Philosophy Wire by Spiros Kakos [2016-08-22]: Coffee seems to be a shield against cancer. [1] We are so much into believing the universe and ourselves are just machines, that we look into other things that may “fix” us when we do not “operate” correctly. Like a computer, we are looking for the proper antivirus. But we are not computers. We are not machines. We are living, breathings souls. We do not live or die. We do not grow or decay. We are always children. And we will live for ever. No matter how much coffee we drink or not drink.
