Sorry, I didn't mean "dumb" as meaningless but as plain and basic. I enjoy my windows very much and don't wish to anyone to spend their indoor time without wind

Sorry, I didn't mean "dumb" as meaningless but as plain and basic. I enjoy my windows very much and don't wish to anyone to spend their indoor time without windows days and nights. On the sister comment about windows on the 33th floor, those will still have a ton of benefit from an health perspective as a source of natural light (full spectrum), open view (can focus to infinity instead of a few meters away) and overall mental relief if there's no fear of height. There's actually the same debate on access to sun, where construction code usually prohibit a taller building from 100% occulting the sun from surrounding houses. Those could be compensated by some artificial mechanism, but would not be guaranted to work. Windows FTW.
