still might work
- reverius42 2y agoWould be interesting to see a paper published on the efficacy of the placebo effect in exorcisms.
- leoqa 2y agoMany parents use monster spray to combat night visions, seems effective.
- amelius 2y agoIf those were my parents I would have required them to spray every little corner of my room.
- card_zero 2y agoThe idea is that you give the monster spray to the small child, who then ceases to be scared of monsters. This didn't work one notable time when the monster turned out to be 50,000 bees, nesting behind the closet wall.

- pc86 2y agoThis presumes that some exorcisms are not placebos.
- the_sleaze_ 2y agoProve they aren't. (only semiserious)
- bandie91 2y agopeople still believe they have a self-consistent world view when they dismiss the extra-natural world just because it is not accessible by natural means. it's like "there are no forests because you can't drive in them because there are no motorways in them"

- wruza 2y agoIf a world can only be accessed through very specific patterns in neuron activity, but not through “natural” physical measurements, this world is imaginary by definition. Millions of dollars are awaiting those who can confidently sync their imagination at a distance, but all these people who claim these objective worlds real are traditionally “above money”, keeping us in the dark.
