1/ Is there a model that can't be modeled? It would have to change each time it ran but in a non-predictable way. It would have to have no loops. The only model that fit is "Life"

When magic is used to enforce these boundaries for the sake of protection it is good. E.g. not letting the knowledge of nuclear bombs being known by EVERYONE. It is bad when used to exclude, the draw into two sides and label one as good and the other as bad.

Untrained wizards become evil because they never had anyone to teach them to channel their power. It grows wild and unstable. Coupled with the loneliness, it can become powerful yet perverse.

Parents know that when a child has the Light they needed to be sent to the best schools. That was their responsibility, to serve this Light.

Problem is the wizards stopped serving, their lives became obviously better than the muggles. People started pretending their children had the Light. They forced them to mimic all aspects of having light.

Because Light had become seen as a privilge instead of a responsibility, it became corrupted as people pretended to have it. None of the wizards could actually banish the demon when it came. They all had diplomas of wizardry but no actual wizardry.

Not everyone can be a wizard and that's a good thing. If a society is propping wizardry as some sort of aspiration, it will eventually collapse.

It should be fine being normal. That's what's been lost when we killed God. Religion taught that we could be Great just by being Good. That we were bearers of the flame already, that we did not need to steal more.

Now we can only feel Great by having IMPACT. We need to do stuff, lots' of stuff, all the stuff. Everyone wants to be seen by everyone else. Greatness became measurable.

We invented a sideways figure 8 and imagined we understood infinity. We took the infinite Greatness of reality and compressed it into something we thought we understood. We never grow up knowing the infinity of greatness so we take on stupid violent tasks to gain it.
