"The alchemists interpreted reality as having a fractal-like structure, and that therefore truths revealed in the microcosm, could be applied to the macrocosm, and visa versa"

The series continues...

John and I explore Alchemy - an absolutely fascinating subject.

If you've not yet listened to part 1, 2 3 and 4 go back and listen to that first for fuller context.

Episode #70, #71, #72 and #77

In this episode, we ask:

- What is Alchemy?

- What was its pursuit?

- Why is Satoshi “The Alchemist”?

- Is Bitcoin The Philosopher's Stone?

- Are Bitcoiners the modern Alchemists?

- Why do some people succumb to Bitcoin Derangement Syndrome?

- What is a Heirophany?

And are Bitcoiners the first of the regenerative hero’s to undergo the process of internal value re-organisation?

--> Carl Jung refers to these people, who are first to encounter such novelty, as the ‘most refined and differentiated minds of the age’, who ‘detect emergent anomaly, and begin the process of adaptation to it, long before the average person notices any change whatsoever in circumstance.

This was one of my favourite discussions.
