Alchemy Lesson No.11: Solidification

• Measure the width of a thought the length of an idea.
• Add a liberal (Not to be confused with Libertine) dash of prejudice and a sprinkle of xenophobia (if in season)
• You now have a solid and malleable mass with which to work.
• From your little toolbox of aphorisms and clichés you may now remove your dogmahammer.
• Being careful not to apply too much lateral pressure, hammer the concept into a shape that best represents your preconceived idea.
• The concept is almost ready, be patient.
• This next step is best employed without recourse to the use of understanding; this being an entirely unnecessary ingredient which only serves to complicate the process.
• Bake your concept in the heat of ignorance using only a narrow viewpoint oven adding equal sprinklings of mysogyny; racism and homophobia, this will serve to harden the concept without subjecting it to distracting details.
• Place all pieces in the appropriate category for future reference.
• Box and label it, confine it to the words used to describe it.

Congratulations! You have created your very own point of view.
You may now use it freely to express yourself in public, people will take note and give respect.
For the braver amongst you, you may use your concept to belittle and berate those who do not agree.
