As I stated in another comment, I quite caffeine a few years back for about 5-6 months. I functioned well enough, but the haze never really left me. Since then, I have been able to contain my intake to a certain limit during certain hours. But it is still a compromise. The ability to sleep soundly a few nights in a row, as of late, is enough to convince me I need to find a different way. And to accept a slower, less crackling sense of what creativity is and means.
But as odd as it may sound I think that caffeine and how most of our lives are set up (for us) are related. It is the lack of connection to community, to beauty, to the natural meaning of growing things, building things and fixing things, that drive us to less satisfying alternatives. The past 80 years or more of "modern" city design is no small thing to overcome.
