The propensity of a large number of magick practitioners/publishers/teachers to conspiracy theories, bad bio-medical takes and ill politics really puts me off the broader art - a lot. I still use it in my own way, but we’re going to miss the rigour of the likes of Peter J. Carroll #magick #conspiracytheories #PeterJCarroll #occult

“Then along came Austin Spare, who identified the basic sleight of mind techniques underlying all forms of magic, and showed us that we could treat the whole baroque symbolism of magic as entirely optional.

"Frank Herbert’s original vision of thinking machines [in Dune] as a ‘spiritual abomination’ seems the more prescient. It seems far more likely that we will enable them to enhance our own stupidities and delusions rather than enable them to become sentient and to attempt to dominate us militarily.
It starts with - do you want your spellings corrected?
Then - do you want your grammar corrected?
Then - do you want your ideas improved, added to, and enhanced?
Then - do you want it all made maximally persuasive?
Lastly - do you want it disseminated by automated target selection?"
