Blocking the light
Dr. Jack Kruse: "I'll give you another story that's linked to the Neanderthals and Homo, just so you can see that nature really is a fractal. Think about the Nubians: dark-skinned people who built the pyramids. We have all their bones right now. The ancient antiquities guys in Egypt have it. These people have perfect jaws, no malocclusions. Their skulls are thick. Their tendon insertions on their bones, they're spectacular. Now we have the mummies, who are the guys living inside the temples, who had all the money, who were centralized, and they were falling apart. They had all the diseases that people in the United States have today.
"And you know what that was the story of? That was a story of blocking the light. See it doesn't just take LED light for you to see this story throughout human history. The problem is, when are you going to see the story? When are you going to see the story of how alteration of light, water, and magnetism leads to disease. It led to diseases five thousand, six thousand years ago, just like it's leading to the disease now. But the diseases that we're seeing in the 20th and 21st century are happening at a much faster rate than they've ever happened before, because of this non-visual photoreceptor system that you just brought up, Mike. When you said, 'Jack, I don't know that much about it.' Hopefully, through this little sojourn through my brain, you'll begin to say, 'Maybe I need to learn a little bit more about the system because it seems like it might explain more things than we thought.'
"And see that's the beautiful thing about decentralization. You think what you're getting is one benefit, but what you'll find out is that the benefit you get back is asymmetric. There's a hundredfold benefit. This is the reason why I'm also passionate about bitcoin. The same thing is true. You think you're doing it just because of rehypothecation of money. But it turns out that bitcoin is going to be fully capable of ending wars in the world. There will be no reason to have them anymore. In other words, man can become fully decentralized.
"Do I think that modern man for the last five thousand years has taken a step back from an evolutionary standpoint? It's, you know, punctuated evolution like Stephen Jay Gould used to talk about. We don't look at it like that because we're the modern humans. We think that we're far and above, because we went to the moon and we did all these things. But we don't realize that even though we're living longer, we're only doing that because now we're using things that we shouldn't be using.
"And are you really living a life when do you spend more money on drugs than you do on food, or than you go on vacation? The answer is no, you're not."
