eal and will solve some problem then you give somebody the fake pill and you see how they do. You compare it to the real drug. Now if the real drug improves people's condition more than the placebo that you're likely to get improved, you know if there are no side effects or if there are minimal side effects.

Now this largely proves, wouldn't you say, because whenever they do this study you always get this effect. The people who take the fake pill very predictably, not 100 percent of the time but predictably, they'll have a substantial kind of a benefit.

So would you agree that the placebo effect is one of the most studied and guaranteed to be real effects you've ever seen in science? How many would say that that's guaranteed to be real? Because nothing, I don't think anything's been studied this much. Has anything ever been studied as much as this? Because every time they do a study this shows up. Like you don't even have to be looking for it and it's everywhere. I mean the placebo effect is just everywhere. So it's real.

In the comments can you at least acknowledge that the placebo effect is real so that I can go on to my next point? It's real, right? Everybody knows it's totally real. Yeah, totally real.

All right. Maybe not. Maybe not. Do you know if they don't study, because they don't have to, what they don't study is somebody who took no pill at all. Do you know what would happen if they did? Suppose every test was placebo in one group, a real drug in another group, and then the thing that they don't study but what if they did no pill at all and you don't even know you're in the study. So they'd have to even not even know they're in the study.

What do you think that would be? Just take a guess. What do you think the do nothing and you're not even in the study would look like? Foreign. That's right. The people who did absolutely nothing, they improve about the same as the placebo.

Do you know what that means? It means everything you've ever heard about the placebo was, it's always been, it was easy to prove. Easy to prove. And for your entire life the people that you trust, the scientists, told you they did some science and then they told you they used their statistical genius to prove that the thing called the placebo effect is a real thing.

Now I'm seeing somebody say this is incorrect so I'm open to correction because I'm not completely sure this is true. I'll tell you that. You know it's just something I ran across on the internet recently. But as soon as I saw it I thought to myself, well I'm pretty sure they don't study the person who wasn't in the study. I'm pretty sure that's not a normal thing.

And I do know that in the normal course of things most people improve if you do nothing or at least they say they improved. Maybe they just got used to it so they said they improved. Who knows. Some of them might be some of that but I don't know. I'm open for fact checking. I'm open for fact checking.

But remember we live in a zero trust environment where science is mostly, mostly the vast majority of the things you call science are, and apparently you always have been from the so-called nutrition, you know the nutrition triangle that was from day one. It was never even attempted to be true. But if the placebo effect isn't real what can you believe?

Wanna see another one? Do you think I could do this again? Let's see.

You probably know that RFK Jr. says that solar might be a good green technology but it's not economical if you include all of the other costs. You know because everything has you know closing down costs and maybe social costs and then there's how long it takes to get approval and all that stuff. Now also with the solar power people will say hey you forgot to include the recycling costs you know blah blah blah blah right?

So let me ask you the question. You all watch the news. You know this is the most informed group I've ever seen. Literally it's the most informed group of news watchers. So you all watch the news and you know you all know that climate change, no matter what you think of the reality of it, you would agree it's maybe the biggest issue outside of Ukraine I guess. Maybe the biggest issue, right?

So but at least you're recycling your plastic, right? All right. Is everybody recycling their plastic at least trying to help? As Michael Shellenberger informed you recently, do you know that the plastic recycling has never been real? It's never been real. They don't recycle the plastic that you separate. They throw it in the garbage and they ship it to Asia and it ends up in the ocean and your water supply and always has and always has.

Recycling isn't real. Plastic, I think maybe metal cans is real. Maybe cardboard is real. I don't know. But plastic re
