I read his one of his books in the 90s, in which he talked about how he believed in magic (specifically a rather hardline interpretation of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_attraction_(New_Thought... via 'quantum' magic). He's been fairly out there for a while.

What book was that? All his books published prior to the 2000s were Dilbert compilations, so you might have the wrong date or the wrong person.

The Dilbert Future (1997), apparently (ref https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Scott_Adams#Adams_knows_The_Se...)

Idk about the law of attraction, but I can say one thing for sure: if you don't believe in the law of attraction it will never come true
