Worth reading to the end. It's not just about coffee, but really about dependence on things which distract us from uncomfortable moments, and why it might be worth trying to reduce dependence on these things.
Although we tend to minimize the topic, reducing it to a minority with "addictive personalities" I believe managing our addictions and learning how to break habits will become a huge topic for us in the next 10 years
Then is it bad for some people to live in constant avoidance state? Alcoholism until death, anti-depressants until you stop breathing or jump off the building.
Facing uncomfortable is best case for me also, it brings more rewards. But should I fight for someone who is constantly avoiding uncomfortable moments.
Should I look at fellow human being and tell him that this is bad, this will get you nowhere?
