Well, technology is quite literally just applied science/physics, so… even a stick is a piece of technology, technically speaking. The wheel, is technology.

The problem is so many, TOO many, think that magic is some specific something, like glowing blue goo, rather than a way of looking at something. That glowing blue goo may not be seen as magic by some sufficiently high iq alien who understands it as just another facet or product of physics.

You’ll notice that magic is a game of punking. “No it’s magic!”, “No it’s Magick!”, “No it’s a miracle!”, “No it’s science!”, etc. Magic by any other name.

Magic is ironic and full of pretension.
