    Science is indistinguishable from magic, if you don’t care to learn how science works.

        But… if there’s a consistent system along which magic works which can be studied/researched/formulated, then isn’t it just… science?

                I don’t know about the best (because I started back in the 80s with a commodore 64, not exactly repeatable) but a good way is this guy: https://eater.net/6502

            Assembly isn’t magic. Computers compiling/interpreting high-level languages into assembly, and making everything works without constantly breaking IS MAGIC

    I just love how the conspiracies reinforce each-other in the most convenient ways.

    “Anyone who doesn’t get vaxed is going to be put in a FIMA concentration camp!”

    “What? That’s crazy, where’s the evidence of that?!”

    “You can’t find it because they’re censoring everything on the Internet.”

    So now, not finding evidence of conspiracy 1 is evidence for conspiracy 2!

      And this a very common mindset, because most societies (some more than others) take children’s* innate curiosity and pound it flat for the sake of efficiency by way of standardisation. It really is a shame, since we waste a lot of potential as a species this way.

      It’s important to understand the prevalence of coincidence and incompetence. Humans are exceptional at pattern-finding – too good, really. In order to think critically, we need to recognise our own tendency to find patterns where none exist.
