Well, yes. But you can't break the rules in life. Can write stories abt magic that breaks laws of physics but not break laws of physics.

Ah,but if you want to tell a compelling story abt magic,you must ensure the magic obeys consistent rules,even if they're unique to the story

Yes, but I'm not disagreeing with that. It doesn't relate to my point that greater respect for reason & evidence made society advance.

I was just defending my original analogy,which is that the relation between stories &reality is like the relation between inspiration &craft

Sorry, I don't get it.

I see. Bear in mind that I'm the kind of person that sees a Jordan Peterson lecture my friends are making fun of & says "THAT GUY GETS ME"

I think it is very human to construct stories that are meaningful to us & to find meaning in stories but not that this constructs reality.
