Business Is the New Alchemy
Once upon a time, before the advent of the scientific method and instant coffee, there was alchemy. This archaic model for experimentation and transmutation laid the groundwork for the practical magic we all experience in our everyday lives. And though it seems modern economic structures serve to enslave folks today, for which a revival of these ideas from "simpler times" aims to correct, we may find even greater value in the way they complement each other. What if this capitalist wasteland is no wasteland at all, but in fact the promised land dreamed of by the alchemists of old? And what if the elusive "philosopher's stone"—a metaphorical substance which could turn shit into gold, or create value from nothing, already existed in our pockets today? As we'll see, the alchemist's paradise isn't too far off.
