中国ではお茶が眠気覚ましの薬として仏教寺院で利用されてきました。

煎じて飲まずに粉末にして苦いものを飲んでいました。この飲み方が「抹茶」です。
日本には広東省の寺院から伝えられました。
広東語では「茶」を「チャー」とよぶので、日本語の「チャ」が生まれました。
一方、ヨーロッパには福建省の港から茶が運ばれていきました。
福建省では「茶」を「テ」と発音し、これが英語の「ティー」となったのです。

チャが招いた米独立・アヘン戦争 カフェイン、人々を翻弄 - 日本経済新聞
ペットボトルの「濃いお茶」が好きだ。お茶はチャというツバキ科の植物から作られる。チャは、中国原産の植物である。これに対して、日本にはチャと同じ仲間にツバキがある。どうして、日本人はツバキを飲まなかったのだろう？植物分類学上、よく似たチャとツバキには、大きな違いがある。それは、チャがカフェインを含んでいるということにある。このカフェインこそが、世界の人々を狂わせてきた。お茶はもともと薬であった

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative.
A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

Guo Gu’s Chan Path to Freedom talk is one of those philosophical documents I come back to and rediscover again and again. Even after everything I’ve learned here with the monks he and his master Sheng Yen really do seem to be the real deal.

小売店が総合型の小売りチェーンから衣料品や家庭用品、めがねなど専門型に主役がシフトしたように、消費が成熟すると商品の役割もさらに細かくなる。とりわけ日本は「細かすぎる」ことへのこだわりは強く、ニッチ大国だ。近年のヒットもプチヒットが続く。2024年に生活・家電用品を手掛けるドウシシャの、ふくらはぎをケアする「ゴリラのひとつかみ」がヒットした。開発担当者がサンプル作りを発注するとき、設定をミス。

Humans are not meant to feel constantly on the high alert and under threat. Unfortunately it’s really a threat but since we cannot do much about it, we must sometimes de stress. This is in part why I post mostly art, science, etc. I don’t want all my joy stolen from me. And I love the responses

I hope no one ever follows Ukraine's steps and disarms in exchange for promises of acceptance and security. It only leads to disdain, dismissal, and death.
