    Placebos work even when you knows it’s a placebo though. Pointing out something is a placebo is important because many are at best overpriced scams (homeopathy) and at worst actively harmful (chiropracty). The culture behind many placebos is also rife with pseudoscience and advocates against seeking out genuine care, so you should ensure nobody gets invested into placebos past a certain point.

    One can make an informed decision regarding taking placebos if and only if one knows it’s a placebo, else one will be scammed and/or harmed.











  • Nice quote. How about a few more?

    Jews are a people who cannot be trusted. They have been traitors to all agreements. Go back to history. Their fate is their vanishing

    • an imam of Hamas, 2008

    Suffering by fire is the Jews’ destiny in this world and the next. Therefore we are sure that the Holocaust is still to come upon the Jews.

    • another imam and Hamas legislator

    In order to annihilate those Jews. … O Allah, destroy the Jews and their supporters. O Allah, destroy the Americans and their supporters. O Allah, count them one by one, and kill them all, without leaving a single one.

    • Speaker of the Hamas parliament, 2012

    The Jews are behind each and every catastrophe on the face of the Earth. This is not open to debate. This is not a temporal thing, but goes back to days of yore. They concocted so many conspiracies and betrayed rulers and nations so many times that the people harbor hatred towards them. … Throughout history—from Nebuchadnezzar until modern times. … They slayed the prophets, and so on. … Any catastrophe on the face of this Earth—the Jews must be behind it.

    • a member of the Hamas parliament, 2012

    We all remember how the Jews used to slaughter Christians, in order to mix their blood in their holy matzos… It happened everywhere.

    • Hamas spokesman, 2014

    This conference bears a clear Zionist goal, aimed at forging history by hiding the truth about the so-called Holocaust, which is an alleged and invented story with no basis. (…) The invention of these grand illusions of an alleged crime that never occurred, ignoring the millions of dead European victims of Nazism during the war, clearly reveals the racist Zionist face, which believes in the superiority of the Jewish race over the rest of the nations. (…) By these methods, the Jews in the world flout scientific methods of research whenever that research contradicts their racist interests.

    • Hamas press release, 2000

    The Day of Judgment will not come until Muslims fight the Jews, when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say, ‘O Muslim, O servant of God, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.’ Only the Gharkad tree would not do that, because it is one of the trees of the Jews.

    • The former 1988 Hamas charter, but also a hadith in which islamists believe

  • Well, then there’s also a bunch of other stuff I didn’t mention:

    • cleaning the car costs a little every now and thrn because you mustn’t do it in your driveway
    • speeding tickets and other violations occur depending on how well you abide by the rules
    • TÜV et al. cost a little every few years
    • some parts may break due to bad luck - even Toyota cannot prevent stone chips on your windshield

    There are a lot of small hidden costs which all add up, even on cheap cars.
