The placebo effect is the phenomenon of your body responding to a treatment even if it's not real. It happens so much, so strongly, and so often that it has to be factored in to any medical study.
It speaks to the amazing ability of the brain to physiologically change the body in surprising ways.

@@lolgamez9171 I think the issue is if you want to make a "fun movie" just make a new IP. No expectations nothing to hold your project up to to compare they have to judge it on its merits. If you chose to make a star wars epic conclusion you have placed those expectations on yourself. Dont be surprised at the backlash when you had the hubris to tell everyone you can do the best job with this. I dont care because starwars is awesome to me but I enjoy other stories better it's not so closely tied to my childhood. But why build hype you cant live up to and be mad at everyone else when you fail to live up to the expectations you yourself set?

[@silvergreylion]

@@InvasionAnimation There's an old mp3 called Stop Procrastinating, if you can find it somewhere. It has the soft sounds of a beach with waves coming in and perhaps very faint seagull squawks, but there's a subliminal message hidden in it. It works really well. There was stuff I had been putting off for maybe a year, and within five minutes, I had started doing it. Anyway, one needs to do away with the inner roadblocks you set up for yourself, and stop making excuses and doing other things merely to avoid doing the thing you actually want or need to do.

Force healing in some of the books was pretty neat. A few Jedi with extreme patience and focus basically used telekinesis to stitch cells back together and remove poisons from the blood molecule by molecule. What it wasn't was magical regeneration in just a few seconds by waving your hands around.

[@LEDewey_MD]

Corrected title: "The Brain's Incredible Healing Powers: Joe's Rant on 'Rise of Skywalker'.". Seriously, the placebo effect is a fascinating topic with powerful potential. There are well-designed studies, e.g., where giving a patient positive suggestions while under general anesthesia greatly decreased the need for post-op pain medication and the number of days spent in the hospital recovering. Hypnosis and "power of suggestion" are related. FEAR is a potent NEGATIVE "placebo effect", along with a person's complex BELIEFS. Very important topic!

[@johnpossum556]

It's not just placebo effect. The body naturally cures it self even without any treatment & their are studies out there about this. Don't think it's all placebo effect.

[@LEDewey_MD]

Just to clarify...no one said "everything is a placebo effect", although I think most people equate "the placebo effect" as the mind healing itself or healing the body. Just sayin'

[@joshuajohnson9390]

Thank you for the great videos, Joe. I always find them refreshing, informative, and entertaining. I have a strong belief in the placebo effect. When I was 8, and living in group homes, I had appendicitis. I was so scared and sad, that I kept it to myself. The pain was so bad I couldn't get out of my bunk. I knew that If I could feel exactly where the pain was, I could control it. I could feel the pain was in my stomach, so I imagined a box around my stomach, and the pain, and just, in my mind, pushed it away. I could still see the box beside me, but if I kept it there, the pain was gone. I went on this way for around 2 weeks until I collapsed at school one day, when it finally burst. I was told that my appendix had burst into my stomach through an ulcer I was suffering from, and I was lucky to be alive. So, to this day I have no appendix, noticeable internal scarring, and a strong belief in the mind's ability to control pain. Thank you, again, for the great videos, Joe.

[@OGSontar]

Some years ago, I went to the ER several times with extreme back pain. The first time, they gave me an injection of Morphine, but it actually seemed to have no effect. *Do note that I didn't use nor abuse drugs, so there was no tolerance to opioids.* The second time, was something a bit stronger (sorry, don't recall the name), with minimal effect. The third time, they gave me Dilaudid and I finally had some relief (just about knocked me out, actually). They also decided to give me a CAT scan, as there was concern I was faking it to get the meds, but as it turned out, I wasn't faking it at all (I knew that). Due to an injury some 30 years prior, my lower back was in very nasty shape, with herniated discs, and a couple that had actually ruptured, along with major compression of the nerves leading to my legs. Things are better now, although I still can just barely walk. Comprehensive treatment has made a major difference for me, and gave me my life back. I do wonder, however, why the Morphine seemed to do nothing, when my expectation was I would get relief, especially considering that it wasn't a placebo.

[@ashotofmercury]

Apologies if someone has already mentioned this, but it may be worth looking into yoga. A friend of mine has scoliosis of the spine and it helps her immensely...... 👌🏻☺️

[@ethanisnotme]

that’s so interesting. i wonder if your biochemical makeup makes you less responsive to opioids in general 🤔

[@jeanjaz]

I've known a few people who just aren't affected by opioids. And a larger number who aren't affected by novacaine. A percentage of the Korean population metabolize alcohol better and it takes much more for them to get drink and they don't suffer as much from hangovers. That percentage is dropping, btw. I don't know why. On the placebo effect, a couple thoughts. Some possibilities and personalities just don't respond as well to the placebo effect. As in the one example and the high altitude oxygen experiment, your body didn't have the previous experience of pain relief from morphine.

30 to 40 years ago i already heard weird things like this: One ( or more - I don't know ) condemned to death agreed to be part of an experiment. They told him they would cut his jugular artery to execute him. They actually just used the back of the knife and then poured warm water over his neck. He died with all the symptoms of bleeding out. One/some guy(s) were trapped in a refrigerated truck. Died with all the symptoms ... The cooling unit was switched off.

Knocked me around more than I expected but I maintained a positive feeling and recovered much faster than normal. All the docs were very impressed and praised my attitude and determination. There is a lot to be said for the power of positive thinking. Not seen "Rise" yet but looking forward to a good laugh.

[@viscache1]

After working for years in medicine, before having a horrific rock climbing accident, I saw this many times. It is absolutely real. I saw guys from Afghanistan who couldn’t walk after treatment for a serious injury. When a neurologist came in and told them there was no reason they couldn’t walk…about a third of them leaned into their PT and within days were walking. So much healing is how hard the patient really wants to recover and be rid of the Dr and medicine….or how much they think they can’t live normally without it.

To their credit, they did say hyperdrive kamikaze was a 1 in a million chance of working in Rise of Skywalker. Which retroactively makes Holdo's decision to use it pretty stupid. She would have been better off just rotating the ship to provide cover for the escaping craft.

[@squirlmy]

So does that mean Brexit ruined Force Healing in the UK?

[@joshuarichardson6529]

Nothing about "the force" makes sense. According to the RPG books, Force Lightning is a dark-side power, but Force Choke is a neutral power either side can use. So generating electricity requires you to be a child-murdering psychopath, but choking a person to death is a morally neutral act. Also, there are two versions of healing people in SW. The light-side has Force Healing, which charges a person with "light-side energy" to cure their wounds. The dark-side have their own version, a vampiric Steal Life power which heals the user while draining the target of life.

I love these videos, and this was very informative (and hilarious!), but I'm pretty disappointed that there was no mention at all of contemporary psychedelic therapies or of ancient entheogenic customs. The DMT in ayahuasca and the psilocybin in magic mushrooms, for instance, are still used in indigenous communities as medicines for ailments of the body as well as the "soul" or "self", after hundreds or thousands of years of tradition. The link between consciousness and healing is still such a mystery to science that we should be using (and talking about) all the available resources we have to see if there is something missing in the way we approach the psyche and its limits.The many organisations and universities around the globe studying and implementing psychedelic research and therapy are well beyond second-guessing about the benefits of the responsible expansion of consciousness and the subsequent rewiring of the brain due to its neuroplasticity.

I was so stressed about the big needle and thinking the meds were never going to calm down enough and went into an absolute panic spiral which was probably way worse than it would have been if i hadn't been given anything at all lol

I've always thought Stonehenge was like the greatest troll of all time. Like some prankster built a few thousand years ago when he was drunk with his Bros. As they snickered they would say... "This is gonna be awesome... Just imagine a few years from now everyone's gonna be like... Dude, what the hell is this, let's like study it and do a bunch of sciencey things to it".. and his bud would be like, " oh hell yeah man, they won't ever be able to figure this out... " Or whatever the ancient equivalent of that conversation would be. Eventually something is going to pop out of the ground with a little flag that says "BOOM" on one side and "Gotcha" on the other. ..,........ Or maybe not... Just spitballin'

I went there for the first time in my life, paid extra to walk amongst the stones after visitor hours. It was awesome. Even if this was true, I'd still have gone 😄 wasn't allowed to touch them, £2000 fine or 6months jail if you damaged them?

On the space thing...so many space movies depict really noisy spacecraft as they zoom through the shot. It is amazing how well sound carries through the airlessness of space...

@5:00 correction! The Star Destroyers were in atmosphere. A mile or so above ground.

I was just watching your video on the population explosion and it got me thinking about soil science, have you ever considered doing a video on soil organisms and their ability to sequester carbon, also no till farming?

"Why do we stop re-growing our teeth?" - a pertinent question. What's up with that? Why does it stop happening all of a sudden? From an evolutionary standpoint it just doesn't make any sense ... we _need_ our teeth right up until the moment of death so it doesn't make sense that this is some sort of evolutionary trait. Is it possible that we stopped re-growing our teeth due to some sort of placebo effect?

[@justinmallaiz4549]

incorrect.. You need your teeth up until you reproduce.... and then to a smaller degree : sufficiently raise and protect your young.. After that your existence, and evolutionary influence is questionable :)

[@alflud]

@@justinmallaiz4549 By that logic you might as well say as soon as we reproduce _we_ aren't needed any more, yet our hands don't rot and fall off, nor our feet. We continue to survive after because it's in our genes to do so, regardless of whether or not nor how many times we reproduce, and in order to survive we _must_ eat. I still don't get it. It still bothers me. I can't see any reason why we would stop growing our teeth. An adult body has everything it needs to produce a new tooth and we all _know_ it has the ability because we've _all_ re-grown teeth so ... I dunno, what is it that turns that mechanism off? It's not like producing a new tooth will kill you.

LOVE these Disney Star Wars critique videos! Thanx🙏 👍

This was so fun, funny and interesting, we need the ability to nominate videos for KZbin awards

[@NeverMetTheGuy]

Was it REALLY necessary to remind us that Star Wars has been destroyed? C'mon, maaaannnnn.

[@foty8679]

@Lucius Martius I liked the GoT Ending AND the Star Wars ending. Yes it was different, but i liked it.

[@DapperHesher]

@Lucius Martius You could always watch the horrible train-wreck that was the prequels.

[@Nik.No.K]

Oh whatever, some people will never be satisfied no matter what because it’s just “not the same!” As the original trilogy. I very much enjoyed the new movies and you know what else? I grew up on the prequels and they’re still by far my favorite.

[@AllTrueIsHim]

I AM YELLING AND WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR STAR WARS COMMENTS, thank you.

[@jessekoehler1045]

Loved all the starwars references. Hoping there is no copyright issues because videos like this are great!

BTW, from your channel, several months ago, I was introduced to Curiosity Stream, to which I am now happily addicted. Thanks for that, too.

Fun Fact: Endorphins = Endogenous + Morphines

[@isaacc3307]

Colin Is that true? Or you trolling.

[@colinwatt00]

Srt-10 Mopar - this is true. The development of Morphine predated the discovery of endorphins by 172 years (assuming the dates on Wikipedia are correct). Thus, the naming occurred in reverse order to what you might classically expect.

[@CAMacKenzie]

my younger brother used to get carsick all the time, so one day I gave him some gum, and told him it had a chemical called placebo in it. This worked for 3 years.

[@Blessedup69]

“If you believe it, then it it true”

[@diyeana]

I don't have a problem with placebo therapy, as long as it works for a person and no one is getting rich off selling non-science backed _cures_ for deadly diseases or people arent giving advice that may end up harming a person. Ex: don't give your child Tamiflu, give him thyme & elderberries instead...
