Emergent Magick is not anti-science, it is anti-scientism. Scientific materialism will never find a universal theory. It will never explain human experience. We have been studying the placebo effect since the 19th century. While researchers can identify changes in brain chemistry caused by placebos, we have yet to identify the mechanism that causes them in the first place. The obvious answer is consciousness, which is always discarded by laboratory scientists as it is unmeasurable and unqualifiable. Even scientists have admitted that reproducible experiments are getting harder to come by as we continue to find increasing complexities. It just may be that some things will never be explained without acknowledging magick’s role in the universe.
