Listen, you believe what you want to believe, I'll believe what I want to believe.That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose. -
there is certainly truth to the placebo effect, so as long as you believe...Originally posted by SJHovey View Post

I've actually heard of research studies that isolated a placebo effect even when people were explicitly told it was a placebo and apparently believed that it was a placebo.

Every band playing small clubs should learn The Modern Lovers' "The Mixer." It has to be the most sexually tense / relaxing song ever written for a bar music scene. It is being 20 and horny, in a song.Cornell University

Nothing qualifies as a "placebo" if the subject is told that he/she just took a sugar-pill in a clinical trial.Originally posted by LynahFan View Post
Having said that, I certainly believe in the placebo-effect among some people, if it's actually administered correctly.
(As in, a double-blind study.)Last edited by Fishman'81; 02-25-2021, 10:17 PM.Comment

Between Rand, MTG, this thread, etc, it would be nice if society would feel, I don't know, neutral about me and my community.Facebook: bcowles920 Instagram: missthundercat01

Society is more and more an ally. It's a few high profile sh-tburgers and their bacteria-level fan boyz who are the haters, and they are dying off.Originally posted by MissThundercat View Post
The homophobes' and transphobes' grandkids will spit on their graves. One reason they are so pathetic and hate-filled is they can sense already how irrelevant they are.
Nobody remembers segregationists and anti-Semites fondly. And that's what these cretins are the equivalent of.
They are cultural roadkill. Their disease will die with them.Last edited by Kepler; 02-26-2021, 06:21 PM.Cornell University

Good news from The House today, anyway, and I predict the bill will pass through the Senate with at least a bit of Republican support.Originally posted by MissThundercat View Post
