I talk about the idea of Going Viral in the Internet Age. Then I link that idea to the alchemical "Emblem of Avicenna" that I use as cover art. The Eagle in that picture represents the urge to go Viral, whereas the Toad is where the "golden house" of alchemy is to be built. I also quote Ralph Waldo Emerson's essay Self-Reliance in relation to these images.

It's a good episode!
