Reflections on Trust, Technology, and Cultural Critique

Matt Maruca, founder of Ra Optics and the Light Diet joins me to talk about the healing power of sunlight and the dangers of artificial light. 

He shares practical tips that one can integrate when traveling across time zones. He talks about why he likes to eat his biggest meal in the middle of the day, the specific problem with LED lighting, why the smart phone slow motion feature is not accurate to prove flicker rate of healthy bulbs, what the color rendering index means, why we want our indoor lighting to be at eye level or lower at night, his thoughts on Starlink and X, ultraviolet light therapy, and more.
