    Yeah, but when someone is ask fsr gone as OP my patience is empty and even from a tactical standpoint, just not dealing witj their bullshit is the only way. I worked at an organic food store thst made most of its Jmoney selling fake medicine to old people with cancer. They paid the bills depleting people’s wills. It is useless stinkin thinkin that is reserved for those with the time to ponder useless shit. There is work that desperately needs to be done to ensure we have an existence to ponder and im not the most patient person im these regards.

      Yeah, my objection might have been inappropriate because OP here is so cagey about communications (what even is “magic”?) that I think it’s fair to write OP off as bad faith. I’ve just known a lot of people like I described, or (by very rough analogy) like the old people who were buying the fake medicine, who are also believing hokum but not from a standpoint of privileged solipsism so much as desperation.

        Its the people taking advantage of the desperation peddling this shit and a lot of this literally dates back to 1920s snake oil salesmen and orientalism coming together. It’s very self perpetuating as well, the whole thing is about YOU all the time, your spirit, your enlightenment, your personal journey etc. Its always so self centred
