Should sun glasses be avoided?

Absolutely wonderful summary. I would add that on top of modernity's aversion to sunlight & perversion of blue light, the consumption of seed oils and sugar accelerate macular degeneration.

Thanks Captain Malagon for stopping by to leave such a thoughtful comment. I appreciate your support. Agreed - seed oils are the worst, even more detrimental than refined sugar according to weston a price, as seed oils that are oxidized through heating can lead to inflammation as you probably know.

You guys are ready to have your own peer-reviewed scientific papers!

2 Questions/Comments

1. On this, “After an asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago, light from the Sun would be sparse….When humans came onto the scene, we had to adapt to these low-light environments.”

I think hominids have only been around a few million years, H. Sapiens less. Seems to me sparse sun from a meteor 65 mil yrs ago should have cleared up long before humans came around? What do you guys think?

2. I see the Pineal Gland there in one chart. Some chatter on-line says temp guns aimed at the head might disrupt this gland and some say it only measures infrared. For a while I was letting them do the wrist, one guy wanted to take my wrist temp to sit on the restaurant’s outside seating with no one around and I just started laughing telling him he was crazy. Didn't go down well with my date.

Good morning Proton, thanks for your thoughtful comments as always!

1. Ok you got me on the 1st point (: What I meant to say, and have now edited based on Kruse's theory, is that eutherian mammals (any mammal with a placenta) made it through the KT extinction b/c they were able to adapt to low light environments with neuropsin. Humans come from thos placental mammals.

2. That waiter is a dufus, and I'm happy you flexed in front of your date. If she didn't appreciate the testosterone, then she probably wasn't for you anyway. I'm not totally sure how those guns work, but I would guess they're not as bad as the blue light from our phones, although you can't trust lots of what's out there. Pulsed /invisible light can do more damage because our brains have a harder time perceiving and processing those short-sporadic shotgun blasts of light than longer, steady wavelengths such as natural infrared.

Plus there's the psych/mindf*ck aspect of someone pointing a gun to your head/submission/ signalling to your brain that you're under them etc.

Screw that shit. I hope I helped answer and clarify for you. Let me know if you have any other questions, and thanks again for taking the time to read our piece!

Haha hey gotta do what you gotta do! Thanks for reading Kieron.

I hear you- it's a real issue. This is why I make an attempt each day to get out at sunrise and sunset as most of the light has a chance of getting through the horizon at that narrow angle.

I know a guy who says he can push cloud formations by using the intention field of his pineal gland - it sounds out there, but if the natives could raindance, maybe we can spraydance.
