Anyone who throws fire is a magician, but you call them 'engineers' because you were taught to worship materialist views of reality that obscure the nature of mind in constructing reality, including fireballs. You see magic everywhere, but your materialist religion taught you that it's all just dead matter behaving according to 'laws' that 'just work' -- for no reason, it just does, because 'laws'. This is a more intelligent sounding idea to you than the laws of matter being directed by thought, because you can only conceive of thought as individual minds trapped in individual material bodies (surprise) governed by material laws of matter.

Golem religion.

The problem is the world is ungracious. Nobody acknowledges just what we have at our disposal. Everyone wants more. Materialism is magic, but it is not treated as such. Just because it exists, doesn't mean it can't be wonderful/magical. 

Even here on /x/ you have swarms of people fooling themselves, lusting for magic when they already have it. They're more or less hung up on superpowers laced with cultural backtracking, which is childish, even escapist. Understandable for 4chan. 

Perhaps they're simply not satisfied, but they should at least acknowledge the truth of their surroundings before convincing themselves of this.
