Andrei Georgescu is a writer, a poet, an artist, and an insightful mind. He has grappled with the complexities of the human physiology for years, out of necessity if for no other reason, and it was because of an essay on the topic of diet that I first ran across Andrei's work. Our discussion centers around this topic, which was a concern shared by Friedrich Nietzsche: how diet affects one's mood, mental state, and overall emotional and physical health; how to fine-tune one's diet to their own needs; how to assess the effect of a given diet. Andrei reflects on how this became a central issue for him, how he felt abandoned by the health system in his quest, and how writing about the many attempts - ancient and modern - to solve the deep questions of "Belly Alchemy". Of course, we could not limit our discussion to just this topic, and ended up discussing other complex systems - such as political and economic systems, another topic that Andrei has written about in his essay on "Romanian Communism and American Capitalism". And, of course, those old questions about the meaning of life always come up.
