On today\u2019s episode of The Quantum Biology Collective podcast, he explains to host Meredith Oke just how his model works differently, eliminating blue light and flicker.\n \nHe explains what happens when a normal laptop flickers, how it disrupts our circadian rhythm and affects our brain in a way that\u2019s similar to motion sickness, though we don\u2019t notice it until it becomes a major problem. \n \nDevices and screens, in their current state, are not only biological mismatches, but psychological ones as well, argues Anjan. He explains how living with ADHD led him to create the Daylight Computer, his plans for similar software and devices, and how technology could be a major tool to promote empathy and understanding. \n \nJoin today\u2019s episode to learn how Daylight Computers will teach us how to forgive ourselves and how we can reclaim our sacred spaces. \n \nQuotes\n\u201cI met the guy who invented the LCD screen\u2026 and he said, \u2018If you told me that my grandkid would be spending six hours a day looking at one of these, I would have designed it differently.\u201d (5:12 | Anjan Katta) \n\u201cIt\u2019s the humility of saying \u2018Let\u2019s not start from Star Trek and Star Wars and from little boy fantasy and make something and then say, \u2018Oops! We ruined everybody\u2019s health.\u2019 Let\u2019s start with health. Let\u2019s start with deep, empirical principles of nature. And then if the product is not as fantastical as you need it to be, that\u2019s OK, because at least we didn\u2019t hurt people. We didn\u2019t undermine their integrity and their sovereignty and their core, core being. And then we can try to make fantastical things over time.\u201d (9:42 | Anjan Katta) \n\u201cWe\u2019ve got to stop being so hard on ourselves because, yes, if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, yeah it\u2019s going to be hard on itself. And to me, technology should be like, \u2018Oh, you\u2019re a fish. Let\u2019s give you a river.\u2019 And that\u2019s kind of what motivated me. I\u2019m a fish. Stop making me feel like an idiot by trying to get me to climb trees. What\u2019s a computer that fits me, that fits a fish, that\u2019s a river?\u201d (34:18 | Anjan Katta)\n\u201cWe\u2019ve removed all sacred spaces in society, including the bedrooms, by bringing these noisy, impolite, intrusive, bad-for-our-health, addictive portals. And it takes the meaning out of everything because everything is just the same.\u201d (36:54 | Anjan Katta and Meredith One)\n \nLinks\nBon Charge Discount Code: at checkout enter the code: QBC to receive 15% off\nhttps://us.boncharge.com/collections/blue-light-blocking-glasses\n**If you're in the US and have a Health Savings Account (HSA or FSA) BonCharge products are an eligible expense**\n \nTo order a limited beta version of the Daylight tablet, go to:\nhttps://daylightcomputer.com\nPassword: DAYLIGHT\n \nConnect with Anjan Katta:https://twitter.com/AnjanKatta\nhttps://twitter.com/daylightco\nInstagram: @daylightco \n \nTo receive a FREE infographic of the Ideal Circadian Day and join our email list: https://www.quantumbiologycollective.com/qbc-newsletter-aqb\nTo find a practitioner who understands quantum biology: www.quantumbiologycollective.org\nTo see details about the Applied Quantum Certification: www.appliedquantumbiology.com\nFollow on Instagram and Facebook: @quantumbiologycollecitve\nTwitter: @quantumhealthtv\n \n \nPodcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/e09aad95-7168-4061-a25c-32b3ed43f989/QBC-Cover-Art-2025-Aug-07-v1.jpg"}
