Two thoughts from Ben Goldacre:
“I spend a lot of time talking to people who disagree with me - I would go so far as to say that it's my favourite leisure activity”
“You are a placebo responder. Your body plays tricks on your mind. You cannot be trusted.”
i love a good trick! (or maybe i only THINK i love a good trick... i also spend a lot of time talking to myself, which is sometimes a person who disagrees with me. or maybe i don't!)
thanks for all of this in general and these quotes in specific! real fun and meaningful ones!
