    Do you know about confirmation bias? That our brain is looking for positive example for something, and actively ignores the negative examples or gives them less weight?

    What would interest me is, if there theoretically was absolute proof that there is no such thing as Chaos Magick, would you stop doing it? Or would you dismiss such proof?

      I do know about confirmation bias. Maybe that’s what is going on, but from my own perspective I don’t think so. Course if it was I guess I’d still feel that way 🤔

      If there was absolute proof that it was a waste of time I’d probably keep my decor because it’s all black pentagrams and shit and it’s metal as fuck, but Bizzle don’t dismiss evidence just because it disagrees with my worldview. I’m a weirdo, not a conservative 😂 Fortunately for my practice it’s pretty hard to prove that something doesn’t exist.

      As a counterpoint, if there was absolute proof of things beyond our physical reality- whether it’s Chaos Magick or the Universal Consciousness/God or even something as mundane as higher spacial dimensions, would you accept it? Or would you keep your eyes closed to the truth? Honestly the more we find out about the fundamental nature of reality the more convinced I am of the supernatural.
