Not 4

meanwhile my stoopid brain needs atleast 6 hours whilst also never producing enough sleep or happy hormones

@Laucivol It sounds as if you are saying faith is to hope that history repeats?...

Placebo/nocebo - See any rhino attacks. No? This rock here prevents rhino attacks, 10 bucks.

I have damaged neurons though

I show slight narcoleptic symptoms

hm

bah!

im sure its finnnne

🌚

Thats an inaccurate portrayal of placebo/nocebo.

So the price of my easy sleeping and short sleep time is a cumulative sleepy days down the line

tfw you need 8 or more hours of sleep and can go to sleep 14-15 hours straight

Placebo/nocebo is actually way more interesting than you might think at first

Like once a month "out of the blue" I'll have several days where i am sleepy all day no matter how much i slept before

thats more like false causality

And I was not using it as an attack if thats what you think

I don't want to sleep my life away, y'know.

or uh god of the gaps

@Estavor.eldritch It's a summation of pretense. XD

than placebo

there are no rhinos

therefore it must be rock

Praise be to the true god

Nah, you're looking too far into the metaphor.

Rock.

*this is your brain on autism*

Like way too far into the metaphor.

But I've wondered... depending on how faith is defined, it can actually be very relevant to such things as medical or psychological recovery

yeah i have a tendency to do that

More so than some think

Theres some wisdom, then, in that form or definition of faith.

Yeah, and - regardless of validity - faith is useful.

But then you could say it involves deceit in a way

but to trust a doctor

to trust a ritual

Trust is not negative

well we know positive mindsets and happiness are linked to aging and life expectancy

the more unhappy you are

the quicker youll age
