Black Magick Manifesto (bumping this)

So, why am I an LHP magician who becomes as an angel, one that helps people? :thinking:

Then we could form a union, and have our one Truth, which the loudest people have all agreed upon, defined once and for all, and try to discourage people who cannot entirely agree from speaking out, because “we all” like the ideas we have arrived upon.

Maybe formalise our findings in a book, and rate people by how closely they agree with what we unified as one mind to discover?

That’s always worked so well before! :heart:

Sorry to yank your chain there bro :stuck_out_tongue: but I am always really skeptical of calls to unity, espevcially when they’re about finding the “one Truth to rule them all” - they never end well… I laid out my concerns about all that before, here.

Politicians? Maybe, but find me any group of more than 2 people that does NOT have some element of politics involved, even animals do it, it’s what prevents us having to simply kill people we disagree with - ask Brundlefly! :wink:

This is relevant:

Politicks is the science of good sense, applied to public affairs, and, as those are forever changing, what is wisdom to-day would be folly and perhaps, ruin to-morrow. Politicks is not a science so properly as a business. It cannot have fixed principles, from which a wise man would never swerve, unless the inconstancy of men’s view of interest and the capriciousness of the tempers could be fixed. [Fisher Ames (1758-1808)]
