Followed for the hype, unfollowed for the ScIeNCe.

Saccades mean your eyes constantly flicker the signal to your brain on and off. That is just how your eyes work. Your brain fills in the gaps with predictions of what it guessed was in those gaps to create smooth movement in your vision. Don't believe me? Go watch TV. It is just a series of still images at a rate that the saccade rate causes your brain to perceive as movement

You literally would be a melting ball of stress every second of every day spent awake under every type of light source if flickering stressed you out.

Think about how amazing your brain is to constantly and accurately fill in those gaps in your vision. Far cooler than BS influencer ScIeNCe.

I beg to differ. But I would say that blue light after sundown is worse than the flickering… Listen to What Is Money? Show with Dr. Jack Kruse episodes. Quite interesting stuff. https://fountain.fm/episode/lELl4OmC8UTUdpKTBee4

Kruse is another quack and I've wasted far too much time posting rebuttals to his BS also. I will not be drawn in to having more of my brain cells killed by his garbage by clicking that link. I'll leave it at standing in the sun the light on a clear day is several orders of magnitude greater than your cell phone pressed directly against your eyeball. If you get any morning real sunlight even your TV is nowhere near bright enough to override that signal. Only putting your face against 100w or 200w LED plant lights is close to a substitute.

Get a lux meter app for your phone and check for yourself instead of listening to snake oil salesmen.

The reason being on my phone too close to bed keeps me up at night is because I see stupid shit like this and get pissed off.

😂 Fair enough. I can buy that! Love the passion.
