Relativism seems to me an obvious consequence of a magic-free worldview but to others an obvious result of anti-rationalist quasi-mysticism. When one think of this debate or clash of intuitions one can't help but wonder: why is everyone apart from Liam Kofi Bright entirely wrong?

Reza you're gonna hate me for this but I see it as falling out of Carnap and Hempel lol - I think the kind of social coordination inquiry (be it descriptive or normative) seeks to achieve will admit of many equally good conventional choices that generate adequate results.

Yes, but that doesn't amount to magic or magic-free. I think you are using the word magic in a very generous way like as it it was a proto form of experimental science a la Lynn Thorndike. Otherwise, magic as it is commonly understood is actually not a good conventional choice.
