Tell us about Minnesota ICE murder 2026 or Kent State 1970, or the Minnesota 35W bridge collapse.
We used to do this in med school classes around 2005. We asked students to take a "drug" and report effects. We had to stop because some students reported severe side effects. Even the shape and color can cause a placebo effect.
I case you wondering why health food shop supplements are packaged in pills and capsules and pill vials -they want the bullshit they are selling to look like a drug and ride the placebo effect to big money.
A good case study is Enzyte, marketed on late TV as an herbal ED remedy, with Bob.
They would give you a free sample if you called a number. It was all placebo, there was no drug. But this is not illegal. The owner of Enzyte was eventually shut down by the FBI for how they were handling money, tax evasion, laundering, ...but Enzyte triggered $250M in sales a year. While Steve Warshak got sentenced to 25 years in jail, they found an incredible $500M they seized.
You can still buy Enzyte today. Today the scam continues with gas station "drugs", some of which contain actual stimulants, but most contain rice powder or talc.

And when this is discovered they discontinue the conventional surgery as a treatment. Because that proves it isn’t effective.
Actually no. What this resulted in is drug companies arguing they ethically should not have to do sham surgery controls in trials. But approval of expensive surgeries that don't work is somehow ethical.
You mean classic 2006 news. All ED meds increase chance of vision problems.
Aschenbrenner overleveraged the fund 4:1 and it had no diversity from AI stocks. The problem is their blocks of holdings were so large they could not sell them to meet the margin calls. You can't just sell $16B in stock unless you dump it cheap.
Looks an awful lot like Citadel's Ken Griffin set all this up to fail as he bought these stocks at a heavy discount.
Anyone stupid enough to invest in a non diversified hedge fund run by a 24 year old does not deserve to keep their money.
That's not correct
Sham Surgeries: Invasive fake procedures (such as skin incisions for knee arthritis or Parkinson's treatments) consistently yield the largest placebo responses, sometimes matching real surgery outcomes entirely because the extreme ritual maximizes patient expectation.
Placebos constantly outperform "drugs" in psychiatric disorders.

There are a LOT of FDA approved, expensive drugs that do FUCK ALL and have serious side effects.
This is an old method of fingerprinting. Used to be common.

The reality is bipeds are poor designs for robots, the better design would be something close to arachnids. But Boston dynamics know they need to sell robots to society, so it's cute dance videos and dog like robots while they figure out how to strangle you efficiently.
