Imagine posting this today: cite your sources, anecdotes are meaningless, n of 1, etc. It's interesting that "Many people claim coffee inspires them, but, as everybody knows, coffee only makes boring people even more boring." aligns with the recent post about caffeine boosting work capacity but no effect on creativity.

I find that dubious, to say the least. When it comes to understanding the effects of drugs, we have learned through untold human suffering that the scientific approach is the best one we know of.
