    (In seriousness, I can't help you. I didn't even know that casual hobbyists could make them -- the ones I've seen were huge.)

    Not so sure killing Hitler would be the good idea it's made out to be. World War II was the catalyst for epic technological advances, especially due to the Nazis.

    Of course. What would give you the impression otherwise? I'm just holding off until Mote finishes up. So is Sarachim.

    Ah, I understand now, thanks for the reply.

    Incorrect. As knowledge of the placebo effect has spread amongst patients and those who would consume them, the effectiveness of the placebo has actually increased. Psychology works in funny ways.

    That's epic!
  4. It seems to me that having knowledge regarding the placebo effect disallows for the effect itself to affect you.

     

    For example: If someone is constantly told a certain drink would vastly improve their reflexes, and said person genuinely believes it and consumes the aforementioned drink, their mind will react to the consumption of the drink by improving one's reflexes, methinks. Now if the same individual then learns of the placebo effect, I believe the knowledge of the effect will cancel out any changes brought about by the people constantly telling the person about the drink.

     

    This might not make sense to you guys, it started sounding weird to me towards the end, but I hope you guys get the gist of it.
