Progressing toward a sortition-based democracy transforms passive citizens (that don’t vote) into proactive citizens (that subsume politics).

basically… if you want to assume coffee is good for you that’s fine, but you have a slightly more difficult time to do all those other things which you already know are good for you anyway. if that is the case, then it won’t matter weather the coffee is creating the health benifits or it’s just you.

so you can drink coffee knowing you’ll have to try harder, but live longer presumably from the antioxidants–and whatever of those other 1000 chemicals from the slow roasting process we don’t understand yet that have magical powers. (a few of which we think are carcinogenic but apparently pretty benign or negated by the other chemicals that we are also discovering which actually somehow cures cancer too–which you forgot to list in your list of ironic juxtaposed excerpts)

it is a pretty sketchy and convoluted topic. there’s basically some probably good health benifits, and a few minor problems it seems.

being an avid coffee drinker, and excerciser, and intellectual and recovering substance abuser, i feel gives me a frame of reference for all of its paradoxes. i feel i know exactly what this is all about. i am going to theorize that decaffinated coffee drinkers would not exhibit the same co-dependence on other substances etc. bad habits. also, i forsee starbucks slow roasted toxins filtered coffee (possibly the good molecules amplified either genetically or through concentrated factory processes).

luv y’all <3 peace.

When you account for those known bad behaviors, coffee drinkers live longer. That’s either due to the coffee or possibly additional behaviors that weren’t accounted for.
