your body can tell the difference between some fake ass blue light and the fucking SUN good morning

The blue light receptors are in the bottom of your eyeballs, outside your field of vision. They are also much slower to respond than the visual retina. Thats why people tend to not notice things overhead. Bluelight (scarcadian rhythm) therapy would only work if the lights are on the ceiling. If you want something useful, make an infrared sauna with a real wood stove, use it in the evening. Also, don't fucking use sunscreen, just stay out of direct sunlight when the sun is between the 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock positions (rule of thumb, lower latitudes may be more hours). All this gallium aluminum arsenide semiconductor light is questionable at best. Nobody has done the most obvious study: measure melatonin blood levels in reaction to different monochromatic light. Digikey has hundreds of different wavelwngtg near-IR LEDs available. The melatonin kit is under a thousand dollars and the microvile chromatic measurememt device is basically free on ebay.

The melanopsin in our skin is sensitive to blue light. Avoiding 10-2 is poor advice. Build a solar callous and stack all the melanin you can get. Tans are healthy. image
Yeah until I read this I’d been solely reliant on the light from my clock radio and wondered why I was lacking so much in vitamin day. But I saw this note and my life is changed forever!!!

Get outside and still get work done... ☀️ daylightcomputer.com ☀️ The natural next evolution of man and computing... Low dopamine, non-addictive, blue light free... The ultimate low time preference tablet. Dan approved.
If our ancestors spent hours in the sun, that means - by definition - that sunlight is basic to our physiology. We're descended from the folks who thrived outside. The ones who didn't thrive outside are not our ancestors. That we don't understand all the ways in which sunlight is basic to our physiology is a separate issue, but our current limited understanding certainly doesn't mean that our ancestral exposure to the sun is toxic ,and recent history is littered with examples of how "science has now concluded" is an early stage of what turns out to be terrible medical advice (DDT, smoking, lobotomies, innumerable pharma products, saturated fats... it's a long list). Obv you get to decide what healthy skin means for you, and how much sunlight you think you need. Go for it 😉 I'm not trying to convince you about what to do; just pushing back on your general statements on what's healthy.
Actually..., my mind yes of course can tell, but my body I am not sure if it can really tell the difference between real sun and uvb+uva sunbed. Speaking from experience.

Before watching the video, there's something I don't really understand. so according to google there are 12 million doctors worldwide. I would say 99.99% probably agree on core medical principales. BUT some people choose to listen to the minuscule percentage of doctors who really sound untrustworthy (I even checked this doctor's linkedIn profile). These 'doctors' seem to be pushing these bizarre theories likely for some kind of personal gain. going on podcasts and stuff like that. I think it's really unfortunate that people have such a trust issue with the medical community.

Covid ruined trust in the medical community for a long time. J&J, Pfizer, and Purdue also wrecked trust in your pharma world. Back to Jack, focus on the message instead of the messenger. Bizarre to you does not mean wrong. I agree this is fringe stuff but I think that is because academia and “big medicine” move painfully slow. And painfully unethically. By the time MDs finish their residency, I’d bet more than half the stuff they’ve learned is either wrong or not even close to the full story.
I've been meaning to look into the sudden ban on incandescent bulbs. Because it's totally insane that a president writes an Exec Order and then - poof! - no more incandescent bulbs. I assumed it was because of some industry lobby for LEDs.

It started with the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 The timeline was supposed to phase out incandescents by Trump's term but he kicked the can. Biden picked it back up and basically did away with incandescents below a certain lumens per kw/H threshold. it's a classic case of government interference in the marketplace causing unintended consequences we now all have to live with. If you want a good video on the light waves given off by the different sources of light this is a really good one.
This! This is why I fly away to avoid the winter!!! Not gonna buy some bullshit light. Not gonna be caged by some corporation.
