To what extent is the issue of using screens before sleep a question of mental overstimulation as opposed to specific frequencies of light?

Genuine question.

If this works at all, every material scientist in the world will be working on similar materials and manufacturing processes for them to improve the effect and make them more manufacturable.

I believe I have read that it’s literally impossible to copy an object’s quantum state without destroying it, so in a real sense a transporter that’s indistinguishable at a quantum level would be moving you rather than creating a copy and killing the original.

The good thing is that if you can detect an effect from a medication and determine its mechanism, there’s the possibility you may be able to synthesise something with a stronger effect and more manageable side effects.

Yes, I’ve read the Wikipedia article. That sentence is a little misleading, as the original study was arguably about both.

The initial study by David Dunning and Justin Kruger examined the performance and self-assessment of undergraduate students in the fields of inductive, deductive, and abductive logical reasoning, English grammar, and appreciation of humor.

Edit: …with the reasoning tests being a crude proxy for intelligence.

Note that I was careful not to mention intelligence in my original post either.

This is reminiscent of social media’s favourite, the Dunning-Kruger effect, where in order to assess the level of an attribute that applies to them, an individual must use that attribute itself.

This suggests that there’s no relationship between self-assessed and measured intelligence at all as opposed to Dunning-Kruger’s exaggerated gap at the low end.

I wonder why Dunning-Kruger doesn’t seem to apply here.
