but how is it real thinking?
it's how you live anyway, without realizing it
no, most people never used magical thinking, even in pre-historic times
in their dailyt life
the thing you are calling "magical thinking" doesn't exist
yes it does
no, it would be the same as delusion
magical thinking is a delusion
the term you refer to as "magical thinking" encompasses two things
being stupid and/or crazy
and considering the world an alive thing where life matters
or that matters in some way
no life matters
I think I should elaborate on matters
all life could die and the world would not care
it would keep on orbitting around the sun
yes, but mattering is not inconsistent with that
pagans were exceptionally fatalistic
which is slowly twirling around a black hole
"everything will die, the end"
or runs out of nuclear fuel
okay, sure
the world could end right now
there is no allah
there is no jesus
there is no yahweh
there especially is no yahweh
lets see how you feel about it in 20 years
you can call it idealism if you wish, I think that term doesn't give you the actual picture of what exists and existed in mankind's consciousness
I think certain forms of idealism could supplant "religion" for a while
idealism isn't holistic
mankind's consciousness matters not. most people do not think in meta terms
how is the average person more important than an insect
or a dog?
an insect has wants and desires'
as does a stream
hey, from your framework, they are of course not any more or any less important
there is no importance or value
in the way you think
