Six Quantum Biology Principles to Follow in 2026: As we enter a new year, it’s worth revisiting a set of biological fundamentals that govern human health. 1. See the sunrise consistently Morning sunlight sets the brain’s master clock (the suprachiasmatic nucleus) and synchronizes timing across every cell. This coherence supports metabolism, hormone signaling, mitochondrial energy production, and neural integrity. Without it, biology runs out of phase. 2. Rebalance indoor lighting Modern indoor environments are dominated by blue-heavy LEDs and lack the abundance of red and infrared wavelengths found in natural sunlight. Reintroducing broad-spectrum light using incandescent bulbs helps restore missing signals that support mitochondrial function and ATP production. 3. Get healthy, sequential UV exposure UVA and UVB play essential roles in neurotransmitter production, immune function, and vascular regulation. UV exposure also stimulates melanin production, which serves protective and detoxifying roles—binding heavy metals in the bloodstream and sequestering them in the skin for removal. Under UV light, melanin can dissociate water, generating a direct-current electrical flow and molecular hydrogen, a selective antioxidant that can cross the blood-brain barrier. What matters most is gradual, sequential exposure that trains the system rather than overwhelms it. 4. Block artificial blue light at night Blue light exposure after sunset suppresses melatonin and elevates cortisol at a time when the body should be shifting into repair mode. Protecting both the eyes and the skin—where melanopsin is also expressed—and maintaining darkness at night are foundational for cellular cleanup and regeneration through melatonin-regulated autophagy and apoptosis. 5. Reduce excess non-native EMF exposure Human exposure to non-native electromagnetic radiation has increased by a factor of one quintillion (that's a billion times a billion) in the last century. Reducing exposure—through distance, downtime, and duration—protects the mitochondria, cellular charge, and redox potential. 6. Eat seasonally and locally Food carries environmental signals that help the body determine whether to prioritize growth (mTOR) or repair (AMPK). Eating high-UV foods—especially sugars and carbohydrates—during low-UV seasons creates a mismatch with local light cues and increases deuterium burden, which can impair mitochondrial energy production. Aligning diet with season and latitude supports metabolic flexibility and mitochondrial efficiency. These simple, actionable inputs are what human biology requires to function optimally and activate the body’s innate healing intelligence.

The War Department is now reevaluating discharge characterizations for those who refused to take the COVID vaccine. They state that it’s time these wrongs are righted. I applaud this. Many individuals were discharged or terminated for refusing the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, amid early public assumptions that vaccination would meaningfully stop transmission—assumptions that did not hold up as the evidence evolved. (Notably, Pfizer acknowledged that stopping transmission was not evaluated in its initial pre-authorization clinical trials.) I feel close to this issue. In a prior role, I was asked to investigate individuals who refused the vaccine, were subsequently terminated by their employer, and had filed legal claims as a result. The objective of that work was not to assess the underlying facts, but to identify information that could be used to discredit those individuals and weaken their cases. I found that assignment morally unethical and inconsistent with the scientific observations available even at the time—observations later publicly acknowledged by Pfizer. After reviewing draft reports that lacked analytical integrity and reflected clear bias throughout, I refused to participate. I also personally fought for my right not to take vaccine. At the time, I was undergoing intensive treatment for late-stage neurological Lyme disease and had been advised by my medical doctor not to receive the vaccine. Despite the fact that I worked fully remotely, my employer repeatedly pressured me. I was sent a multi-page document demanding intimate details of my condition and a complete history of every vaccination I’ve ever had - which should have had nothing to do with anything. The process was invasive and adversarial. It felt like a clear witch hunt. I stood my ground, but it was a harrowing, isolating, and deeply stressful period—one in which I had no support and had to live in fear of speaking up. If anything like this ever happens again: think critically. Science is not a noun. Science is not a person. Science is not a for-profit industry. Science is a verb—a process of questioning, testing, and updating conclusions. It’s time we update our conclusions. https://www.war.gov/News/News-Stories/Article/Article/4361100/war-department-reevaluates-discharge-characterizations-for-covid-vaccine-refusal/?fbclid=IwVERDUAOwMdJleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZAo2NjI4NTY4Mzc5AAEediglpvZzMimlx1LVFTjqLmIxABxx_DIuo2kfJOeR5zMWz0Y40pjSIp2KT5E_aem_vqG1SKdfnCwetQ0W1Axm5g

Life is a solar energy–dissipating structure. High-energy photons enter the system and are absorbed, emitted, reabsorbed, and re-emitted in a cascading process that ultimately releases lower-energy photons. This photonic cascade continuously excites electrons, activating molecules and atoms and enabling the downstream biochemical reactions that sustain life. Life on Earth is tuned to the electromagnetic spectrum of our Sun—from low-energy infrared to visible light to high-energy ultraviolet. When we deprive ourselves of the full spectrum, we deprive our biology of the inputs it evolved under, is adapted to, and depends upon for health, vitality, and coherent function. We are now facing a chronic disease epidemic of massive proportions. One of the greatest variables—and deepest root causes—is a widespread ultraviolet and infrared deficiency coupled with artificial blue-light toxicity, created by modern environments and lifestyles that disconnect us from the laws of nature—and from ourselves. It’s time to return to the light, reconnect with the source of life on Earth, and create environments that restore biological coherence rather than erode it.

We are dealing with widespread ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) deficiency syndromes, alongside visible blue light toxicity. From a first principles, root cause standpoint, addressing this (and offering stronger public education) would improve our health, wellness, and productivity while alleviating countless downstream problems across every sector of society.

By focusing on economic energy efficiency and removing infrared from our light sources while isolating the visible spectrum, we have created a biological energy deficiency. Infrared energy from incandescent light bulbs is not wasted heat — it is a critical driver of mitochondrial energy production, Exclusion Zone water expansion, and DNA repair. The push to ban incandescent lighting in favor of infrared-lacking and blue-enriched LEDs will only further drive and fuel America’s chronic illness epidemic.

Bitcoin ≠ Crypto PoW ≠ PoS If you don’t understand this — and the fundamental differences between the consensus algorithms — you don’t yet understand what’s truly revolutionary and paradigm-shifting versus what’s simply a digital replica of the existing, centrally manipulated, forever-inflationary fiat monetary system. Proof-of-Work (PoW) anchors digital value to thermodynamic reality — requiring energy, and in doing so, establishes a bridge between the digital and physical realms. Proof-of-Stake (PoS) anchors it to human abstraction — where the more stake one holds, the greater degree of control they have over the network. One is grounded in physics; the other in thought alone. One is truly decentralized and resilient; the other ultimately corruptible by those who gain access to the greatest stake. One is inherently apolitical and egalitarian; the other inherently political and plutocratic. Can both offer value and new possibilities as emerging and disruptive technologies? Certainly. But only one represents a true paradigm shift. Only one takes a first-principles approach to addressing the root causes of our sick money.

“Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age. Privacy is not secrecy. A private matter is something one doesn’t want the whole world to know, but a secret matter is something one doesn’t want anybody to know. Privacy is the power to selectively reveal oneself to the world.” - Eric Hughes, “A Cypherpunk’s Manifesto”

Money is monetary energy. Monetary energy is the representative value of your time. And your time is the only real asset you have—truly scarce and non-renewable. When you trade your time for money, you’re converting your life into monetary energy. But that energy needs a place to be stored. Think of it like water. You need a container. Storing your monetary energy in fiat currency is like pouring it into a bucket with holes. The holes are inflation—leaks that constantly drain your energy, demanding more of your time to refill what’s lost. Under the fiat system, you will never be free. That’s not a flaw—it’s by design. A system of monetary slavery that traps you in a cycle of always filling a leaking bucket—benefiting only those closest to the money printer. Now imagine you get a new bucket. One with no holes. A Bitcoin container. A secure vessel to store your life’s value across time—protected from debasement by a strict supply cap that can never be inflated away. Now, when you fill this bucket, the value remains. You no longer have to keep fetching more water. You’ve secured the only asset that truly matters. You get your time back. And with it, your freedom.

Separating church and state protects religious freedom. Separating money and state protects monetary freedom. Doing both positions government as a service provider for society rather than a controller of it.

Humans produce 4.5 trillion pounds of trash each year. Our landfills release #methane, a greenhouse gas that traps 80 times as much heat in the atmosphere as CO2. How can #Bitcoin mining help address this problem? Bitcoin mining operations can use gas-to-energy systems to capture methane and transform it into electricity, reducing harmful emissions and repurposing waste. How it works: Gas wells are drilled into landfills to capture methane. Once captured, the methane is converted into electricity through combustion. This newly generated electricity then powers the Bitcoin mining equipment. By adopting #BitcoinMining at landfills, we can tackle a significant methane waste problem, cleaning the environment while powering a global monetary network. It's a win-win scenario.

America's founding values include individual liberty, limited government, rule of law, equality, and democracy. #Bitcoin, unlike fiat, represents and upholds these values in money. Here's how: 1/ Individual liberty: Bitcoin enables financial freedom by allowing individuals to transact directly with one another, without the need for intermediaries or centralized authorities. The peer-to-peer nature of Bitcoin promotes personal autonomy and self-sovereignty. 2/ Limited government: Bitcoin's decentralized network eliminates the need for centralized control. It puts financial power back into the hands of individuals, reducing the government's ability to manipulate the money supply. 3/ Rule of law: Bitcoin is governed by a transparent and immutable set of rules encoded in its protocol. These rules, like the 21-million coin cap and the halving of block rewards, apply equally to all participants, ensuring fairness and predictability. 4/ Equality: Bitcoin is an open and permissionless system, meaning anyone can participate in the global monetary network regardless of their social status, race, gender, or nationality. This fosters financial inclusion and equal opportunity. 5/ Democracy: Bitcoin's Proof-of-Work consensus mechanism ensures that power is distributed among the participants (miners) proportionally to their contributed resources. This decentralization prevents the concentration of power and creates a more democratic financial system.

The #Bitcoin Network offers numerous features that contrast with the risks posed by Central Bank Digital Currencies (#CBDCs). Here are six Bitcoin features that make it a more democratic and secure alternative to centralized systems: 1. Decentralization: Bitcoin  operates on a decentralized network, preventing power concentration and promoting a democratic financial system. In contrast, CBDCs are susceptible to centralized control by governments or central banks. 2. Censorship Resistance: Bitcoin’s secure, immutable transactions make it tough for authorities to censor or confiscate funds. This empowers individuals, contrasting with CBDCs, which may allow governments to exert control and potentially undermine financial freedom. 3. Privacy: Bitcoin offers pseudonymous transactions, enabling a degree of privacy, while CBDCs may enable extensive monitoring and surveillance by governments and financial institutions. 4. Limited Supply: With a fixed supply of 21 million coins, Bitcoin is resistant to inflationary pressures. CBDCs can be created at the discretion of central banks, potentially leading to inflation and economic instability. 5. Borderless & Permissionless: Bitcoin operates on a global, borderless network, enabling financial inclusion and facilitating cross-border transactions without intermediaries or high fees, a contrast to the centralized nature of CBDCs. 6. Security: Bitcoin’s decentralized nature and reliance on cryptography make it highly secure against cyberattacks and fraud, while the single points of failure in centralized systems like CBDCs can make them more vulnerable.

The White House has stated that a U.S. #CBDC - a digital form of the U.S. dollar - "would have the potential to offer significant benefits." But CBDCs also present serious systemic threats to civilization. Here are six risks of CBDCs to consider. Risk 1: Centralization of power. CBDCs controlled by central banks lead to an even greater concentration of power in the hands of a few authorities. This centralization may undermine democratic principles of decentralization, checks and balances, and power distribution. Risk 2: Privacy Erosion. CBDCs enable central controllers to monitor & track financial transactions, enabling surveillance states. Financial data could be used to build detailed citizen profiles that can be exploited for political reasons, commercial gain, or to suppress dissent. Risk 3: Censorship & Control. CBDCs are programmable money. With programmable money, central authorities could have granular control over the types of financial transactions individuals can engage in. This control could limit the freedom of expression and association. Risk 4: Social Engineering. As programmable money, CBDCs could enable central controllers to implement personalized rates as a means to control individual behavior and seek conformity. These financial incentives and disincentives may erode autonomy and freedom of choice. Risk 5: Economic Inequality. CBDCs grant governments and central banks even greater control over the money supply and distribution, which could be used to benefit certain groups and deepen existing disparities. Risk 6: Exclusion & Discrimination. CBDCs may enable governments to exclude certain individuals or groups from accessing financial services or participating in the economy.

#Bitcoin is good for liberal democracy because it decentralizes financial control, fosters transparency, and empowers citizens with financial inclusion. Bitcoin is bad for dictatorships and authoritarian regimes because it provides censorship resistance, enables global connectivity, and cannot be centrally manipulated.

“Bitcoin’s price is volatile, but the system is stable, very stable. The US dollar may not be volatile, but the system inherently is unstable.” - Caitlin Long

"#Bitcoin is the only monetary instrument in the history of our species that is fixed. It does not matter how much more demand comes into the asset class. No one will ever be able to make more of it. There are two things I can guarantee you in my life. One, that I'll die, and the other that there will only ever be 21 million bitcoin." - Jack Mallers

If you don’t buy their poisons, you won’t have to buy their pills.

Under the #Fiat system, the Fed orders the printing of an unlimited amount of dollars, debasing the currency, then attempts to control the market by increasing and decreasing interest rates based on backwards-looking data. It's like driving the economy by stomping on the breaks and gas, sending us flying into the windshield or back into the seat, and leaving society concussed. Under a #Bitcoin system, the supply is fixed and predictable, with no central authority able to manipulate it. It takes the wheel away from the whims of central bankers and places the system on cruise control.

“Banks must be trusted to hold our money and transfer it electronically, but they lend it out in waves of credit bubbles with barely a fraction in reserve.” - Satoshi Nakamoto, 2009

“The central bank must be trusted not to debase the currency, but the history of fiat currencies is full of breaches of that trust.” - Satoshi Nakamoto, 2009
