“A couple years ago started a sub stack called Primal Cut Sheet. I haven't been writing as much in there anymore. Kind of got to the saturation point that I was looking for. But it's tips and insights on how to buy beef in bulk and why you should be doing it. And the motto being the correct number of chest freezers to own is one more than you currently have.”

“I think I certainly came into this conversation being a little nervous that it was going to come off as being all over the place. Not being too focused. I think there's a lot of information to digest from this. If anything, my hope is the one thing that people take away is to be just that little bit more aware of the potential concerns. This isn't a call to arms to swear off technology. I'm very much still, I use technology in my life every single day. It's about finding the ways to be able to keep it in your life and to get the best out of it without just going and being a mountain man in the forest. And I think that some of these tools that we've discussed today are more accessible than others. But I'm happy to come back at any point in time and keep jamming on this stuff. There's probably 14 different topics we didn't even cover.”

“That is my tool. I use it every single day and I pay a lot of attention to my sleep cycles and trying to maintain sleep consistency. And a big part of longevity is having a very consistent bedtime and wake time. And there are days when I'm just able to wind down and I want to read a book. There are other days where I still want to be productive and do some writing. And I can do all of it with this single device. And to me, that's just a really huge unlock being able to still use technology and not be stuck trying to write stuff down on paper, as we were talking about earlier with that second brain concept, the more that you can capture that information in a digital form, the easier it's going to then be to work with that within an AI tool and to be able to do recall and distillation and synthesis of that information.”

“When you go and you sit outside with a device like that, you can see it even better than you could inside. But the reason for using this transflective version is that then they're able to have a light source that they've built in that is intentionally designed to avoid the use of blue light and to reduce the opportunity for flickering. And a lot of people.”

“Here's the thing that I find so fascinating about it is that It's effectively an Android tablet, right? At the end of the day, You're getting a device that functions like an Android tablet. The difference is They've stripped out color as a function of the screen, and they're trying to use this technology. I believe it's transflective LCD, basically where light can not only pass through from underneath the screen array, but it can also deal with light that's coming from outside and reflect back to you. Think of it similar to what you see with a Kindle and Eink tablet where there's like”

“Once I've done that, I might still have some things that I need to do. I might still need to get some work done, or I have some personal projects that I want to be working on. And that is one of the rare moments throughout my day where I have time to myself. But I'm also planning on getting to sleep relatively shortly thereafter. And so you can mitigate that with some of these tools, but there's still going to be some impacts with Blue Light. This is actually one of the reasons why a year and a half ago I got really excited about this new product that came out called the Daylight Tablet. It is an Android tablet.”

But again, there are plenty of people who aren't able to just conform their technology use to the ideal circadian rhythms of night and day. As an example, I've got two kids and there are times when I need to hang out with them for the afternoon and make dinner and spend time with them and get them to bed and read a story.”

“To find that marker of where you should move forward. The other is to be aware of how you should support your circadium rhythm throughout the day. And you're not going to be averse to blue light altogether. I take, for example, as a product manager, I'm having to work with designers and image files, and I'm a photographer and I'm looking at photos. I need to be able to see exactly the definition of that color spectrum as it's intended. And that's going to involve some blue light. But if I'm working on some text stuff and it's getting into the afternoon, I have a program on my computer that is called Iris. There's other tools called Flux. I've seen a bunch of different ones around. And you can adjust the color temperature of your screens. It's not perfect, but it gets a long ways there. You can also use color filters on your iPhone. You can set like almost getting to a red light if you want to.”

“Thing and yet the way in which it interacts with your body is entirely invisible. So I think that there are ways in which you mitigate that. One is spend as much time as you can outside. And to your point, first light is probably the most important because it sets you up for the day. And it really punches your system.”

“Your eyes and your skin are absorbing all of this light information, and your body uses that to decide what hormones it should be releasing. It signals to the body it's morning time. It's active time, it's sedentary time, it's time to go to sleep and to heal and to process the day. And a lot of people are hijacking that circadian rhythm without even realizing it. The tech is so addictive that they'll stay watching their TV until 11 o'clock at night. And it then takes hours for their body to wind down and to them be able to start to get into those deep and REM sleep cycles. And I think that people are missing that aspect because it is to a degree, ironically invisible to them, right? You'd think that light is going to be the most visible.”

“With a broader spectrum, including ultraviolet and infrared. And that is what our bodies were evolved to be able to process and perceive. And throughout the course of the day, we see the spectrum shift very early on. It's very orange. It's very infrared geared. And then throughout the day, it becomes more full spectrum moving into the UV direction and then tapering off towards the end of the day. Not only has that been an important part of our ability to perceive light and to go through life in a healthier manner, it also shapes our circadian rhythm. And it does so in a way that we don't really perceive as like an average person.”

“30 years, the emergence of these LED bulbs and oftentimes being sold as energy saving and you're doing your part for the environment because they last longer and they are cheaper and they're more environmentally friendly. What they fail to tell you is that large amount of the energy savings came from getting rid of a lot of the light spectrum that you would otherwise include with a fluorescent or a halogen or an incandescent bulb. And in doing so, it was concentrating a lot of the light output in the blue area that I should say in and of itself isn't necessarily the worst thing possible. If you go outside midday sun, there's a ton of blue light. The difference, however, is that you're experiencing that blue light in conjunction.”

“At 30 frames per second, an average video camera is also not going to perceive this, but something that you'll notice, depending on the intensity of the flickering, you'll sometimes notice the light. There's a horizontal band that will move slowly through. And if you do the slow-mo, suddenly that horizontal band moving slowly becomes this very noticeable flickering. And I think that the brain stops being able to perceive flickering at a thousand hertz or something. And so there's a long way for us to go. So ideally, you want to use light that is going to be consistent. But once you have consistent light, you also need to think about the spectrum that's involved. One of the things that we've seen in the last, let's call it.”

“Doing because doing so would disrupt the convenience factor that we've currently come to enjoy. We've seen the concerns regarding Wi-Fi and some people pushing for still wanting to use Ethernet cables to connect all of your internet connected devices. But outright swearing off Wi-Fi is not a very convenient thing. We've seen people yell about the difference between 4G and 5G. And I think that some of those arguments have gotten a bit too outlandish, but I do think there is potentially something there. And do I really need to have that extended speed of 5G relative to 4G? Probably not. There's a lot of concerns that I think people just need to be aware of them. And again, not to swear off all conveniences in the technological solutions that are out there, but to find the ones that you prioritize because those are the ones that really make a big difference.”

“And they had on one day, they had fluorescent bulbs that were flickering. And another day, they had fluorescent bulbs that didn't flicker. And the behavior and the way these kids interacted totally different. We're looking at like kids jumping off the chairs versus sitting quietly and be able to take in the information. And it's just another example of where the potential physical impact of modern technology are hiding in plain sight and we don't recognize them. EMF is just another example of this. We don't really know the extent to which this can cause problems. I want to caveat this by saying I am not a scientist. I'm not an expert. I'm an enthusiast. And I don't want to come off as some kooky conspiracy theorist, but I do think that there is a level of scrutiny that needs to be applied to these things that many people are.”

“In different ways. In some cases, you are able to dim the light itself and have it remain a solid light. But the cheaper way to do it is to cut the amount of electricity and to just cut it in and out such that it is perceived as lower intensity by your eyes. But to the naked eye, you can't see that flickering occur. Unfortunately, while you can't perceive it, your brain does and your brain is having to work over time. And this can also, you know, there is some potential concerns that could be a large contributor to some of the behavior that has been attributed to ADHD over the years. I remember seeing there was a research study where they had a classroom.”

“Here's a fun exercise that you and anybody else that's listening to this can try out for themselves. When you're in your home and you've got lights on, if you're out at a bar or a restaurant or anywhere else around town, take out your phone, open up the camera, switch to the slow-mo camera, and just shoot five or six seconds of the space and then play it back. More often than not, what you're going to see is what your eyes cannot perceive, which is the lights just flickering like crazy. When we think about like going to a moody restaurant or a nightclub or anywhere else, we're expecting dim lighting and it's all nice and think about the salt lamp that I've got in the background here, right? Like moody lighting. But when you're using a lot of LED lights, which are more modern solutions to creating lighting, you end up needing to dim”

“Allowing you to migrate away from these centralized solutions. In terms of the hardware, I mention being able to migrate your Google Pixel phones over to graphene. There's also, I think, other concerns related to technology that I think we start to segue into, which is the concerns regarding light and the impacts on circadian rhythm. All of our devices are whether they are Apple or Google or they're a laptop or whatever it might be. They are shining in our faces day and night, and a lot of people walk through life unaware of the impact that has on them.”

I can't do anything about the likelihood that they aren't honoring my request to delete the data that was already there, but that's a different conversation. You can only control the present and the future. You can't control the past. And that tooling is now, anytime I take a photo, it is automatically connecting to my network attached storage and is keeping that data in my environment. And they just got to a point where they have a stable release. It's only been around for a few years. It's been incredible to see what motivated open source developers can put together. And it's just like a call out that I want to make sure that I was giving so that people were aware of that because I think that there is finally starting to be more of these tools that are a one click away from.”

And it is a self-hosted alternative to Google Photos or to iCloud Photos, where you can run it on your device and it will automatically, as you take photos, back it up to your own server. It uses its own internal AI tooling to be able to do face detection, geotagging. It has an interface that is very convenient and user-friendly and very”

“Is a solution out there Google Pixel devices you can sideload a privacy oriented open source software, an operating system onto Google Pixel phones. It's called graphene. And you can then use your phone in a much more privacy oriented banner. You can still sandbox access to Google Play Store and use applications that need to interface with it or even Google specific applications like Maps or using Gmail. It comes at a convenience cost. It always remains part of the equation. And I think that there is a need to try and close that gap between the convenience of Apple and Google versus the complexity or the burden of needing to set things up yourself. One final piece that I wanted to add to the discussion around iCloud Photos and Google photos.”

“A backup hard drive at my computer. And then I realized what happens if something happens to that backup hard drive. It's in the same location as my main computer that has all of the data on there. I should create another copy and keep it at another location. But what if both those hard drives degrade and I don't know about it? And finally reaching this point where my purchased dedicated hardware, it's referred to as a network attached storage where you can not only have redundant hard drive space within the device, but it functions as a server where you can access it from anywhere. You can access it from other computers. You can access it from anywhere around the world. And you can run your own applications on it. It's really just like a souped up version of a computer that is designed with the express purpose of trying to store a lot of data. And my intention when building this out was, and this is exactly what I've been wanting to do.”

Yeah, I came in prior to Bitcoin and prior to being in tech, I was a freelance photographer, a videographer, and I had, you know, for the better part of a decade, I shot digital negatives, which are exponentially larger than a JPEG file. And I chose to go the route of never deleting any photos because in my opinion, the space was available and it was better to keep everything and to be able to regain access to something than to think that you're okay to delete a photo and then realize after the fact that was actually the one that you wanted to use. So that means that I am asked literally terabytes of content.

But Apple has access at the end of the day to all of your photos. And Google has access to all of your photos. And there have been documented instances where people have been convicted of Or child abuse or other things based upon evidence that was extracted from the photos that they were hosting with a given cloud provider. So it's not just this tinfoil hat thing as to whether or not that information is accessible to these companies, it's proven. And yeah.”

One of them is Mabel AI, which you may have heard of. Yeah. Oddly enough, another Bitcoiner in the space that started that up.

But in order to make that second brain really function in a way that is beneficial, you have to give the system all of your information, including private thoughts and conversations that you might have.

It's a huge benefit in making the process of gathering information and distilling it much more efficient. But you need to know where that information is going because if it's just going into some public infrastructure without data controls around it, there's potential that there is information that is sensitive going out and potentially being utilized for training in ways that you wouldn't want it to be.
