The current assumption of the climate apocalypse is: We are going into a brick wall, it’s our fault, we have to put this as first priority. While there is some truth to that, we are also going into a brick wall in many differents ways. What

There is many more studies on infrared. On mices, on humans. Search "medcram infrared" I am becoming more and more disillusioned of the medical system (I have seen a bit of how it work from the inside) Pharma make all the repeatab

I try to be hopeful about it, but I agree that we don’t know what we are doing and AI will rapidly be way smarter/faster than us. It’s already used to win the war against Russia: Palantir AI spot targets from satellite image for artill

I am thinking about Tesla with Dojo and Tenstorrent. Both have a similar architecture (different scale) where they dich most of the vram for a fabric of identical cores. Instead of being limited by the vram bandwidth they run at the chip sp

CO2 is not that big of a problem on a reasonable timescale. It’s largely overblown. The CO2 increase is greening the earth (make plant grow more in harsh dry conditions) slightly increase temperature, increase humidity and plant growth also

Even if you still believe that (it’s clearly overblown) the CO2 from the blade of wind turbine is irrelevant in the scale of everything. Transporting the blade to the facility, processing them, developing all the equipment will probably mak

Is there a good reason to not simply burn it all, filter the fumes, etc. At high temperature you end up with CO2, H20 and other bening products. I don’t think the amount of waste is that important, relatively speaking. It’s probably far, fa

The destiny of stuff in landfill is to be burned/recycled when the earth crust get melted back in millions of years. The more I look the more the environmental movement is a complete scam. In almost all mesure we are still tiny on the

The little I know is from medcram (doctor channel on youtube) Search "medcram blood clots" It’s mostly about covid. I heard that fasting might be able to clean similar things, maybe?

On medium at around 3m distance, if I put it lower it make annoying noises from switching on/off. For me it’s mostly on the legs. At some point I get too hot and I stop. It’s also make me relaxed/tired after a while, maybe from th

That is the biggest variable, I don’t know how much power is needed to make a difference. They did experiments with mices but I didn’t do any calculation of the power needed. Best thing to do it to go more outside, but that is not the curre

If you feel radiated heat and see a bit of red infrared on a wide spectrum. The infrared deeply penetrate the tissues, so it shouldn’t matter much. Trust how you feel too.

I agree with you. It’s going to get wild. It will improve very rapidly, from openAI and other. The competition will be incredible this year. I think we are headed for a complete replacement of human work very soon. Those who can use AI will

LED light are very efficient. Huge improvement. It’s what I have all over my house. The world is switching it’s a done deal. I would prefer a continuous light source, or something that is closer to the sun where I spend most of the day (off

I think both are true. We have created the most abondance, comfort and security ever. Now we have second order problems: too much abondance, confort, security.

Cold, dark Canada in the winter :( But you are right, the sun is the best original source.

Simple parabolic heat dish from costco. 1-2 hour/day for a week. Also used hydrating cream to prevent dryness with the heat.

I play around pottery kiln, you have to be careful looking at red hot stuff. You usually don’t need to look at the light source as it penetrate the skin, clothes, skull, etc.

Infrared or even red light penetrate deeply in our body, 10, 20 cm. The mitochondria make atp from glucose+oxygen but also cause free radicals (think bad combustion) those float around and destroy what they touch. To remove those the mitoch

Damn your right, I forgot about this. I thought he was talking about UV to disinfect lungs... I make sense. Infrared to reduce inflammation seems to be know from scientifics for a while, was know from holistic practitioners for much longer.

The sun is the tried and true method. But I think it’s possible it’s going to get worse because of LED, but I don’t know if the amount of power make a difference. Would be simple to test with a bunch of mice: do AB tests, measure inflammati

I tried to spread the word, but people assume that it’s quackery as it sound new age and is not pushed by doctors. Sadly, I think that doctor are mostly trained by pharma, and if there is no money for them then it won’t happen or won’t happ

Make sense. For therapy they often use infrared LED. I use the heat dish as a quick test that was locally available and to my surprise it worked!

I think it’s a big part of why it feel so good in the winter. Heat without infrared doesn’t feel the same at all. Here (Canada) people have spent the winter close to a fireplace for 100’s of years. Warm room without infrared source is recen

TLDR: it affect every cells of the body, not just the retina, mitochondria need infrared (just like we need UV for vid-D) I healed my eczema with red light (infrared heater) It turn out that infrared is needed by all our cells to get rid of
