Dream of future alchemists
Or a metahuman lying a philosopher’s egg
Alchemy is a favorite topic of mine, a perfect metaphor of the human mind and it’s somewhat erratic behavior: The tendency to fabricate mythologies and self-destruct defending them as truths, instead of accepting reality.
After a coded text written by famous Alchemist John Dee and decrypted by historians in 2019 [ 1 ], the recipe to make a philosopher’s stone – desired object that gives eternal life and turns common metals into gold-, starts with a Philosopher’s EGG. It is unclear what this egg really is, and instead of choosing among theories, I decided to speculate around that open concept, and let some Ideas flow.
