Ah, Technology Connections. Such a great channel! If you enjoyed this video, make sure to also watch his video about the color brown: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wh4aWZRtTwU

Only tangentially related but: I have a blue light filter (Plasma night color) always on on my laptop because I feel like, in combination with brightness reduction, I get less eye strain. I've always wondered if there exist a color scheme for desktop theme or IDE / neovim theme or whatever that is thought with night color in mind, i.e. it's made specifically to be looked at with blue light filter reduction, so that all choices of color work, because for example I use solarized light in neovim but when doing diff I need to turn night color off because otherwise I can't read selected text.

I use the ISF Expert color mode on my LG TV that's my monitor -- it really reduces the blue glare (and I found it was pretty much perfectly calibrated to the M1 MBP 14" as well)

And I turn down the brightness at night, helps a lot.

If you really want to blow your mind then consider that there is actually no such thing as white light. We see white because that is how our brain makes sense of light comprised of multiple wavelengths.

just like the purple he talks about in the video, but more extreme
