The Most Overrated Biohack Is Reliance on Technology
Gethin argues that biohacking devices become counterproductive when they replace freely available natural behaviors. He sees technology as useful when climate or location removes access to sunlight or outdoor grounding, but not as a way to purchase health without applying basic habits.
- Use natural sunlight when it is available instead of defaulting to red-light devices
- Use technology to fill a genuine environmental gap rather than replace basic behavior
- Balance modern tools with ancestral practices
- Learning about health tools matters less without consistent application
“They will have sun outside, but they'll still use a red light instead.”
“people just want to buy their health and it can't be purchased.”
