Dr. Jack Kruse strikes me as the kind of person who is smart enough to sound right even though he’s completely wrong. It seems that way because in the recent interview with Huberman on #Tetragrammaton he got a lot wrong, which makes me think… could his main thesis possibly still be right? #jackkruse

I agree with this assessment. He’s definitely smart, well read, and has put in the work to back up his claims very we’ll verbally.
He admits none of his theories are tested with controls and the scientific method. He also does get a lot of little things wrong I noticed as well, which erodes my confidence a bit.
But overall, I think humanity needs these out of the box thinkers. Just like we needed a patent clerk from Switzerland to come out of nowhere with four papers that changed the world.
He’s coming up with crazy theories, which if true could be groundbreaking and we need others to test it out, perhaps?
Yeah exactly! Crazy ideas are great. Let’s get them all, and then let’s use the best methods available to determine if they are correct. Especially his critique of standard psychology without light controls. That’s a specific, testable hypothesis: varying the light will significantly impact most things. Let’s go!
That was a wild episode but honestly life-altering. I’m midway through Epi- Paleo RX. A ton of notes and I appreciate that he sources his info. It makes sense, but I also don’t know enough to assess HOW much sense. 
What did he get wrong?
It’s been a while, I should have recorded them while listening. I’ll try to remember to update this here if I listen to another one of his things. I just remember a bunch of times in the couple of hours long podcast that while his words seemed give the impression of expertise, he was talking beyond his actual grasp of physics.
Annoyingly people do that all the time. I don’t know why. I’m sure I do too. I figure it happens when you learn enough to explain x % of the world well enough that people agree with you, extend that knowledge from interpolation to extrapolation while creating a model for the world, and then fail to notice that the dots you’re connecting don’t actually connect. This results in creating noise rather than signal.
This wasn’t exactly one of those moments, but i remember having the specific question of why he is so worried about GHz radiation but not worried about the much more energetic THz radiation that every molecules in our bodies continuously emit.
