Insofar as the word 'should' even has meaning, then we must say that the past is exactly as it should be, everything that happened should have happened, and everything that should happen will happen

"Given your comprehensive exploration of alchemy's historical, psychological, and even scientific dimensions, what single aspect or insight from your research do you believe is most relevant or impactful for us to consider in the present day, particularly in the context of our increasingly technology-driven world and the ethical considerations that come with rapid advancements?"

My question would be on the meaning of Alchemy to him.
Alchemy has been seen as spiritual transformation, early chemistry, and a metaphor for growth. Did your research highlight one interpretation as the most compelling?

I appreciate how the author relates the ancient practice of alchemy with spirituality and mysticism. If I could ask the author one question about the book, I would ask what inspired him to write a book on Alchemy.

I would ask the author what made him write about such a controversial topic in a way, as there is a large discussion about Alchemy still in our society, which intrigues me a lot about his confidence and courage to talk about it in a book such as "The Riddle of Alchemy".
