Caffeine is shit, and if you came up to me and suggested banning it I would shoot you in the face and burn your remains.

Looking back, this post was correct. Ban caffeine now!

Totally correct take.

It is banned by the Mormons, the fastest-growing religious group in the US.
It was originally banned by the Vatican as well, as a heathen drink, until the Church saw well it kept monks up at night to copy manuscripts.
But, agreed, Adderall should be OTC as it is a superior stimulant by any measure.

Coffee was available in europe a couple of centuries before the printing press.

Back in this thread to reiterate that it's shit - every now and then I'm reminded of just how much worse my concentration, memory, and coherence is when I'm on caffeine, and it becomes visceral.

There's both an anxiety and a numbness which comes with consumption of caffeine; it sounds paradoxical, but it's true. It makes it both difficult to face emotionally difficult things, and difficult to prioritize them.

Reading, when I put my mind to it, is much easier without caffeine than with. So is writing, and patience in general.
