On his YouTube channel, Max decodes the esoteric and philosophical undercurrent of media. His work exposes the hidden wisdom in your favorite video games, anime, and more.
In this one, we pay special attention to alchemy. What is it really? What does its strange symbolism mean? Why do alchemical themes and symbols remain so pervasive in media? We also riff on why storytellers continue to propagate esoteric symbolism in general. Max's Channel: https://rb.gy/pg34q Max's Twitter: https://twitter.com/MaxDerrat

0:00.0 | Now administering third eye drops. What alchemy truly is, at least this is how I understand it and people might disagree with me. |
0:22.0 | It's not to negate any of the |

1:07.8 | How are you, my friends? |
1:08.8 | I have been synthesizing so much information as of late for my next solo transmission which I think is going to be on the topic of |

1:42.0 | On that note, I've really been digging the work of |
1:43.8 | Jungian analyst Marie Stein lately. But anyway when it comes to digesting |
1:51.2 | and creating enjoyable nutrition and keeping that motivation up. |
1:57.6 | That's where our sponsor, Neurohacker, once again, comes in because they help me do just that because |
