Does he actually believe in magic?
Probably in a wider sense of the term, I imagine so.
'Do not mistake any of this as a counsel of despair. Doomscrolling is a reminder, again to allude to my first book, that our everyday factual lives are woven into an uncanny and psychopathological tapestry of myth, narrative magic, and the mysticism of ultimate things — ultimate ends, ultimate voids, death writ large.'
Gonna boost this article cos it seems relevant and I feel like it. I particularly like the doom/scroll Revelations ref.
You might not agree with everything written here, but I think it's worth a read.
