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.
