    Is there any argument or debate that appropriate levels of outdoor sunlight exposure are better for health than being inside under “artificial” lighting and staring at a computer screen?

    Proving, once again, that there are in fact stupid questions.

    Stupid is in the eye of the beholder *wink wink*.

    So what is it about sunlight that is so good for us? Specific frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum that signal certain biological processes? Perhaps processes carried out by cellular mitochondria?

    There are photoreceptor organelles that we are just now learning about. They do lots of things we just don't understand. Dumbass.

    So all this todo about blue light and wireless device toxicity may not be total bullshit?

    Supposedly the Sioux had a ritual where they stood in cold water and stared at the sun all day. Perhaps we are discovering a scientific basis for these types of activities...

    We'll never know if this is true, because it is said that masses of Sioux blindly started walking off cliffs.

    Here's where I heard about it (sorry Cheyenne not Sioux):

    Robot Check

    "All Indians had also the same custom
    of placing each tepee with its entrance opening facing
    the rising sun."

    "Another disciplinary means for subduing the flesh
    was to stand upright all day, from sunrise to sunset,
    on a hill. The devotee did not move during that
    time except to keep his face turned at all times to-
    ward the sun. He might keep his eyes closed or
    shaded, but his countenance had to be presented
    ever toward the venerated token of the Great Medi-
    cine's existence."

    "Standing upright in water from sunrise to sunset
    was one way of putting the body under the rule of
    the spirit. The water had to be up to the neck or
    the upper breast. Not any drink of it was taken.
    It was not permissible to move the body except for
    keeping the face toward the sun."

    Indian mitochondria were some bad motherfuckers.

    Well except for the whole smallpox and firewater fiascos. But they were definitely way more connected to the rhythms of nature than we are today...

    Thoughts on circadian clock disruptions in humans due to artificial light and the effects on disease manifestation?

    This in interesting, but a far cry from “staring at the sun.”
