The world is made of magic, it just differentiated into so many forms, that one of them is science and that’s what many people believe is all there is.
I feel in the mood to explain more about this:
Similar to european school’s history classes tend to be focused on european history (we call that “eurocentrism”), our worldview is focused on humans, i think that’s called “anthropocentrism”. While humans are important, it’s not everything there is. There’s also plants and other living beings, and in fact there’s many more of them than of us. I try to consider that.
I’m calling the unity of all life “magic”, i came up with that and it’s supposed to be a play-on-words on the german word “Magen” (stomach) (representing that plants and animals are connected through an important relationship that is food). Also the stomach is the organ most physiologically/spatially central in the human body, in my opinion. So i imagine that everything’s in the human is built around that “central” organ that is the stomach. That makes sense as the intake of food is the root of all animal existence, that enables animal’s existence in the first place. Thus “everything is created from the stomach outwards”, as supportive organs to help the stomach collect and digest food.
I like to think of Science as magic, because it really is.
Ancient peoples played with “Alchemy,” and modern chemistry is simply that. They would lose it if they knew we could “grow” diamonds, or that we have created an entirely new element.

This is an interesting take.

Or that we’ve turned lead into gold, though not very cost-effectively to say the least.
