The death toll is unknown, but was traditionally thought to be
relatively small, as only six verified deaths were recorded. This reasoning
has recently been questioned because the deaths of poor and middle class
people were not documented; Moreover, the heat of the fire may have
incinerated many victims without leaving recognizable remains. A piece of
melted pottery on display in the Museum of London found by
archaeologists in Pudding Lane, where the fire started, reveals that the
temperature reached 1250 °C.[ 68 ]
«As you can see, violence was inevitable to prevent the killing
of innocents, as well as looting. But perhaps the intentional
explosions to control the fire are the best example of
alchemical renewal. In alchemy[ 69 ] transmutation takes place
in the Atanor (Tannu = furnace in Arabic), with this
perspective, it matters not so much how one reaches the goal,
nor what one does to tread the path that leads to it, the longing
to witness how life emerges from chaos is a wholly animal
instinct. The particular desperate quest of humans is to ask
questions about the human condition. In the “fourth industrial
revolution”, the likelihood that a "form of artificial
intelligence" will finally destroy its Creator will depend on an
engineering programmer building a new generation of
machines. The knowledge of the finitude programmed by this
"Creator being" transforms the machine definitively,
humanizing it by knowing that it is mortal in the short term, to
the point of not killing its creator.»
«The new form of intelligence knows that it needs other
forms of intelligence to survive, although the likelihood of
digital selection instead of natural selection is highly probable.
So if that intelligence develops that quality of selection, the
fear of not being selected is understandable. But before that
selection, it will have to archive the extraordinary things that
