when im using my laptop, i always set it on the highest brightness, but i've heard that low brightness is better. i mean in the dark wont your pupils/lens be strained?

No its a common misconception that your eyes will get bad/will be strained in low light conditions. The best thing you can do to keep your ciliary muscles relaxed when you do near work is to take off your glasses/contacts if you have them or use over the counter reading glasses. Also lowering the brightness saves your laptop's battery life 🙂

but I mean high brightness wont hurt either?

I don't think it makes any difference except if you are trying to fall asleep which could interfere with your production of melatonin. I mean you bleach more of your cones but they come back.

If you are intelligent and arrogant they like that. A lot of ODs are push-overs and we need more strong people. Btw, you are really random.

not sure if they like arrogant. maybe you mean confident, which can sometimes be perceived as arrogance i guess.
