Its not only the content but blue light actually releases dopamine independent of content. Apple and Google know this i believe they have patents on it. Similar to coke having caffeine (and once cocaine) in it, all the best and most successful products are addictive. Turn your screen to grey scale or red shift the screen, way less interesting. Also get out side, look at the morning sun. #drjackkruse

Look at the sun? 😏
uh. If you want to lose part of your vision, sure.
There is light sensors all over the body, even quite deep inside that are connected to the endocrine system. The ones in the eyes, and the pineal gland itself respond to light by releasing hormones that start the wake-up process.
The best trigger for it is sunlight, but it obviously shouldn't be direct. Second best is blue light, the most potent frequency happens to be the same one in blue LEDs. Which is why it should be criminal to use blue lights on devices that are likely to be near you when you should be sleeping.
Yes, early AM sun has almost no UV. You can look 10-15 degrees off if you like.
What's Kruse doing these days? I was absolutely fascinated by his idea of a virus causing rapid mutations in the early stages of the Dryas but after reading Apocalypse of Yajnavalkya I much prefer a simpler, theory.
The idea that 40,000 years ago a star blew up, blasted the earth with cosmic/x/gamma rays, sterilised Australia and Antarctica, and on the margins some humans who were not killed by it lost a few genes, namely ones involving melanin and the one that turns off lactose metabolism after infancy, among other things (and led to a dramatic increase in neural connectivity).
The idea that the HERV, being related to "leaky gut" - an intolerance for plant proteins that increased ingress of viral particles into the blood is quite interesting, there probably is something to it, since it's plain by the DNA we have a virus in our gene pool that no longer can reproduce.
But the white/milk mutation predates the HERV by a long time, and there is plenty of evidence pointing towards the idea that the diversity of humans now is far less than it was back then, and rather than the more mainstream theory that humans killed off neanderthals and erectus and others, that actually we were still able to breed with them and the survivorship bias kicks into the scientific analysis, not realising that DNA can be latent and still continue to be transmitted forward in time.
Anyhow, yeah, Andrew Huberman is a recently popular biohacker/optimal type guy, his specialisation is neurology, and it's really worth checking out some of the things he recommends, notably the physiological sigh.
Dr. Kruse is great and this theories and explanations of why things work the way they do are insanely complex. But like with most things that are true, the “why” is outside the comprehension of most of us, but the perceptions are simple.
More good light less bad.
Our modern lifestyle is a sin against our biology. Why 40% Americans now have a chronic disease. The wages of sin are death, applies both spiritually and physically.
I firmly believe the stuff about radio waves disrupting the endocrine clocks though.
That's why I connect my laptop via ethernet cables and the phone is over 10 metres away, and why I am pissed that I didn't keep my wired dual driver speakers instead of these ultra annoying bluetooth units, that constantly flip stereo channels and I have to remove and re-pair every time I change to windows to play games.
When I was young, I always thought the communications technologies of the future worked with photons and entanglement. But here we are, millimetre waves everywhere, some of them ionising oxygen in our blood. (20ghz, used in 5G).
Yep the science on the biological harm is overwhelming. Just shadow band, or suppressed.
Congress passed a law that make it illegal to regulate telecom tech on the basis of health.
I include RF in the definition of “light”.
Invisibly Rainbow is a good book on the subject
*Invisible Rainbow
I think that due to wavelength, it is impossible to easily produce antennae that receive "photons" but fundamentally you are correct. Photons are just electrons with shorter wavelengths, that interact only with nanometre sized objects, mainly molecules.
This also means that there should be a way to catch the joules from either and convert them to electricity and vice versa. Look at quantum dots. These are just tiny little bits of metal that catch and sling back specific wavelengths by their shape and the electrostatic lensing effect. Not only that, but I remember reading about other experiments that showed that you can construct nanoparticles out of one material, at the right size, they behave like another material, for example, I think they made aluminium nanoclusters behave like gold.
This is the kind of facts that make me quite certain that all matter, both radiation particles and matter particles, are only different in their number of monents of rotation. Radiative particles have 1 or 2 axes of spin, where matter has 3. The 3 way spin orbits itself, whereas the 1 and 2 way spins are passive along one axis. And that leads me to the key element of my physics hypothesis: that the SPACE is made of an incompressible, inert, constantly dividing substance, and that photon/electron particles are like surfers riding the wave of expansion, and that what we call light speed is actually that expansion pattern, and further, that these electron/photon particles are constantly orbiting, most of them paired, and undetectable due to their almost perfectly balanced charges, but regardless, push matter towards the mass centre via an effect similar to surface tension, an invisible cloud around matter that optimises to a sphere when two such clouds start to merge.
And that also means that if you can direct electrons to resonate at maximum frequency/minimum wavelength, they behave like balanced atomic particles, but are in constant motion, probably due to having 4 rotational vectors, and with this you can control the direction of the space expansion, ie, zero out your mass and travel at the speed of light. Teleportation is then just about capturing the waveform of an object and causing it to be carried across a singular thread of these fundamental space particles, with precisely the right "punch" that it appears instantaneously in a new position.
I'm sure that I'm going to be vindicated in this model. It's far simpler than the mainstream physics theories, it's pure relativistic, and still enables zero time of travel quantum effects via the incompressibility of space.
