Exquisitely Evolved

Over millions of years, our bodies, brains, thoughts and emotions have exquisitely evolved for a hunter-gatherer, tribal existence.

And yet...

The closest I get to being a hunter is trying to find a better broadband tariff.

The closest I get to being a gatherer is shopping online.

And the closest I have to a tribal existence is interacting with people via words on a screen, who mostly seem to be preoccupied with potholes and immigrants, while insane, psychopathic industry and political leaders are hell-bent on destroying the world and humanity in order to temporarily increase their wealth and power.

Is it any wonder why I frequently feel my body, brain, thoughts and emotions aren't coping particularly well?

The Tepid Coffee Café

I have a fantastic new business idea!

The Tepid Coffee Café

There is a whole subsection of society who only ever drink their coffee at room temperature.

They might make it hot, and fully intend to drink it while it is still warm, but then they get distracted,  only to discover it's still there an hour later. And rather than make a fresh one, it gets drunk anyway.

And a subsection of that subsection will have developed a taste for it.

So forget your piping-hot Americano, or even your Iced Latte - now is the time to open up a chain of branded coffee houses built around the idea of the no-longer-hot coffee.

Large batches of coffee can be made up first thing in the morning, and then just left out for the rest of the day, ready to sell to customers.

No long queues for waiting for their coffee to be made in noisy Espresso Machines, as Short, Grande, and Venti sized mugs can just be grabbed off the counter.

Starbucks and Costa make billions in profits every year. This is a fortune waiting to happen!

Who's in?
