Thats a gross mischaracterization of the ancients. Anyway, those crazies came up with atomistic theory to explain silly myths.... and ended up explaining phase change as an emergent phenomenon.

PhD is a license to teach (i.e. doctor) philosophy. Specifically, in "science" fields, natural philosophy. Natural philosophy was the original (and i think better) name for science, especially physics. It was understood to be an

The RDA is used to set policy for institutions which do effect people. No matter how stupid an "official" recommendation is, institutions take it seriously because following it deflects blame if something happens.

Evacuated tube? Like the heat pipes on you CPU? Sure, but completely unnecessary unless you want to get rid of the pump [1]. And why get rid of the pump to substitute it with an evacuated tube? [1] which you don't even need if you rout

So does artificial light, probably more drastically than an afternoon caffeine. But is there a well established causal chain of coffee drinkers hurting others from their coffee induced insomnia mental breakdown?

You want to compare a day with a bad headache from caffeine withdrawal to the devastation caused by schizophrenia? To car crashes? And who are coffee's non-using victims? Co-workers putting up with Mr. Grouchie for a day or two?

I believe that. There is no doubt in my mind that a good portion of substance abuse is driven by what are issues relating to societal collapse. I dont really blame drug users for what is usually escapism from our industrialized society rat

And aside from the jitters, what harm does caffeine cause? Does it cause break downs in families and car fatalities like alcohol? Does it trigger latent schizophrenia in susceptible individuals like canabis? Does it create zombies like what

Could we start a conversation on the externalities of alcohol consumption? That'd be great. Lets start by putting a 100% sales tax + $1/50ml ethanol on alcohol. Let's see how inelastic alcohol consumption really is.
