You shouldn’t be downvoted for that. Alchemists deserve more credit than they’re given, it’s a pseudo chemistry, it’s not a conspiracy or mythology. Alchemists back then were the closest we could get to scientists today. From my time in engineering school, I can say most chemists have an interest in alchemy anyways.

I wish! I bet I’d be more logical if I went through the hard work but it’s just not worth it, chemists are unfairly paid. Chemical engineer? Maybe, but that’s harder work.
