The World of Illusion!
Scientists have discovered that while regular coffee drinkers "feel alerted by caffeine, especially by their morning tea, coffee, or other caffeine-containing drink, evidence suggests that this is actually merely the reversal of the fatiguing effects of acute caffeine withdrawal."
Same diff, I say.
Does it really matter if that little pick-me-up is real, or an illusion? Especially when some other scientists — those wacky "string theorists" namely — "are exploring a possible scenario in which people and the world around us are actually a 3-D holographic projection of two-dimensional data that exists outside the accessible universe."
Even if it is (and it sounds perfectly plausible to me) I still need my holographic coffee in the morning. Some of us 3-D projections have to work for a living, y'know?


























I am blessedly innocent of a lot of contemporary philosophy and theory. I'm pretty much behind Freud's comment, made near the end of his life, that sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
I believe that there probably are space aliens, but I also believe that they aren't responsible for all the significant advances in human experience. And my morning coffee is made from beans I grind myself, it's not a projection of anything other than my need for a fix of caffeine.
