Schizo failed alchemists are better than twitter schizos.

"The schematized body of the alchemist is shown in perfect balance with the Four Elements as depicted by his arms and legs. His feet protrude from behind the central emblem, and one is on Earth and the other in Water, indicating he is grounded in the real world. In his right hand is a torch of Fire and in his left hand a feather symbolizing Air. Although he is firmly planted in the world of matter, the alchemist has easy access to the powers of spirit."
Why not some functional encyclopedia articles?
This one would be downright great if it weren't written in the Communist-Bureaucrat style. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire-control_system
Keeping the disappointment theme, there are four kinds of bird wings. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bird_wing
Why doesn't every wiki article on birds include its wing type? Why doesn't every non-bird include a footprint? This is basic stuff, man. At least this article does exist.
Something that everyone knows, provided you went to a school with a science curriculum. Simple basic fundamental origin physics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_ray_spallation
(So, nobody knows this.)
Apparently I deeply enjoy Jacob Philipp Hackert. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gouache If I want photorealistic images, I can go outside. Full 3D, multisensorial, etc etc. There's something deeply satisfying about that particular style of unrealism. They aren't funtime neon colours, and they're still [better than real] colours.
The horking french exhalation [gouache] means mud, by the way. These are mud paints. We're not french and don't have to spell it mucghtdze.
"What if mud were blue instead of brown?" Then, gouache.
I notice that apparently stylizing relies heavily on trees.There's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_gall_ink and mud paint critically relies on gum arabic. [[Advanced technology]] lol. It can be called less-crude, at best.
The contrast with the alchemy is still painful. Moderns are allergic to style. I would guess they're trying not to excite the passions, lol...
Although in toto the fall is quite inevitable, there is no good reason we have to fall with them. If you look up, and I also look up, then we are, together, not falling. When they want to drag you down, simply decline. "I'm good, thanks for the offer."

"In simplest terms, the King and Queen represent the raw materials of our experience – thoughts and feelings – with which the alchemist works. The King symbolizes the power of thought and planning, which are characteristics of spirit. The Queen stands for the influence of feelings and emotions, which are ultimately the chaotic First Matter of the soul. The much heralded marriage of the King and Queen produces a state of consciousness best described as a feeling intellect, which can be raised and purified to produce a state of perfect intuition, that Egyptian alchemists referred to as “Intelligence of the Heart.” This special kind of intelligence or way of knowing is at work in the alchemist"
Operation 1: calcination. Wherein we burn our pride to ash. That we may one day have something to proud about.
Operation 2: dissolution. The salts of pride are dissolved, as are the rigid supports that upheld the useless vainglory. If the rule only got you to here, what use was the rule? Bust out the solvent.
Operation 3: separation. We don't discard these solutions. The essences are centrifuged and distilled, that we might, though not simply, recover their virtues.
As you know, it is important to learn mathematics, the language of god. As you may have forgotten, it is exactly as important to learn to transliterate mathematics into the language of mortals. Especially when the process produces pretty pictures and evocative images.
There is no reason it has to be only math. There is no reason it can be only math.
