When I was 14, my friends and I went to see Madagascar 3 - told our parents and then walked to and from the theater by ourselves. When I got home, my mom asked me all kinds of questions about the movie, and I told her about it, and I kept singing the stupid Afro Circus song

One day, between our pokemon trips, my friends and I crashed at my house. We bided our time by baking some sugar-packed monstrosity brookies and settling down for a movie.

About halfway through, my dad comes up, visibly shaken. We pause the movie and ask him what what's up.

"Did you put...something... in the brownies? I had a couple of them, and I'm feeling weird."

My friends and I are thoroughly confused for about two seconds. And then it clicks. This entire time, my Dad has been convinced that 'Pokemon Go' has been code for hotboxing. He's placeboed himself into thinking that we've made weed brownies under his own roof. Mind you, to this day, I have never had even a puff of weed.

And then 90% of scientists, researchers, government officials, reporters, etc. who had a conscience all decided that it would be super unethical to act on pretty much any of that research, we have to convince people on the merit of the ideas alone--

And as a result, the only people who actually implemented most of that research on how to effectively change someone's mind were people who didn't care about ethics
