The push for LED lights appears to be more than just a quest for energy efficiency… it’s a troubling revelation that points to a deeper scheme. As highlighted in an interview with Dr. Jack Kruse, a neurosurgeon, the growing dependence on artificial blue light could have dire consequences for health and society.

When the acceptance letters arrived, I felt a rush of disbelief. However, to the astonishment of many, I made the decision to decline Yale’s offer and enroll in a…
