Will the real Merlin please stand up? Every major new development in scientific knowledge comes with a period of upheaval in what it means to do magic--or in what counts as magic, and what counts as science. This week, in providential synchronicity with a listener question, I wanted to talk about two twentieth-century depictions of Merlin in the age of industrial technology. Was he friend, foe, or fraud? Mark Twain and C.S. Lewis will help us decide. Also somebody, please, tell me what I'm supposed to think about the latest royal scandal.

I feel like the camera angle is a little steep today. Love the episode, though.

I was curious about the princess photo mess. I found a royal journalist who seemed the most unbiased. Katie Couric. Video posted 3.15.24. Called it “Where’s Kate Middleton?” The title referring in the internet cry. Also I looked up the Associated Press (AP) photo rules. Apparently you can’t submit official photos that are altered in way shape or form. Kate officiall submitted a fake photo. AP requested the original photo. Kate didn’t and submitted Meta data showing two dates that show revisions were made, but not the original date. People are questioning the meta data bc there is software to be able to change the Meta data. So AP sent that famous kill notice. Kate managed to get herself in the “Watch List” of photos, alongside North Korea. So looks like Kate messed up. It was dishonest. Another photo was also found to be altered. Again Kate had submitted as an official photo. People are upset about it bc these official photos go down as historical photos for future generations and those were a big lie. The UK media and people that follow Kate are down playing it stating she was an amateur, she’s very ill, leave her alone and so on and so on. To the point that “they” (someone) have tried to get people from bringing up Kate and turned in two other photos of Meghan and Harry reporting them they are fake. The photographers that took Megan and Prince Harry’s pregnancy announcement of Lilibet and the second picture the Christening of Archi. H&M’s children. It’s just sad. So these poor photographers had have to come out and provide the proofs, like the original photo. Mr. Misan Harriman on 3.13.24 came out with Ytube video to clear his name on the pregnancy announcement. Chris did this for his Archie Christening photo to Getty’s. Most notable is that Kate submitted her fake photos and professional photographers submitted Prince Harry’s and Meghan’s photos.

When you say that God prepares your reading list ( something that I also observe ), you’re describing synchronicity. I suspect that synchronicity is the falling apple, and we’re awaiting a new Newton .
