#Caffeine entered the West in Europe in the 1650s. Mankind has existed 99.9% without using it.
Could you go 3 months without #coffee?
Discussion
Prob not
yes I could. 🙏🏽
Can you TLDR the main message from the video, pls?
I will read through your other content, but Andrew Huberman is not against coffee, but recommends moderate intake, to respect circadian rhythm, etc
I hate coffee, so yes.
Could & have
Damn, I would have guessed it was around much longer
Beef doesn't get me high nor does it's cessation cause a hangover.
Sherlock Holmes could have existed without heroine and cocaine, but chose not too.
Well I don't know about the beef you eat, but it gets me pretty high
I don't really want to quit it, but I know I should. I'm thinking I might make an attempt in the new year.
I do like my coffee, but I only drink decaff. I know that, if I regularly drink caffeinated drinks, I get horrible headaches if I miss it, so I avoid caffeine.
Yes in fact you inspired me.
I was a high level athlete all my life with good energy levels. I started coffee when I was early 20s without really thinking about it. My energy levels waned.
Without it I feel like a million bucks don’t really miss it at all. In fact I felt a sort of malaise when consuming it that is absent from my life. Fuck coffee.
I quit all caffeine a few years ago and have never looked back. I sleep better and it's nice to not have to take regular hits of a drug to keep myself feeling "normal."
Poison
Caffeine helps a lot of people get through their day at their soul sucking jobs. Poison? It does more good than harm.
This could be reframed as “caffeine enables a society in which soul sucking jobs are normalized”
You have to give it some credit.
Sultan Murad IV decreed death to coffee drinkers in the Ottoman Empire. King Charles II dispatched spies to infiltrate London’s coffeehouses, which he saw as the original source of “false news.” During the Enlightenment, Voltaire, Rousseau and Isaac Newton could all be found talking philosophy over coffee. The cafés of Paris sheltered revolutionaries plotting the storming of the Bastille and later, served as the place authors like Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre plotted their latest books.
History is steeped in ideas sparked over cups of coffee.
amazing the effect of some considered 'benign' chemicals
“It frees us from the rhythm of the sun”
that line makes we wanna quit caffeine…
