"We share the same soul, the same spark of consciousness." "Lol grandma is nice but uneducated. She doesn't understand that those people should be hated and we have nothing to learn from them."

Summarizing a bit: Your ability to do magic increases as you are able to weave more and more complex situations into a rainbow tapestry. Most people don't care to learn from grandma's weaving.

Dancers would have been the magicians at one time. Then storytellers, then storywriters. In fact everyone is a magician. The rainbow is conscious existence. The former examples are especially magical b/c they are *group* magic. They make groups do the impossible.

There's something that has always felt off to me about how highly valued STEM is. It's not that is shouldn't be, but that it groups together fields such as engineering (which is application) and science, which is exploratory and could just as well be grouped into music or art imo

The only reason they seem far apart is because their math requirements are so far apart and the math education often so bad.

Music for example doesn't require a strong math education b/c it so full of heuristics and mimesis that first principle reasoning isn't necessary. (Despite how mathematical music can be.)

Some cultures have too much dying impotent magic and refuse to touch STEM. Some have the opposite problem. They refuse to touch magic with a 10 foot pole even as they die in their sterile virtual realities.

Politicians are technically social magicians as well but they're like overly robotic and algorithmic with the magic. Instead of wielding it by being especially in-tune with Flow they actively disregard Flow as something to be managed and minimized. They're illusionists.
