Interesting Stuff The Nocebo Effect - I had never heard of this term until this article, but it’s an interesting concept. Basically, it’s the opposite of the placebo effect where the patient gets bad outcomes from a completely inert medication. The fascinating part is that so many people tend to ascribe it to dark spiritual forces, which, given that the article’s author holds a materialist world-view, is not given any credence. Still, how people can cause themselves harm by believing it is a sad, but crazy idea.
