Ep 78: Money Messiah Pt 5. "Alchemy & The Philosopher's Stone" with John Vallis
Jul 24 2022 • 1hr 28m
Show Notes
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.

Wake up pod (aka contraplient pod) and rapid fire pod (aka the meaning of Bitcoin pod) are probably my #1 and #2 pods right now. this episode was killer. if anyone is on the self discovery ego death rabbit hole, I highly recommend anything these two put out!

History of Religious Ideas is a fantastic book. Well worth the read. Thanks both for this conversation. I have a feeling this series will be considered a classic in a few years. Must listen for philosophically minded Bitcoiners.

who’s Eric? would love to listen or read anything from him… this is a very interesting topic, and I suppose brings Christianity truly into the 21st century. taking the wisdom of the past and including what we have learnt since then…
