Tao is worried that AI will produce drugs that hit metrics but don’t actually cure the underlying disease.
Does that sound familiar? That’s (most of) modern medicine!
Think about optimizing for 25(OH)D and LDL metrics.
That’s how you get people taking Vitamin D supplements and statins, not realizing they’re targeting (mostly) symptoms and not root causes.
Countries around the world pushed LEDs and made incandescents illegal to buy.
Years later: "The shock revelation that light bulbs are wrecking your metabolism."
Billions of people traded their health for energy efficiency.

"Wow! I was skeptical at first, but red light therapy is a game changer"
"Huh! Turns out blue light helps your skin"
"And infrared helps your muscles recover"
"Apparently green's good also?"
"I have so many lights now. If only there was a simpler way to get these frequencies"
Every red light device you've ever seen on Twitter uses wavelengths that target the CCO enzyme in mitochondria to stimulate ATP production, and that's a very good thing.
The MyGreen Forest Flashlight does not do this. It is the first LED phototherapy device in the world that targets melanin, instead of CCO.
Why?
Because @AmmousMD told me that melanin absorbs light to provide electrical energy to cells. So I looked for studies that showed what wavelengths would be most effective for energizing melatonin.
They are green (532nm) and near infrared (730nm), which also happen to be the wavelengths of light that dominate the shady forest.
That's right. Forest light is absorbed by melanin in the outer layers of the skin to produce electricity that powers skin cells.
To test the hypothesis that a LED Forest Flashlight might speed healing of cuts and scars on the skin, I treated myself with this new device of my own invention. The results were spectacular.
Inflammation gone. Redness reduced. Skin growing fast under the scab. Accelerated wound repair.
I noticed improvement the day after a single 10 minute treatment and sent pictures to a wound care nurse to verify the rapid rate of healing of cuts on my arm and leg.
So I offered the Forest Flashlight device at a steep discount to readers who would promise to test it for me and write in with their results.
The first review posted this evening and my tester wrote "the results have been incredible" for healing surgical incisions.

The more connected you are with the outdoors, the more you hate daylight savings time.

People have a hard time believing nnEMFs are harmful because their entire understanding of the human body revolves around a biochemical model, not biophysical.
They ignore all the electrical and magnetic properties and processes happening every second.
I’ve been doing this for months now.
Eyes not tired at all after a long day of work.
I used to want to sit down after 30 minutes. Now I can stand while working on laptop for hours without feeling tired.

Most people don’t reject circadian biology because it’s wrong. They reject it because it reorganizes the hierarchy of health in a way that makes their existing beliefs uncomfortable
Modern health culture is reductionist by default. People are trained to think in fragments with macros, supplements, workouts, hormones, peptides, medications
Each gets treated like an independent lever
Circadian biology threatens that model because it says, plainly, that timing, light, and environmental signals sit upstream of all of those levers. It’s foundational
And when you say something is foundational, people hear it as dismissive of the pieces they’ve built their identity around
So when I emphasize circadian biology, critics don’t actually hear “this governs the system.” They hear “everything you focus on is secondary.” That triggers defensiveness. Instead of grappling with hierarchy, they accuse me of tunnel vision
I’m not saying nutrition, movement, psychology, genetics, or trauma don’t matter. I’m saying they express differently depending on circadian alignment
Food eaten at the wrong time, exercise done under the wrong light, supplements taken against the biological clock, all of it yields distorted outcomes
Cultural conditioning is another reason why people push back on my message. Circadian biology doesn’t sell well in a convenience driven world that revolves more around profit motive rather than first principles biology
