been a while since I watched, but from my fuzzy memory people getting less light in their eyes was linked/associated with nearsightedness, and since I work at a computer all day I figured I should try to maximize the light I get in them, so I started taking more walks and switched to auto mode (less light at night is important for sleep).
Another thing that pushed me to it was Eliezer Yudkowsky made a post about how his wife struggled with seasonal depression and a lightbox didn’t help, but he tried increasing the light by setting up a ton of LEDs around their house and it actually worked for her.
I think that was where the association was found, but I don’t think anything rules out it persisting into adulthood. I also paid a lot for lasik/smile so I’d like to do anything I can to protect that and not need glasses again
I switched to auto mode after listening to the huberman labs podcast ep on eye health
What did he say?

Isn’t that only with childhood? I haven’t seen the eye episode yet but I think i recall him mentioning it in another episode

That’s understandable
