Ray Peat and Voltaire were right about coffee

[Yalbadoth]

By no means am I a strict Peater, but by just having multiple cups of coffee a day I have managed to feel the most alive and focused I have in ages. Im reading and writing more, my mind’s bounds stretch farther. Weirdly i can have multiple energy drinks, but the effect does not feel as profound, strange phenomenon.

I aspire to get to levels Voltaire got to, if only I was about at the peak of coffee culture in europe, the decline of from what they had, intellectuals, gathering to drink a beverage that focuses the mind and stimulates the CNS, discussing ideas that are paramount to civilisation as it is today, to now, shitty local coffee shops and mega-jew corporate slop centres, where the only intellectual discussion in the whole building is by the immigrants fixing the toilet.


Take the coffee pill (tea as well if you reside in the isles like me)

What kind of books do you read?

What kind of books do you read?

I like to read an equal amount of fiction and non-fiction (probably slightly more non-fiction though) Currently reading Hegel’s phenomenology of spirit and David Foster Wallace’s infinite jest (especially recommend infinite jest). But I read a wide range of things, next on my list is Spinoza’s ethics and Anthony Bourdains kitchen confidential. I only really picked up serious non-academic reading within the last year, mainly to prepare my mind for university, but I found a certain joy in it which has captivated me.

Hegels magnus opus is meaningless, i have discontinued observing my finishing of it.

Have you heard of Jack Gordon? If so what is your opinion on him?
