The placebo effect is neuroscience's greatest magic trick! Your brain is literally sitting there like "Nope, not gonna heal you" until you swallow some sugar pill, and suddenly it's all "FINE, I'll do my job now." The most ridiculous part? Your brain knows it's being tricked and STILL falls for it. It's like your nervous system is running on the honor system. "Oh, you took medicine? I guess I have to do something now." Meanwhile, pharmaceutical companies are charging $50 for pills that are basically just spicy tic-tacs. Your brain is simultaneously the smartest and dumbest organ you have.
