Sure, but I am more interested in this idea of whether alchemy is a fundamental and substantial part of Taoism, and then also the question of whatever negatives may come with that (if it is actually true), is Taoism in the aggregate net beneficial to humanity, or not. I'm curious if you have any thoughts on the matter.
