I only use brand name placebos. Generic doesn’t work for me.
The funny thing is that the “extra strength” placebos likely have a better chance of working. The more elaborate and involved the placebo is, the greater the chance of it actually working even if you know it is a placebo. Our minds are weird. As always, I’m too lazy to look up the actual study so I don’t know if it was a quality study or not.
The important thing is that you believe there was a study ;p
Yeah, I haven’t read the study of course. Only read about it. Which makes the claim above even more dubious. But hey, this is the future, who has the time to fact check anymore?
You could ask an AI, maybe they’ll invent a source for you
If you only read about it that gives it 50% chance at best at being true. Luckily I also read about it, so together that makes it 100% true.
Math checks out.
People wanna tell me there’s no such thing as magic in a world where The Placebo Effect exists. Bro’s got a low level healing spell that grows stronger the more he believes it works.
If it works. I do not care how.
I agree. However, to me, something feels wrong about companies making money selling a product to people with the promise that they work when they don’t actually do anything in and of themselves. It’s false advertising plus taking money out of people’s pockets.
