are you drinking tap water? you are the city's bitch. is there anything you use that the society provides? you are society's bitch.
life is not binary, there are pros and cons to everything. not taking this into account while communicating is what harms progress of protocols like bitcoin and nostr.

I think there is a distinction to be made between "paleo" and "mitochondriac". Dr. Kruse is one of the leading thinkers in the latter category and I think calling his arguments "paleo" and then attacking those is unfair. They are not paleo and based on your reply, no offense, but I see that you misunderstand his arguments greatly.
His arguments are focused more on mammalian evolution (rather than human DNA), caused by rapid changes in the environment, not random mutations over long timelines. 65 million years ago, the POMC protein allowed us to survive the KT event. The mammals that were hiding from Dinosaurs underground, were now exposed to the sun (after few years) and that caused a lot of changes in the ways their genes expressed and we, Humans are the result.
The basic thesis: The light environment is the most important. Mammals are able to use light to replicate photosynthesis inside them, thus creating glucose and insulin, thus not needing as much food (check POMC cleavage products). That's what allowed those mammals to survive and thrive in this new predator-free world. We now changed our light environment so dramatically and so quickly, that our biology can't keep up. Blue light raises blood sugar and insulin without any sugar intake. Diabetes is an evolutionary response to the amount of blue light we are receiving. This is why chemistry (food, supplements) is not as important as light, water, magnetism.
RE: UV light in the forest.
I don't know how much evolutionary time we spent in forests vs. savannas but I would bet much, much more in savannas exposed to sun most of the time. The other variable is temperature, see next point.
RE: Inuits
Yes, this is actually part of Kruse's argument. Light and temperature are inversely correlated, the less light you have the more you should expose yourself to cold. I'm pretty sure an African man would be cold in Alaska in the exact same clothes his Inuit friend is wearing. In other words, the Inuit is cold adapted, his mitochondria work differently.
RE: Evolutionary goals arguments
I don't dispute these. But I'm not sure whether they are germane to what we are discussing here.
RE: paleo environment vs. technology
Kruse is not against technology, he is against technology abuse. He is saying, don't abuse technology, and if you use it, make sure you counter the damage by spending time in nature, grounding, exposing yourself to sunlight, drinking clean water, etc. Or, yes I agree, if you want to go further, you can start biohacking with lamps, grounding sheets, etc. However, Sun is TINA!
RE: sloppy thinking
I don't quite get this. I thought physics is first principles and quantum effects are part of physics. We know they work, our computers are based on them.
Overall, I think you have almost an emotional response, maybe you are used to understanding things right away, since you are a very bright person. However, his thesis are stretching the limits of what we are able to understand in more than one area of science. That might be the reason his arguments sound like a word salad to you. I am taking the time and studying for more than 2 years now what he has to say and I find it more and more fascinating.
If you are open minded and humble enough to give it a go, I suggest this podcast: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1dzpuyYNN1yHNgiiGVfFBO?si=d2ad5b605f9e48dd
He builds up the thesis from basics in a non-argumentative way.
Have a great day :-)

The thesis is actually very simple and as first principled as possible:
1. All life on earth always lived in close proximity to it's environment.
2. As humans separate themselves from their environment, which is very rapidly in the last hundred years, they disrupt their bodies natural processes, their cells loose energy, which results in disease.
3. Therefore, if you want to heal, spend more time in nature.
What's to be proven about that? It can't get any clearer ... Biohacks, and red light therapy specifically, is just trying to replicate nature's environment so that you can keep living separated from nature, yet not suffer as much.
BTW, if you think you can improve your health/vitality long term with chemically based biohacks, you are playing with fire.
Would you please share the "people that understand" biology? I would be super interested to read what they are saying.

Hey @nprofile…cpvp I finally realized where the crux of this problem is. What you perceive as arrogance (and sure, Kruse can be obnoxious at times) is he telling you: "I don't have to measure this, nor do I need studies to prove this. This is derived from first principles, from physics. What I am telling you is axiomatically true. Quantum, AMO physics gives rise to chemistry. So without you getting your physics right (light, water, magnetism) the chemistry won't work even though you have all the chemical ingredients present."
Anyway, you recently mentioned you bought a red light and you liked it :-)

I agree with you. Kruse is not the best communicator and the whole Quantum Biology field badly needs one.
I don’t think it’s only about light though. He says health is a three legged stool composed of light, magnetism and water.
You are right in that he can be perceived as an arrogant, absolutist asshole, but what if he is right? He does have results. What if our health is not primarily determined by chemistry but by quantum physics?
I think he is very far out there, a mad genius, who’s work we will be able to decode in the coming decades.

That’s not a theory, that’s basic biology. The local stuff you eat and drink is part of the environment. By eating it, your body gets in close touch with the environment and adjusts itself accordingly. That’s why, for example, citrus (and other) fruits have a cooling effect, since they rippen in the hottest days of summer and inform your body to cool down when eaten. See Dr. Jack Kruse for a rabbit hole deeper than BTC 😉

Ja mám také tušenie, že úspech a adopcia Nostr-u príde z inej strany. Podobne ako Bitcoin ho začnú vo veľkom používať tí čo nemajú inú možnosť ako napr. miliardy ľudí žijúcich v totalitných režimoch, ktoré blokujú alebo cenzurujú sociálne siete. Postupom času, niektoré Nostr-based aplikácie trafia silný use-case, ktorý bude fungovať len preto, že si na Nostr-i a vieš jednou identitou riešiť celý online priestor. Táto killer feature bude tak silná, že postupne pritiahne ľudí, ktorým je nazatiaľ dobre v "heroínovych" sociálnych sieťach. Skôr či neskôr, príde moment, kedy nebude dávať absolutne žiadny zmysel hrať v nejakej uzavretej fiatovej sieti a odseknutím middlemanov odomkneme neodolateľnú hodnotu. Game over :-)

DAY 1
St.-Jean-Pied-de-Port -> Roncesvalles [24,78 km -> 7:24 hrs]
https://m.primal.net/OcIV.jpg
"Whatever the circumstances, whatever the hardships, the only thing that gets you to a better place is taking the next step, so just TAKE IT."
Green as grass, and full of enthusiasm, I start my journey like hundreds of thousands of pilgrims each year, in St.-Jean-Pied-de-Port. A small, medieval, French town near the Spanish border where you can get your Pilgrim’s Passport and a scallop shell to put on your backpack. The first day is also one of the most challenging since you have to ascend about 1200m. The start is nice and slow, but soon enough the steep ascent starts. It’s long, it’s steady and my backpack is very needlessly heavy. Throughout the Camino, I either threw out or sent home 6 kilograms of stuff I did not need, yet was carrying on this first day. Hours and hours of pumping myself up, calling on the ancestors to give me a boost of energy, and wondering “What am I doing here?”. Near the end, it started raining, I was tired beyond my imagination, yet the only thing to do was to take the next step. I couldn’t stop in the middle of the forest, I couldn’t call a taxi, and I had no other recourse other than to take the next step. It is a funny situation, all you want to do is to stop and have some comfort, dry clothes, and warmth, yet the only way to get there is to endure more of the discomfort, pain, and dreary weather. The only thing that gets closer to the desired state is taking the next hurtful step. And that was the very first lesson the Camino taught me: "Whatever the circumstances, whatever the hardships, the only thing that gets you to a better place is taking the next step, so just TAKE IT."
