The abandonment of magic made possible the upsurge of technology?
“It was the abandonment of magic which made possible the upsurge of technology, not the other way round. Indeed, as Max Weber stressed, magic was potentially ‘one of the most serious obstructions to the rationalisation of economic life’. The technological primacy of Western civilization, it can be argued, owes a sizeable debt to the fact that in Europe recourse to magic was to prove less ineradicable than in other parts of the world”. - Keith Thomas, Religion and the Decline of Magic
Max Weber in the Realm of Enchantment - By J.J.Storm
"Weber is not the actual source of the notion of science as anti-magic. He also did not argue for the movement of thought from magic to religion to science often mistakenly attributed to him. Finally, “the disenchantment of the world” does not mean the complete extirpation of belief in magic or spirits."

The bullshitters guide to enlightenment
The bullshitter will spend a lot of time talking about doing something using many fancy words and exotic rituals. He will sell you the illusion of a much "better" reality that seems impossibly hard to attain, except if you follow the ways of the bullshitter. He will promise prosperity, clarity and enlightenment - and yet only deliver confusion and bullshit, to keep the ponzi scheme going.

No evidence for nudging after adjusting for publication bias
Wonder wonder, the scientific basis on which the works of the hordes of social engineers working in big tech, big-ad, big pharma and big government is build, is nonscientific bullshit.
Insert any of the countless Covid related headline here, i can't be bothered.
It's safe to assume that the criminal energy and levels of insanity of the primary players involved in the Covid operation is 100x bigger than what's on display.
