Each time I listen to Kruse my brain breaks a little.
If you haven't listened, some of the wild claims include:
1. earth’s magnetic field is weakening rapidly enough to affect our health
2. where you live can outweigh the benefits of your health routine (east coast is especially bad)
3. melanin participates in an internal energy-generating system
4. hearing depends on an internal light-powered energy process.
5. local food carries information about the local magnetic environment.
6. body fat acts as an electrical capacitor during magnetic decline
7. major Atlantic and Southern Ocean circulation systems have already stopped
...there are many more
I notice myself oscillating between skepticism <> fascination... and a sense that there's at the very least some interesting territory to be explored

I jokingly asked my Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor if there was an herb to boost my self-worth. She said no, and that I just need to sleep more. Then she reminded me of the prophet Elijah who begged God to take his life, and God’s response was to let him eat and rest.
Basically I need less herbal medicine and more naps + OT wisdom. Thats how my day is going

Your nervous system reset should be grounded in bare feet on the Earth, proper breathing mechanics, ample and progressively acclimated full spectrum sunlight exposure, real food, time spent under the shade of trees and plant life, and true darkness at night
You will never outperform the foundational elements that shaped life on Earth and the circadian biology of our diurnal species

일본인들이 해외여행을 잘 안가는 이유
물론 엔저로 인해 비싸진 해외여행 비용도 이유겠지만, 일본은 굳이 해외로 나가지 않아도 될 만큼 자국 내 여행 인프라가 미쳤다.
일본이라는 나라 하나에 전 세계의 다양한 풍경을 압축해 놓은 느낌
다테야마 : 스위스 알프스가 부럽지 않은 웅장한 산맥과 거대한 설벽
미야코지마 : 몰디브나 동남아 휴양지를 연상시키는 에메랄드빛 바다
비에이 : 유럽 시골마을 같은 광활한 언덕과 동화 속 겨울 설경
교토 : 수백 년의 역사와 전통이 살아 숨 쉬는 일본의 고도
야쿠시마 : 원령공주의 배경을 떠올리게 하는 신비로운 태고의 원시림
벳푸 : 도시 곳곳에서 온천수가 솟아나는 일본 최고의 온천 여행지 중 하나
도쿄 : 세계 최고 수준의 쇼핑, 미식, 서브컬처가 공존하는 초대형 도시
그럼 음식은?
사실 말하면 입만 아프다.
스시, 라멘, 돈카츠, 야키니쿠, 우동부터 지역마다 특색 있는 향토 음식까지.
식재료 하나를 활용하는 방식도 다양하고, 이름 모를 동네 식당에서도 기대 이상의 음식을 만날 때가 많다.
쇼핑은 또 어떤가
명품부터 빈티지, 편집숍, 전자제품, 애니메이션 굿즈까지. 도쿄나 오사카에서 쇼핑하다 보면 하루가 모자랄 정도다.
게다가 여행할 때 체감되는 청결함, 정돈된 거리, 친절한 응대와 세심한 서비스까지.
대도시의 화려함을 즐기다가도 조금만 이동하면 고즈넉한 마을과 자연을 경험할 수 있는 나라.
봄에는 벚꽃, 여름에는 푸른 바다, 가을에는 단풍, 겨울에는 설경과 온천.
일본 여행의 가장 큰 장점은 한 나라를 여행하면서도 전혀 다른 여러 나라를 다녀온 듯한 기분을 느낄 수 있다는 것이다.
괜히 전 세계 관광객들이 일본을 계속 찾는 게 아니다.
솔직히 일본에 살면 국내여행만으로도 평생 가볼 곳이 끝나지 않을 것 같다.

Listen up, misfits. If you’re coasting through life swallowing pre-packaged narratives, you’re not living, you’re just eating someone else’s leftovers. First principles thinking isn’t a buzzword; it’s a machete to hack through the jungle of bullshit. Strip everything down to the raw, unfiltered truth. Ask yourself : What do I know for sure based on the data known to be factual by Nature? Then use that as a your jump off zone to prove the liars wrong.
Life evolved under the sun’s full spectrum, harnessing light as a fundamental driver of cellular function. At the heart of this process lies a photobiological recursive loop, a quantum reflex arc system where ultraweak photon emissions (UPEs) in the UV range couple mitochondrial activity, a changing dielectric constant of water, circadian timing, and microtubule (MT) dynamics to orchestrate cellular processes like mitosis, myelination, and consciousness. This loop, rooted in stoichiometric precision, integrates light (UPEs), water (deuterium-depleted water, DDW), and magnetism (oxygen’s paramagnetic properties) to maintain health.
The loop was talked about in the journal Nature, in a paper called "A Somato-Cognitive Action NetworkAalternates With Effector Regions in the Motor Cortex."
In the modern world, with a a declining magnetic field, artificial blue light (and EMF) disrupts this loop, leading to cellular dysfunction, diseases such as demyelination, and altered consciousness. In the podcast I explore with Andreas how this recursive loop operates and why it fails under modern conditions, using first-principles reasoning.
The Photobiological Recursive Loop Basics
The recursive loop is a self-reinforcing cycle where UPEs are transformed energy from IMM metabolism and act as quantum signals in water created by CCO, linking mitochondria, MTs, and circadian rhythms in a purely quantum process that allows consciousness to manifest. I built this theory from the ground up in my thesis and Andreas want's to explore it for you the audience.

Lazymaxxing your life with babies, 0y to 3y
1. Don't buy a baby crib. Put as big a mattress as you have space for on the floor and cosleep. Preferably put it in another room than the master bedroom - sometimes baby will have hard nights but you don't want two adult zombies in the house
2. Go everywhere you want. Buy a sling or baby sack, put baby there and go for coffee. Visit a friend with an older baby and ask to try all the baby wearing devices they have, you'll find a perfect one. Have to admit it is much easier to do in a friendly climate
3. Breastfeed if you can. It will allow you not to think about baby food for months and go out easier
4. Yes you can take baby to that museum or rock concert
5. When the baby is older slowly introduce the same food as you are eating at home
6. You don't need baby courses to develop baby brains. Talk to them. Let them cook with you or help with the laundry
7. Teach kids that there are boring times of the day. I think boredom is just the best gift you can present them, we all need space for creativity.
8. Read to your kids.
9. Yes it is ok to use diapers for a longer time but then spend just one day on potty training.
10. Teach them to cook their own food. They will be so proud!
11. Kids won't eat unhealthy food if you only have healthy food at home

Reading an iPad at full brightness for 4h before bed suppressed melatonin by 55% (sleep and detoxification hormone), pushed the body clock 90 minutes later and left people sleepier the next morning compared with reading a paper book.

Plastic really sums up the dilemma of modernity.
Increases net health and comfort in many ways.
But it's ugly and its ubiquity degraded creation in a very real way, made almost every item ugly.
Your life will never be as beautiful as before plastic.

The” cry it out” method was strongly recommended in early 1900s by the U.S. Department of Labor. Ironically, this was during an era of industrialization, when women’s participation in paid labor was growing.
It says everything you need to know about the subject.
What if the “Cry It Out” sleep training (aka extinction-based sleep training) has contributed to mental health issues in young people?
In some ways, it’s the most insane thing to do to a child (and is based on incredibly poor science). For centuries, families co-slept without issues, but in modern times, it has become increasingly taboo… why?
How can repeated emotional non-response to a baby be healthy? What does it do to their stress calibration, attachment expectations, and self-regulation? How does it play out in their long term relationships and social connections?
I’ve read the studies and they are poorly designed and weakly supported. Yet, we have an entire generation of parents that blindly follow this insane protocol without reviewing the data themselves.
To be fair, the data supporting co-sleeping is weak as well, but it has centuries of precedent so I feel much more comfortable supporting that than a new approach that was largely instituted since the 1920s.
For some context, in the 20th century, behaviorist John Watson (1928), interested in making psychology a hard science, took up the crusade against affection as president of the American Psychological Association. He applied the paradigm of behaviorism to childrearing, warning about the dangers of “too much mother love”. The 20th century was the time when “science" was assumed to know better than mothers, grandmothers, and families about how to raise a child. Too much kindness to a baby would result in a whiney, dependent, failed human being.
A government pamphlet from the time recommended that "mothering meant holding the baby quietly, in tranquility-inducing positions" and that "the mother should stop immediately if her arms feel tired" because "the baby is never to inconvenience the adult." A baby older than six months "should be taught to sit silently in the crib; otherwise, he might need to be constantly watched and entertained by the mother, a serious waste of time."
The truth is the opposite. We now know that ignoring a child raising cortisol levels and hurts trust and attachment. Yet, every young parent I know today has been brainwashed to let their child cry in silence. It’s truly wild.

The notion of “nutritional dark matter” is key here. We know literally nothing about the active compounds in food. We know maybe 150 of many thousands, maybe tens or hundreds of thousands. This is why the attempt to replicate foods like milk in bio reactions is doomed to fail.
Josh Foo retweeted
No, I’m not a drug addict. Food is just nutrition and energy to me, and I eat real food 90% of the time. As it should be.
I cannot at all relate to using food as an emotional bandage, crutch, or recreational drug.
I eat cake for family celebrations. That’s it, it’s just cake.

新加坡最大的风险，是没有容错率。
最近的雾霾，让我想起当年没有留在新加坡的原因。
我的新加坡华人导师曾说：“新加坡太小了，几十年后还有没有新加坡，都不好说。”
今天的新加坡当然是超级好的选择：低税、科技公司多、政府清廉高效、公民素质极高、没有 homeless、几乎没有毒品，几乎集中了东亚与西方的所有优点。
但它最大的隐患，也恰恰是太小。
中国可以不断规划新的新区：苏州工业园区、浦东新区、滨海新区、雄安新区，用空间换取试错机会。新加坡寸土寸金，每一步都必须走对。
所以新加坡政府之所以这么清廉、这么重视科学化决策。也真是因为他们只有这一种选择。
上帝给你的礼物，早已在暗中标好了价格。

For all the talk about eunuchs running the Singapore govt, many Singaporeans are not that different and are sheeps at heart.
So many parents that have kids in lower primary or below (no year end examinations), complaining about schools being kept open despite the air quality and waiting for an MOE directive instead of doing something themselves.
Pull your kids out la wtf? MOE directive doesn’t change anything about your childcare situation at home.
“But the schools are not yet closed.” - Govt no brain, you also no brain?
“My kids will miss out on the lessons.” Seriously? And if you really care/are a kiasu mofo, email the teacher for what was covered and teach your kids at home la smlj.
Spend so long studying, don’t know how to write emails on your own direction and initiative already meh?

Few passive cooling systems are as effective as simply allowing annual climbing plants to cover your external walls. Many studies on this have been done, showing green walls could reduce surface temperatures by up to 12°C in Singapore, but even in temperate climates they can make a big difference. One study on a building in Toronto, Canada, showed that a grape curtain wall reduced interior temperatures by 2.91°C (and even produced fruit in the second year).
Annual plants have a huge benefit in that they grow and die down perfectly timed to when their passive cooling is most needed: you want light coverage early summer, full in mid-summer and none at all in late-autumn and winter.
For annuals, consider hops, runner bean, morning glory. For perennial, wisteria, grapevine, Virginia creeper.
Ivy is common and also works well, but on some buildings ivy can damage the wall it grows on (although at the same time it also provides protection, so it isn't always a net negative). Some plants have strong root systems that might be best to isolate.

Built in 1941 in Kamakura by a master carpenter, this exquisite home was moved to Hokuto in Yamanashi Prefecture in 1991. In 2013 it was subtly transformed by architect Hiroshi Sugimoto and given this perfect fence. At a glance it looks like a regular bamboo fence but it is actually traditional bamboo broom sticks turned upside down and attached tightly to a timber frame capped by copper.
The fence perfectly ties in with the hierarchy of materials: from the solid granite foundation stones at the base to the brittle bamboo twigs at the very edge of the ensemble. All materials used are natural or perfectly recyclable. A masterclass in harmony in architecture.
The building was originally the home of a painter and publisher, but is now a French restaurant. #素透撫
