[@FireyDeath4]

Perhaps. It depends on the morality of the converser, since morality and ethical alignment are entirely subjective and arbitrary to existence and it's significance. You could say that, no matter what, all dogs are good dogs, as long as you care about literally nothing else when it comes to situations normal humans would see as dire extremes. And if that were the case, I could assume that the goal of your existence is exclusively to ensure dogs never go extinct. Which they will, but that doesn't matter: the longest time is good enough.

It takes a lot of self control to get over drug addiction and some people may or may not have the strength to overcome it. My life has improved significantly due to another person lending out their hand and making appreciate the positive aspects of life rather than the negative ones. We all are different individuals with different beliefs, experiences, strength, weakness, etc. at the end of the day, even I dislike a situation where a person suffering with addiction just give up on any hope of overcoming it.

You can get over an addiction, with a metric fuckton of effort, you CAN choose to not be an addict anymore, it's just hard as hell. But absolving others of their blame for their own addiction is not going to help, they fucked up, and they're dealing with the consequences, telling them that they never fucked up'll just keep them from putting in the effort to get better.

I'm so glad he made this, it's been such a powerful revelation - especially the part where he explains why the experiments in earlier Mind Field episodes didn't produce the most 'sensational for TV' results; it's truly incredible to see now the work he's put behind the series considering he started out just as a KZbinr and now he's actually highlighting fascinating studies into fields like placebo that researchers don't want to pursue, I mean the man has already drastically improved the quality of life for some of those kids and their families by extension. One of the most underrated content creators alive, this man.

[@siriusaegislink2700]

Placebos are amazing, the only time I know of experiencing one was a year or so ago. I had recently started playing trumpet, and lost one of mouthpieces. My dad found says mouthpiece after a few months, and I thought it was smaller than my current one (smaller mouthpieces make higher notes easier.) I had been having trouble with high notes for a while, but as soon as I used that mouthpiece, I was able to play multiple notes higher. It wasn't until a month or two later that I finally realized the mouthpiece was exactly the same size as my other one, and I had placeboed myself.

[@scptime1188]

This has probably jappened to me without me noticing, although it has happened to my friends alot and it's sort of funny haha.

[@alanhersch4617]

Yeah this is totally a thing. Most people refer to is as psyching yourself out (if it is a negative) or being "in the zone" when it is a positive. It isnt that hard to relate to and then apply it to medical issues, etc. As much as I hate pseudo sciencey things, I also personally know many people that have been legitimately helped by them because of placebo, so it is hard for to criticize things like that.

[@pedrocampanholi]

In this case I don't know if really is a placebo effect. I used to play the french horn and something similar happened to me. The mouth piece that I lost were larger than the new one and it should be easier to reach high notes. But when I found my old one, it was easier. There where two important factors: the old one was better fabricated, was a Paxman, and my muscles were more used to it. Maybe if I trained more with the new one maybe this wouldn't be the case anymore.

[@xlapse]

Crazy thing about actualizing placebos sometimes is that you can just call that a coincidence and was because certain timing in your life for all different reasons. Like you could have just lost a touch and got better at playing the high notes again after positive alignments in ur life

About the memory and sleeping bit, at about 2hours and 45 minutes in: I'm someone who suffers from a very bad memory, and I can't remember important moments that I have spent with people, even when I care much about them. I have recently found out that my sleep is irregularly terrible. So it's very reassuring that, by fixing my sleep, my memory can be improved. I have always done terrible in school and any type of tests. I have also always had a sleeping problem, and could never rest well. I've slept on classes and couldn't sleep well at home. Ironically, I can almost always remember my dreams, and it's actually always very easy. I wonder how much associated this is to what they're researching. Since my sleep isn't complete, the memory cycle isn't complete... I often times also worry about memory being overwritten; something I guess a lot of people don't even think about. This may just be a paranoia or something that I shouldn't worry about, as it doesn't seem to make sense for most people. But somehow, I'm very worried about learning things, as I won't remember them later. I hear and watch so many videos and podcasts, and research so much information... Yet, it seems like none of it is stored. I can't remember most of it. I really wish I could fix my sleep.

[@doublechindoge7]

It sucks how much your success at school depends on memory and not intelligence. "Don't let your schooling interfere with your education"

[@Rickfernello]

@@doublechindoge7 Well, my failure at school had many factors beyond memory; but it was all linked somehow. I slept in class (constant tiredness and sleepiness), I didn't do homework (because it was too hard since I didn't pay attention, and I didn't feel any motivation to do it). Perhaps if these problems were addressed earlier I wouldn't have failed school. I know I wouldn't do well on a college nowadays because it hasn't been solved. Or is this just an excuse for being lazy? Hell if I know.

[@doublechindoge7]

@@Rickfernello Well I obviously don't know enough about your life to say, but I just imagine that must come with a lotta concerns about your future. I just remember getting super paranoid when I did my GCSEs due to not having a great memory myself (but nowhere near that bad), but getting stressed about it was the worst thing I could have done. The tests I was worried about and therefore revised loads for I got middling marks for, but the ones I didn't stress over as much I did really well in. In fact, if you asked anyone, they would probably tell you that English was my weakest subject, but I ended up getting the best grades in my English (7 (A) for Literature and 9 (Better than A*, top 2%) for language) because I didn't really care about what I was gonna get in it. Anyway, I'm getting sidetracked. For those reasons I'd say that if school is a problem, obviously don't give up on it, but if you find something that does work for you don't shy away from it just because school is "more important".
