How Coffee Fuels Intellectual Discourse and Innovation #Shorts

In Europe, coffee and cafés similarly provided societal hubs for creative and intellectual discourse. It's where philosophers and scientists such as Voltaire and Isaac Newton could meet and discuss their work with great enthusiasm. It's famously where Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, and Albert Camus discussed their existentialist ideas together in the 20th century.

Today we have the life-changing philosophies of existentialism and absurdism because of this drink called coffee. There's a theory that says that most of the advancements in modern human civilization can be traced back to when society switched from drinking alcohol, a depressant, to coffee, a stimulant.

While there isn't any historical or scientific proof to back up this claim, there is no doubt that having a place where intellectuals could gather without the adverse effects of alcohol did a lot of good to society. Coffee became a beer replacement for socializing and consuming on workplace breaks. Big ideas float easier from minds sharpened with a hot brew.
