Welcome to the only magic journal that runs on equal parts skepticism, spreadsheets, and the occasional side-eye at my own results.
Let's get real—why do people believe anything, from laboratory science to late-night rituals? Why do some swear by "evidence-based practice," while others trust a hunch, a dream, or a coin toss? The real kicker: science and so-called 'mysticism' aren't as different as you think.
If we set aside both the lab coats and the incense smoke, and view things through genuine objectivity and higher-order rationality, it's clear that both worlds are powered by the same thing: experience.
Science loves to talk about the "hypothesis-experiment-result" cycle. Magic, fortune-telling, ritual—same thing, different vocabulary. Test, observe, record. What works, gets repeated. What doesn't, gets tossed (or becomes a funny story at parties).
In the end, it's all "results science." If a method—whether it's a spell or a statistical model—can survive reality-checks, it sticks around. If not, it's out.
Some scientists love formulas but forget they only exist to explain things that actually happen.
Some mystics love intuition but forget that wishful thinking isn't a substitute for honest results.
Both get lost when they stop asking why and start demanding blind trust—either in the math or the magic.
I've been practicing in this field for years, running my own company and working with a diverse range of clients. Yet, the more I discover, the more I find myself circling back to the same question: "Why?"
WTF Would It Work? WTF Won't It Work?!!!!
(There are days when I feel for every coder out there: sometimes, when the code magically works, you don't ask questions, you just say a quiet prayer and never, ever touch it again.)
But hey, don't let the things that trap us beat us—not even the ones with magic powers.
At the very least, we can try not to fall into blind belief—or blind skepticism.
what's the fun in life without asking why?
Ask why, test everything, keep what works, laugh about what doesn't, and never stop moving forward—because honest, rational exploration is the only stairway that goes anywhere.
This journal is my lab, my notebook, and my confessional booth—for both magical flops and unexpected wins. Most importantly, it's all real: drawn from my past records, and from whatever strange experiments I try next.
If you're here for emotional guidance, you'll be disappointed.
If you're here for good questions, brutal honesty, and results—let's see what happens when we finally ask "why" about everything.
