What was the point of me making a magic filter when almost everyone in it is people I consider way ahead of myself in the realms of magic and spirituality, so therefore anything I would want to post, I would in fact not want to post, because it would never be as interesting as anything they would post on the same topic?

You and I do stuff in very different ways. For example, while I find it interesting, I am not at all into Otherkin stuff. At the same time, I do respect the fact that you (and others) are. I feel like hearing about your magic(k)al things will just be interesting in the sense that hearing about other people's paths is always interesting.

Magic(k) is not math with me (or anyone else) in calculus and you still learning to multiply. Magic(k) is more like history, in that while you might know less about Japanese history than I do, you might know more about Russian. Or even if we're both talking American history, maybe I read about black history and you read about women. There are so many different paths and perspectives on magic(k) that I don't think it's valid to say someone is better than you are. Perhaps they have more precise control at getting the results they want, but even if they tried to teach you what they know, it wouldn't work exactly the same for you.
