how do you think magic the gathering design philosophy would change in an alternate universe where you're a horse

Oats would play a bigger role.

In terms of "Yankee in King Arthur's Court" hypotheticals - do you think you are more or less equipped to guide the development of material science in a 11th-century European* society than someone with a chemistry degree?

*or Arab, or really anywhere you think would be interesting to talk about

my knowledge of alchemy is purely academic. A truly nuanced understanding of alchemy would require me to spend several years learning contemporary chemistry, and performing lab experiments. I think any modern chemist would be far more equipped than I would.

im finding it kind of interesting that the Kybalion (setting aside the fact that it's not Hermetica and was written by count olaf) constantly reassures the reader that its contents are reinforced and supported by modern, conventional scientific knowledge. is that something that's generally common among other occult texts of the time, or was that kind of a marketing gimmick to entice skeptics into engaging with it?

That was pretty common for the spiritualist era. Remember, the enlightenment just happened. People are getting new, huge, scientific discoveries every day.

The spiritualists basicslly had two options: Science is awesome and we should study spiritual phenomena like science, OR science is wrong and truth is spiritual.

(Blavatsky basically combined the two, saying that all spiritual phenomena is misunderstood scientific phenomena, and science is enough element of the true ancient wisdom tradition.)

Think of how much magic today is marketed like proper science. Look at essential oils, or how every Etsy energy healer is obsessed with resonant frequencies.

Tbh I'd argue that a lot of internet age magic is based on people reading science as an Esoteric text. These types love to find like, one published paper they can't really read, and interpret it through the lense of an occult worldview.

and on the pedestal, these words appear:

"My name is Ozymandias--hope you're enjoying my kickass sculpture of two vast and trunkless legs of stone and a shattered visage! I built it in this desert to prove an important point about Society
