Doing lots of cognition heavy tasks also seems to correlate with lower dementia risk; Basicly the premise of "brain workout" apps. Thought I think if you're going to be doing brain exercises, that time would be better spent learning a new langauge or learning math or physics or art.

Incidently, People who study or do a lot of thinking heavy deep work also tend to be coffee addicts. coincidence?

Coffee can be quite expensive, and thinking work that requires a lot of education tends to correlate with higher income, so I wonder if coffee drinking just acted as another wealth indicator.

You can get very, very cheap coffee.

Good coffee can be expensive, I agree with that.
