActivityPub protocol are the least fucked up and hateful. That is a very low bar considering there are fucked up people on here, too; however, they, at least, attempt to maintain some level of coherent discourse instead of degenerating into hateful, incoherent cries for murder. How fitting that the insane occultists, who are Twitter expats, remain on BlueSky. I have a sneaking suspicion they are on BlueSky and not ActivityPub sites because people who maintain their own instances enforce heavy moderation.
Honestly, the ability to moderate your own site is why I am on here via my WordPress site. It’s wonderful. Again, this is a very low bar considering that independently run IRC servers, XAMPP servers, sites, RSS feeds, and forums were the norm back in the day, and people weren’t nearly as neurotic or antagonistic.
The dedicated occult instances on Mastodon — I don’t mean the profiles on mastodon.social — isolate themselves and tend to have a genuine sense of community. The occult profiles and feeds on BlueSky seem to just be another branch of Twitter where they deliberately seek out and call for the murder of people. I wish I was kidding. You’d think I was talking about Nazis. Nope, those folks lean heavily towards the left. Mastodon leans towards the left; however, outright crying out for murder is something you probably won’t run into.
Here’s the insane thing: I have Antisocial Personality Disorder; however, I understand that I live and am dependent on human civilization. Therefore, if human civilization does well, I do well, so it is in my interest to be prosocial. It’s logical. It’s pure lunacy that the Blue Sky occult anarchists are more lunatic than me. They’re behaving against their own interests. That seems to be the theme of America.
Evolution is a funny thing. Because it takes more to hunt and catch prey than to avoid predation, predators frequently evolve to be intelligent. However, humans are predators that evolved prosocial tendencies because it contributes to our fitness. So, humans are an interesting duality of cruelty and empathy. We’re all predators because we’re sapient. It’s a delicate dance on the edge of a blade wet and slippery with blood. I’m cynical. The point is even I recognize the benefit of human society and compromising within society to benefit. They don’t.
It’s fascinating yet horrifying to see the occult niche on social media platforms—especially Discord—spiral into insanity, suicide, homicide, violence, and drug addiction. The interesting thing is that many of them are aware of how toxic they are. Honestly, an authoritarian style of moderating many of these communities, where facts were disregarded, drug use encouraged, and mental illness enabled, set fire to many of those communities. Now, many of those people feel displaced, disjointed, and dissatisfied with the places for them to go, yet they are the ones that lit the fire. I don’t conform if there is not a logical reason to do so, and being a nonconformist saved me from spiraling into destruction.

This is one of my rather intimate posts. I have not decided whether I will post it publicly or privately. I am leaning towards the public. We shall see. It depends on where this post goes and where it ends up. I am experiencing a bout of existential loneliness, again. It may be triggered by watching magicians in my cohort cycle back, again. Alan Wake 2 gave me a different way of looking at circles. I kept thinking that people are stuck in a loop that starts and ends where it begins. This isn’t a loop. It’s a spiral where people can spiral upwards and ascend or downwards and descend into self-destruction. The insidious illusion of magic and magical communities is a sublime narrative, typically backed by some mythology, that makes people feel as if they are working towards something meaningful, sublime, and beyond them that will transform the world. Growing up in a religious and esoteric family, I was cynical because that sentiment is endemic to every spiritual and esoteric community and it normally preyed on people’s need to belong.
I was born with psychic abilities, and I discovered that I was different when I was 7. When I showed other people my abilities as a kid, I was punished, abused, and isolated. It wasn’t that they didn’t believe me; rather, they had a negative attitude about my very existence. Ever since I was a kid, I could generate blue sparks from my hands. When I realized I could do this, as a kid, I thought it was cool, so I showed off. I could also send jolts of energy through people by touching them. That was my first set of abilities that manifested at a young age.
The blue light and sparks don’t do anything on their own. Unlike in television shows, when I hit objects with it, it does nothing. The best it can do is change the electrostatic properties of things. That isn’t to say that is the scope of my abilities. Just the blue light I can generate doesn’t do much other than glow. But, it is flashy, so whenever I want someone to believe me, lighting up my hands is the first thing that I do. Considering other people can see it and they react to it, I know it is not a hallucination. Will you ever see a recording of me doing any of this? No.
According to my husband, my eyes glow, too. I am not quite sure how it works. One of the questions is if my eyes are glowing why don’t I see it, and how is that possible without blinding me? When my intent is a ball of entropy or randomness where the intent is to make all outcomes equally likely, it causes a distortion in light that shimmers. I normally am not vocal about these things because, for some reason, it sets people off. I have literally had a little group of people follow me around for years and years trying to disprove my existence.
That started this existential search for trying to figure out why I am the way I am when I was 10. I found out answers I wish I hadn’t, but that is a whole other thing. I can’t see past the betrayal enough to type coherently about that. I am seeing millennials who are as old as me who have been involved with paranormal communities for just as long cycling back to the boards they visited as teens, and I realized that they are spiraling.
My husband believes that magic is increasing in the world and that my psychological problems are because I run from issues. He has seen me do experiment after experiment trying to disprove the paranormal and the opposite happening where my reaction turns into me trying to gaslight myself, which is when he steps in. I don’t face things, and I do not face myself, so my husband believes that the key for me dealing with things is to face that I’m a paranormal entity living in a very weird world.
There was a distressing moment in my life where I tried to run away from an issue and paranormal forces created a teleological point where all roads led me to the same path. It was like walking through the front door and into the living room from the bedroom door instead of outside. I’ve experienced a less fantastical version of that looping behavior. When I tried to leave a city, completely coincidental and random events led me back there, though I had literally flown to the other side of the country. Now, married to my soul mate, I realized the looping was guiding me towards him.
Some people say I am insane. Honestly, I’d rather be insane than any of this being real. I’m more comfortable with the idea of this all being a delusion than it being real, but the facts line up, and no matter how many times I do experiments, the results are the same. When I was younger, I used to personalize it. I used to think that this was something I was going through; however, as I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized, it is actually this country. America is an occultic nation, and everyone here has skeletons in their past. No one is “normal,” and the mundane is just a facade. An illusion. For some reason, it doesn’t make me less existentially distressed. It actually does the opposite.
Do I believe in fate? Not in the conventional sense of the word. Think of the swing of a pendulum. As the pendulum swings, it traces a chaotic trajectory where the path it takes is related to where the you start the swing, so creates a bifurcation that is determined by the initial point of the swing; however, with each iteration of the swing, the pendulum runs out of energy and it spirals inward. Eventually, all points will lead to the final state of the pendulum hanging straight down because it ran out of energy. We can say that the inevitable and final state of the pendulum will be in that position, so we can think of that as a type of teleology. The intuitive assumption would be that running out of energy would be denoted by 0, therefore, 0 is typically an attractor. In actuality, 0 is usually a repeller. 1 is an attractor. An intuitive way to think about it is that something will happen, albeit we may not know what, so the odds of something happening are always 1. Therefore, all outcomes are attracted to 1. That is called a fixed point attractor, and it is a property of dynamical and chaotic systems. The ability for magical and psychic forces to create order, correlations, symmetries, and make one outcome more or less likely than another is an example of creating an attractor I.e. an orbital. It’s the result of chaos. We also see it in resonant systems.
We can think of someone like me as having a particular natural frequency, and we can think of external magical forces and systems as having a frequency close to my natural frequency. The fixed point attractor in this scenario would be a stable oscillation amplitude and phase. Once the system reaches this state, it would maintain a constant amplitude of oscillation. The amplitude and phase of the oscillation become fixed points, attracting the system towards a stable resonant state. That means I resonate with magic and am dynamically pulled towards paths with maximum magical action within stochastic processes where there are multiple possible paths. Nature minimizes or maximizes action. Why is this the case? My guess is that physical properties of my body match higher-dimensional patterns such that I am sensitive like iron is sensitive magnetic fields.
One of the reasons why I am skeptical of the conventional ideas of an afterlife or reincarnation is that it’s predicated on a sequential nature of time where we are born, we die, and we experience an afterlife. However, psychic abilities are temporally non-local; therefore, they exist outside of time. For example, a person who is clairvoyant and post-cognitive can psychically perceive events in the past that happened before they were born. And, there has been evidence in the journals of people who are psychic where the person not only had flashes of their death, but they also had flashes of their own funeral. The journals were found after their funeral. It means that the person had an OBE where they were observing their own funeral, albeit, at the time, they were alive. This means an aspect of us exists on a higher-dimensional plane before we are born and after we die that we can access while we are alive. Life and death are biological terms we apply to mortal things. This entity cannot die because it was never born or lives in a biological sense within the realm of mortals; therefore, it is immortal.
I do not think our souls migrate from body to body; instead, I think our physical bodies are lower-dimensional instances of a pattern, i.e., an entity. Think of it like this: squares and triangles are different shapes, and we can have an infinite number of different squares and different triangles that are different from each other. However, they are all instances of shapes. But, shape is an abstraction. All the squares are not the same nor are the squares triangles; however, all squares and triangles are instances of shapes, and all the different instances of squares are shapes. I don’t think we have individual souls that migrate; instead, I think we are different instances of a pattern that’s connected via a directed acyclic graph. People involved in Machine Learning would recognize directed acyclic graphs because they create a neural network architecture. In this case, I think it creates a psychic network architecture that connects different lives together as nodes, where the entire system, as an entity, learns. I don’t think it is one soul that passes from body to body. I think it is a network of entities.
I think what we think of as souls and past lives are different instances of people connected via a directed acyclic graph. My husband has been astral projecting to different realities as of late. I am skeptical, but the things he experiences match up with things. From the realities he goes to, all different versions of me are involved in something esoteric, with me being a Jedi in one. We are also together in each reality. I think I am pulling energy and experiences from different versions of myself where the entire system is an aggregate of my soul. So, holistically, I resonate with other versions of myself doing magic. Reincarnation makes little sense to me because it is predicated on a sequential nature to time when psychic phenomena is temporally non-local, so that aspect of us would be beyond life and death and immortal, albeit not invincible.

After finding the millionth schizo thread about me, looping me into another person’s gangstalking delusion on Reddit, this is my mood:
These haters obsessed, can’t keep my name out they mouth
Don’t pay no rent, I pay a mortgage on my sickening house
I’m blackity-black, rakin’ in racks, you nosey bitches
And how I run my business ain’t yo’ business to be worried aboutReal talk, don’t fuck with a Aries in bad bitch mode
I done paid every bitch, every cent I owed
They be quick on my dick when I click upload
I’m the bitch, still rich, I’ll never be canceledI’m the one and the only, you’re a hater, you’re lonely
Feel them pullin’ down on me, they already below me
Bitches fake and they phony, all they got’s a baloney
Eyes only on the Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony
I’m in the room with elites, bum bitches under my feetsI wish I was kidding. It is literally the same people from 15 years ago. Yes, they have really been doing this for the last 15 years. This time, apparently, I am being paid by the government to troll occult communities as part of a grand conspiracy to keep magic away from the populace. Yep, you heard it from me. I work in the government’s anti-magic department. Oh, and in case you weren’t keeping track, I’m apparently doing this from Serbia so I’m a foreign national, too.
It is surreal how everyone will watch these people spiral into psychosis and not do anything about it. I am seriously waiting for these people to be on the news. It has been the same people going from Discord to Discord and Reddit sub to Reddit sub for 15 years now. Literally the same people… I can’t even imagine living like that.
By the way, one of these said insane people is doing this really creepy thing of feeding AI text from archives back then to create AI-generated characters so that they can recreate the time when we were all in high school. I’m not kidding. This little insane cohort started when we were literally in high school and middle school. Yes, we were on online paranormal forums back then. It is my old group I spoke to online from high school that is literally fucking obsessed with a paradigm built literally on Dungeons and Dragons. If you know, you know. They are talking about Naruto and Dragon Ball Z as if this is still high school, and we are running back home to watch Toonami. I can’t grasp what happened to make these people stunted at high school.
I am finding that this is a common thing among people with schizophrenia or Borderline Personality Disorder. Apparently, they will try to replace whomever they have a parasocial relationship with with AI, so they will train the AI from media and create an AI character. It’s not just this person, which is another reason why I minimize the amount of faithful media I put out there. It gives me the creeps. But, yeah, that’s a thing that is going on. It is getting to the point where I think many of these people are sincerely dangerous to themselves or other people. If they spin off into psychosis and hurt someone, I truly wonder if Reddit or Discord can be held liable since their platform enabled it.

People in occult demographics, occult cohorts, and occult niches feel isolated and as if there is no place for them to go after they, themselves, set fire to their own communities. I’ve been around occult, pagan, and paranormal online spaces for decades, and I have seen them gradually set fire to each and every community. Now, many of them have no place to go since every online space is a dumpster fire that they, themselves, set.
I know I have been ranting against occultism for a while now, but another disturbing interaction with a schizophrenic woman – no, not that one from DKMU, a different one – has me thinking about how occultism enables mental illness and how antisocial personalities inevitably set fire to everything. That person going on a schizophrenic rant about me – not the one from DKMU, a different one – inevitably got them banned. That person is from my millennial cohort of online energy communities from the early 2000s. The same group of people has been running around setting fire to each one of their communities, and when one goes down, they move to a different one and destroy that one too. It’s sad, but it didn’t have to be this way.
Occultists are the ones destroying their own niche because they refuse to get psychiatric care and, instead, enable each other’s paranoid, parasocial delusions. Witches.live is slowly burning down, and everyone is jumping ship to Pagan Plus, for example, albeit those people jumped ship from Twitter. Let’s be honest, occultists and the occult niche acted as a vehicle to carry a lot of the conspiracy theories that spread, so occultists were Trojan horses and arsonists. I’m very disappointed and sad about how the same group of people will sabotage their and other people’s lives. I’ve been practicing magic since I was 10, so I’ve seen a lot.

Why does it seem like the leader of every online occult community is an antisocial lunatic that wants to start some type of physical cult? I swear, I have literally almost seen all of them with plans to buy up a lot of real estate and land to develop a commune, compound, etc. The insane thing is that when I was involved with early psionic communities – like Vsociety – a group of them actually did that. They created a cult and had people live with them. It was called The Divine Science.
2015 and 2016 were when the bottom fell out with these places, and there was an explosion of these cults. Little did the students back then know that their teacher was LARPing as Goku. We called it radical ki, aka bullshitdo. Jesus Christ, it was cringe, and it is disturbing that it has just gotten worse in that the bullshit, radical ki, wannabe kung fu shit has just been absorbed by the manosphere. I literally remember arguing on body energy arts forums 15-18 years ago that semen retention was not correlated with psychic ability, where I had all of these teenagers and 20-year-olds, who grew up to be incels still pushing that no fap shit, lecturing me on jing, ki, and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Okay, I am done with my rants about occultism that have spanned a few posts now. I try my best to avoid joining in on the negativity on social media, which is why I try to avoid negative, argumentative discourse that is endemic to Mastodon.

I am once again contemplating filing several defamation and harassment suits because insane occultists keep forming parasocial relationships with me and creating conspiracy theories about me… From what I can tell, occultists have this insane desire to punish and antagonize anyone not of their tribe, so much so that they literally will antagonize and yell at random people online. Honestly, it’s a contemplation because I don’t want to deal with the expense of a lawyer and the inconvenience to my life, but it is quickly approaching that point where I may need to seek a legal remedy because their insane behavior is escalating.
Here is your reminder:
Retaliation is legally a form of malice. If a person says something to you online that you do not like and you retaliate through intimidation, coercion, or defamation, it meets the burden of proof of malice, and it largely negates the defense that you were antagonized. In my state retaliation meets the burden of malice. If someone pisses you off that badly, you need to log off.#anarchism #anarchists #anarchy #animistic #ceremonialMagick #chaosMagic #chaosMagick #conspiracyTheories #conspiracyTheory #cults #defamation #Discord #DKMU #lawsuit #legal #magick #occult #occultism #occultist #occultists #occulture #pagan #paganism #paranormal #psychic #Reddit #spirits #spiritual #Spirituality

I just saw someone in the Discord for r/occult reference very old Retro PK experiments. I am very annoyed with people abandoning their skepticism. Objectivity and empiricism tend to get conflated, and they are correlated with each other; however, they are not one and the same. Empiricism is knowledge that you have experienced for yourself, whereas anecdotal is a story you heard. If you were to ask me why I believe in the paranormal stuff that I do, my response would be because of the experiences I have had. When I tried to disprove that it was paranormal, my alternative hypothesis that it was not paranormal did not hold up, and its being paranormal was supported. Spontaneous paranormal experience is what caused me to seek things out and research things, so my experiences came before someone telling me that magic and psychic stuff are real. Because the peer-review and science journal process haven’t been unscathed by corruption and the insidious reach of capitalism. I do not just accept something because it has gone through the peer review process. I look at the number of times it has been cited by other articles and the reputability of the work that cited it; I look at the impact, I look at the credibility and integrity of the editorial board, I look at the journal’s ranking score. Because of the nature of paranormal subjects, many of these topics are like that. That is why you attempt to replicate what they did. You do the science yourself, and you see if you get your own data.
My cohort of millennial occultists frustrate me. There is a difference in cohorts when it comes to magic. Gen X is more conventionally modern and postmodern, whereas millennials were strongly encouraged by high strangeness, mesmerism, theosophy, new age ideas, energy work, and parapsychology. For example, I’m part of a cohort of psions; though, I no longer practice psionics, and the realization that it was built from Dungeons and Dragons role-playing kind of freaks me out and depresses me. Energy is just an abstraction of change, and power connotes the ability to get something to change as a consequence of; therefore, energy working paradigms connote an interest in power. Unlike Gen X, for example, that is more concerned with a normative paradigm, which is part of the reason why many of them are so interested in politics, millennials had a particular interest in power without the authority. There was a particular contempt for esoteric orders we had – that I still have, which is why I said we wanted power without authority.
Modern magic is more or less ontological, unfalsifiable, not testable, and concerned with spirituality and how people should live their lives. Whereas science aims to describe and predict, spirituality is more about giving people a framework for making decisions, what they should do, and how they should live their lives. Normative expressions are ontologically disjointed from reality in that they describe how things should be but do not aim to describe how they are. For example, people should not be fascists; however, the reality is that fascists exist, though, I assert they should not exist. Instead of being inductive and epistemological like science, that form of occultism is metaphysical like Math. Instead of supporting and revising itself, the ontological entities accumulate. There’s a collection of occult texts, for example, that are canon.
Honestly, some days I feel better because having the experiences I have had robbed me of my ability to deny their existence and live a normal life. My life is just as messed up as a person without psychic abilities who does not practice magic. Magicians and psychics are not special. In fact, our sensitivity to psychic and magical forces makes us more susceptible to self-destruction, obsession, addiction. I think people have this misconception. We don’t practice magic because we want to; instead, a series of events lead us down this path regardless of our wishes or wants. I find it ironic. The illusion of magic is that of power and the ability to control things and express your agency; however, being born the way I was into this deep ocean of weirdness was beyond my control. I did not have a choice, and that makes me resentful.
My cohort of the paranormal demographic frustrates me because we are approaching our 40s. Many of us, myself included, have been doing this for over 20 years. We have passed the book club and student phase, yet many of us still approach these subjects from the paradigm we developed while in school. The trope of the magical school, whether that be high school. We are past the age of even being in college. My student loan debt alone tells me that. I’m zeroing in on my cohort because we were the ones especially skeptical. Replication is part of the peer-review process. The research I see people I knew from 15 years ago spreading is literally over 20 years old. Not only have the parapsychology researchers done better, more relevant work, claiming that one has magical powers, psychic powers, psychokinesis, etc., is an extraordinary claim. How does one test the claim? You do the science yourself. At this point, all of us should have a nice lab journal filled with a lot of our results. There is no reference to any data. It is just a bunch of models, diffuse articles with a tenuous connection to whatever it is that they are claiming, and no attempt, at all, to replicate the experiments they are citing.
We call Hard Science Fiction a genre of fiction because while it is grounded in science, it is grounded in speculation. On the other hand, Fantasy in a Science Fiction setting, like Warhammer 40K, is fiction because it is counterfactual; i.e., subjunctive conditionals. We can think of things we extrapolate that do not have measurable instances as conjectural, at best. That means that occultists that do not take the time to fill their models and paradigms with data are, essentially, writing fiction and ostentate fiction – they are LARPing. Ontologically and epistemologically, there is no difference between most of what I see alone about occultism and magic and genres of fiction, such as magical realism. Magical realism is more interesting and novel.
