My take at the moment is that each humans are like cells of a human where the human is a civilisation. We have autonomy but must generally work for the welfare of the whole organism. If some people are not aligned to the general good we try

Infrared too. Infrared from the sun penetrate the skull and prevent inflammation in the brain. The effect is reduced dementia in people tha go outside. The infrared is reflected by the plants and thus walking in the shade of tree give incre

some get through, but they more and more put filter to keep the heat in that also block (some?) of the infrared from getting in. ah, infrared is a huge spectrum. They specifically talk about near infrared (as in near visible light) My space

Way more solar and wind than I thought. It seems Tony Seba is right. With batteries and EV they will displace everything else. Not that nuclear is evil on anything, but I don’t see how it will compete on price. (I understand the need for ba

Yeah, you are right. A bit conspiratorial. I think it’s a big discovery an should get much more visibility. Autoimmune diseases and depression are in constant progression in our modern world. The light therapy probably took a lot of time to

Infrared!!!! (scientifically proven) Everyone know about UV, vitamin D and blue light to help your circadian rhythm. But very few people know that we need infrared to keep inflammation in check. Our mitochondria use infrared light to create

I heard that the advanced materials team of SpaceX went to help design the alloys used for the castings. They needed a castable aluminum resistant to corrosion, rigid enough that didn’t need heat treatment. From what I heard at Munroe they

My point is that the tech is improving, we can aim for maximum safety and regulations but at the end would it save live or destroy more with the status quo. There is a cost both ways, we are used to pay the cost of the status quo, it feel

What if Tesla are safer than a regular driver? What if they actually saved lives? There is plenty of video evidence of that: https://youtu.be/hF96jQ0SY8w Would we try to stop it? A lot of companies would like to stop it, th

I think that’s a counterpoint we need to hear more to the current ’reduction’ narrative. Small nudge to push innovation in a positive direction is an important tool, but we are getting overboard with control and regulation. Here in Québec t

Did you try infrared light therapy? Did wonder for me, cost almost nothing, cured my eczema (quick visible result!)

True, if there is that amount of money involved they should have solid proof.

From what I saw it is the near infrared (close to visible light) that is more effective. I tried with an space heater with a reflector: https://www.costco.ca/presto-heatdish-plus-tilt-parabolic-he... My reasoning was that i

While I agree with you with my alarm bells, I found out too that our medical system is way more a money extraction machine than an health machine. We are chronically deficient in infrared light, it’s killing people, it’s well researched yet

Try infrared light therapy. (sun, infrared heater or specialized light) We recently found out that all of our mitochondria in our cells need infrared light to get rid of oxidative stress. Our modern environment is devoid of infrared light:

We could compare against other industries. I am also wondering how many died of old age or depression in NASA while they were testing and scrubbing and delaying again. There is a risk to no progress and being overly cautious too.

All of our truths are based on biology. Without our body we cannot see, feel and experience. Something is true when it is useful, predictive to us, to our body, when it allow us to move away from pain and toward pleasure. If there is no obs
