Dan Ariely - Why Do Placebos Work?

yeah

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.

Pretty sure the accent is Israeli. Hebrew.

Woo! i predicted the results of that first study! take that, internet!

Also, what accent is he speaking in?

It sounds sort of French... but I'm not really sure. I think it's a mix of French and something else... maybe something Germanic.

(I don't actually know, so don't take me too seriously)

I am almost thru reading Dan Ariely's book, 'Predictably Irrational." It is truly facinating

I sold fake weed to a guy and he said he got high.

scandalous

I sold a homeless man rubbing alcohol in a vodka bottle...he died... : (

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