Most of our law, too much of our medicine, & an increasingly onerous share of our education, is filled with the exigencies of magic ritual. In this mileu, clear thinking is at best a handicap; at worst, heresy. Magic never died, because as the masses were disenfranchised of their contact with the land, so was its logic erased from the book of representations. What took its place is arbitrary & unreal. I have not wanted to waste my time learning the rules of games they would never let me play.
(Yet it turns out--i did.)
