Just saw this on Quora, and immediately thought of Doug - Vulpis - 06-11-2022
Like the title says..

teal deer version, it's a bunch of hypothetical reactions of muggleborn (or half-bloods) coming to Hogwarts from the non-wizarding world.
(On a side note, I'm guessing that Doug is never going to end up in the World of Darkness and bump into the Technocracy? Because it seems the missing element in the GUT he describes is that he treats magic and science/technology as different things, rather than the latter being just being another 'tradition' of the former... See Clarke's Law, the corollary, and the Florence Ambrose commentary....)
Edit: Gah, thought it was one picture with the whole thing, not just one portion. What I wanted was in https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-best-Harry-Potter-canons-or-theories-that-you-have-seen
third one down (as of this posting), by Finch Darcy.
Edit2: Or maybe better, first entry in https://www.quora.com/What-are-some-strange-Harry-Potter-theories-you-think-should-be-more-popular

Oh, those are great.
And no, Doug doesn't go to the World of Darkness. Ever. As the person who wrote the official GURPS adaptation of Mage: The Ascension back in the 90s, I have to admit I find its cosmology stupid and annoying.

You know who's responsible for the stupid cosmology? The Technocracy, of course.
