im actually oposite of what he said in the video. if i know painkillers are cheap i will think that i have access to more and consentrate on the effects ti see how much i need or if thats enough. but if ihave expensive painkillers i expect them to work the first time and fell uneasy about them the whole time because i have to rely on them so heavily. thank you if you've actually read this insanely long comment.

This dude is a good speaker. He gave a Ted Talk as well everyone should take a look at that. Reallly really interesting.
