Major journals like The Lancet Psychiatry published 2026 reviews explicitly arguing that placebo effects should not merely be dismissed as "noise" in trials, but studied and potentially harnessed clinically.
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S2215036626000180

Researchers are increasingly investigating the neurobiology behind placebo responses - dopamine, endogenous opioids, expectation pathways, immune modulation, predictive processing, and brain-network effects.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41631062/

There is growing interest in "open-label placebos," where patients are told they are receiving a placebo yet sometimes still improve. That challenges the older assumption that deception was required.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41631062/

Some clinical fields - especially pain management, psychiatry, anesthesia, and psychosomatic medicine - are actively discussing how doctor-patient interaction, expectation, ritual, reassurance, and treatment framing measurably affect outcomes.
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s12871-025-03579-w

There are even discussions about updating clinical guidelines to account for placebo/nocebo effects in practice.https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12936006/

Science will not be able to comprehend that to make sickness vanish forever all it takes is a change of perception.

So everybody knows that we can't prove the many worlds interpretation of Everett because it's hard to show quantum effects on macroscopic objects, but I think I found the solution.
Generate a photon through spontaneous emission of an atom, the photon is in a supersposition of being emitted and not being emitted.
Now hit an Anglo with said photon, if he turns red the photon hit him, if he didn't he won't turn red.

This experimental setup should allow for quantum superposition to be seen with the naked eye

Gravity don't "create" energy, same as magnets don't create energy.
It's a field, and like, say, electricity, by measuring it at two points, you can have a delta.
So, potentially, a rock in the air can gather kinetic energy, and the same rock at ground level won't have any potential kinetic energy.
You measured the potential at two places, and in that case, you had a delta.
You can extract energy from it tho, like placing a rope from the boulder to a generator.
And so you will convert some kinetic energy into electricity.
But it won't be really "creating" energy, because, one way or an other, you had to lift the boulder (probably using more energy than what you gather).
As far as I know, the only way to potentially beat the system is by using one of the 3 other fundamental forces to charge your "kinetic energy storage".
But at human scale, gravity beats weak forces, strong interactions, and magnetism.

Be my guest to try tho, if you find a way, that would be great.

I mean, the sun already beat you with the water cycle, but other already used that with hydroelectricity.

No, if that were the case, trees couldn't get water to their leaves and paper towels couldn't absorb water. They are able to do that because water tends to travel against gravity through tubes using capillary action, but that is generally limited which is why trees can only grow so tall even when having other adaptations that add a bit of pressure from the bottom.

Not even close. Salvia lasts for 10-20 min, then just feels like a mild weed high for a couple hours. At its peak, it's similar to LSD, but nowhere near as intense. Do they still sell it in shops? It's been a while since I've seen any.

Okay i'm going to give you a real answer to help you understand this.

the brain is made up of different regions, which are populations of neurons that all work together to do some specific job or general function. Lets take something like picking out important information in a scene, that's handled by your visual processing network. Sometimes the network wants to gather information from a distant place in the brain like the hippocampus, the way it does this is by *growing a nerve projection* to the distant target, and then exchanging chemical messengers. The neurotransmitters are sent to very specific places

There are some very special places in the brain where the neurotransmitters sent directly correspond to sensory information. If drugs fuck with neurotransmitters here, the organism hallucinates. Its not evolved away because this specific sub-type of serotonin receptor probably doesn't encounter massive doses of a special chemical that fucks with it on a regular basis. Otherwise it would just not respond, same as toxin immunity works for other creatures that habitually eat something that would mess up the systems in their close relatives. They acquire a change in their receptors such that the toxin no longer works. But they only get that by exposure to the toxin over and over again.

Humans are not exposed to psychedelic mushrooms on a long enough time to develop an evolutionary response like a resistance via altered receptors. There is evidence however, of human populations developing genetic resistance to alcohol for instance. We just haven't consumed psychedelic mushrooms for thousands of years like people are saying otherwise there actually would be mutations

with LSD, noticable activity starts at maybe 50μg
Salvinorin is more like 200μg
for effects, yes its short acting, but you can very easily get a breakthrough experience that throws you into a completly different world and the 5minutes you spend there can feel like you lived a whole lifetime.
LSD can do that, but you need pretty ridiculous doses that not many take.
>>16978203
tryptamine derived psychedelics aren't toxic (many dont even have an established LD50 and not for lack of trying) and DMT is even an endogenous neurotransmitter.
we clearly react to these substances, because they play an important role in our cognitive function.
"drugs fuck with neurotransmitters" is an incredible ignorant and unsatisfactory explanation of their effects.

If the reality can be divided, it can't be infinite as it would then be a collection of finite parts. If it is finite, then it wouldn't exist as if it is finite it would have to be limited by something outside of itself.

A circle is infinite and you can cut a circle in half.
Infinite just means "without bound".
This is your introduction to infinity and it literally only gets harder to make sense of when you look into transfinite arithmetic.

It's a neat observation but mathematics already started started challenging what this meant around 200 years ago.
OP's post brought to you from Chris Langan's university of ill-defined bullshit with one foot in philosophy that makes no sense.

> If the reality can be divided, it can't be infinite as it would then be a collection of finite parts.
What is the unit of measure by which the division is undertaken? In this case, you have presumed that reality is finite that assuming that the parts (the units of division) are finite. A truly infinite division in which the parts are not limited by each other finds each identical to the greater infinity.

> If it is finite, then it wouldn't exist as if it is finite it would have to be limited by something outside of itself.
"Reality" is not finite.

>>16975170
> Reality is likely the expression of an unknowable framework.
Expression as in expression in thought? Well yes, absolute reality is unknown in the absolute sense at any concrete point in time. Absolute knowledge of absolute reality does not exist, though human beings progress towards a closer and closer picture of reality. Engels likened it to an asymptote.

>>16977891
>A circle is infinite and you can cut a circle in half.
A circle is both infinite and finite, but it is finite in the sense that OP means it in that its finitude is defined precisely by something outside of itself. In the abstract representation of a circle, its finitude is in its not collapsing into the abstract space that surrounds it. Concretely, it is obvious that a ball is a finite region of spacetime, but it is continuous, and that continuity is infinite.

That is to say, it is a contradiction. But reality consists of contradictions. Again, Hegel.

I have written a model for dating markets that basically conclude the existence of hoeflation and proves mathematically how hoeflation is not only akin to regular inflation but also showing hoeflation as a market failure, hoeflation is precisely analogous to hyperinflation, because of individually rational price-setting that is collectively destructive. I think I'll be writing it as a paper, should I post the draft here?

As of mid-2025, almost 2% of all citations on papers uploaded to the Social Science Research Network are hallucinated.

On arXiv, PubMed Central, and bioRxiv, the rise in hallucinations has also been substantial.
