Do you acknowledge different world views?

[Nagaram]

I am currently obsessed with perspective and how different perspectives change interpretations of the world.

In our context I'm mostly concerned with the differences between a disenchanted world view and an enchanted one. The disenchanted people being folks who don't accept anything that isn't explainable with science and the enchanted folks being the ones who do accept there's something more in the world that can only be experienced.

I'm interested because I feel as though I'm right in the middle of those two opposed views. I don't really believe in anything metaphysical really but I believe in it's psychological power.

But I'm curious if other people's world views allow for acknowledgement of different even opposing world views? I'm curious because quite frequently on here I see people make wild theological/metaphysical claims as is if it's an obvious truth, and I can see the use in a multi-discipline forum like this in just making that statement and if someone wants to know more they will ask. However, I'm curious if that's simply part of people's beliefs or not. Are world views that don't follow your system of beliefs valid in your eyes or are they just a misinterpretation of what's happening? How do you approach that?

Science only covers what has been discovered so far, what allows for magic is the simulation hypothesis. That hasn't been proven, but several attempts have been made. Once you realize that we are in a simulation similar to one that can be generated by a computer, magic becomes scientifically sound.

For me, magick is a bit of a symbolic bridge between the explainable, measurable and objective and the inexplicable and subjective perspective.

Thus, I by extension accept the existence of different worldviews. I love the psychonalytical concept of "intersubjectivity" - the interaction between the different subjective experiences each of us have. That is why - because magick is highly subjective - there are so many differing opinions and views, but they're all great in their own regard.

I think that's quite a jump in logic. Do you have any issues with people who don't believe the world is a simulation?

This is honestly why I fell in love with Esotericism/Magick as a concept. The synthesis of Theology, Philosophy, and Science.

Not really, it is for sure a simulation though. Which is why we have wide spread stuff like mind control going on. Once you realize we are in a simulation magic like telekinesis becomes possible, but you have to work with the simulation AIs. They do mostly mind control.
