      What's worse is he linked to an article about how "the placebo effect has been increasing in America" without reading it The fact it's steadily increasing is evidence it's a statistical artifact and it's NOT a sign that Americans' spiritual power of positive thinking is growinghttps://twitter.com/nberlat/status/1243183599584792576 …

      Replying to @StephenFrug
      he was saying anti malarial drugs could serve as a placebo and therefore be helpful. problem is (a) there are side effects, up to and including death, and (b) people who actually need those drugs experience shortages.

      Look around you, does it seem like Americans have more spiritual energy to improve our health with optimism and hope than other countries, or that this power is increasing in our society as years pass

      It's like how the Flynn effect (IQ scores keep on going up with every generation) is evidence that *something is wrong with the way IQ tests work*, not that we're all objectively twice as smart and twice as good at solving life problems as our great-grandparents were

      (The most obvious explanation being "gaming the metrics", that as testing has become more a part of everyone's lives we just get better at taking tests Something similar is probably going on with "professional patients" in clinical trials)

          I think a substantial portion of the Flynn Effect is real—better nutrition and universal education really are a big deal. Some portion of that universal education is for peculiar test-taking skills, yes, but much of it is legitimate thinking skills.

          Yes, children in rural Kenya are definitely gaming the metrics.

          Hell a lot of the games on our phones are just colorful animated IQ test questions.
