>If Magick is real why are most magick users losers and no magick users hyper sucsessful?
Magick is a skill like any other, some have talent some don't. If it weren't real among the hyper-successful Microsoft wouldn't have skipped Windows 9.

They also skipped Windows 4 5 6... what's wrong with those?

4=work (as in work you have to put in)
5=stop (saturnian stuff, you can look that up more)
6=self (as in reflections on it come back at you when you put it out into the world)
9=death (just look into how many products were pushed by people who didn't know and died off at version 9)

that can be a good thing, like the product was so good that people could 'retire' in good faith...

Not to a corporate egregore seeking to sustain itself. Computing peaked in the late-90's/early-00's. Since then it has taken the tack of the auto or fashion industry: put out different styles/flavors, when they get stale recycle them. This necessarily means reduced functionality because you can't reduce things down to a style/flavor without cutting out functionality for all the others. The model applies to tangible goods, it does not apply to intangible goods such as bits in a machine. So they've taken up the stance of adopting the latest fad libraries to achieve a goal, a style, and crafting everything around that, instead of continuing on the path of 'it should do anything and everything as efficiently as possible,' because when things are efficient there's no 'need' to buy new hardware - no 'need' to buy new versions, no 'need' to subscribe to upgrades. If you make your customers satisfied for life that loses you customers. This is somewhat real in the sense that good companies are guaranteed to drive themselves out of business, then when future customers are born no one is around to make them things, except the bad companies who never drove themselves out of business by saturating the market with reliably-designed products. At some point being 'good' means being 'bad' because you can not sustain to outproduce the 'bad' guys if you can't play on the terms of the reality in which you exist.
