Ethical dilemma of placebos. If they give relief...?
- Sayrus 6y agoIs the price part of the placebo?
- BiteCode_dev 6y agoYes. More value, more effect.
- djaychela 6y agoI know what you mean - and the relief side of it is OK, but the downside is that people then think that this is a real thing, and 5G really is the issue, and they're right to do this, etc... When I try to think about it in terms of the effect on people, it's much more complex than my initial "you muppets deserve to be relieved of £300 for believing total rubbish" reaction. You then think 'well, these people just need to be educated about this and then they'll see what's actually happening', but those kinds of strategies don't have the success rate you'd hope for in a rational world. I wonder how many they've sold?
- robin_reala 6y agoThe problem is that it’s one more step on the road to burning 5G masts because they cause COVID.
- ClikeX 6y agoI'm fine with placebo's if people get relief. The problem with this is that it validates the 5G hate.
