19 September 2023 - placebo

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

As king of the world, my duty is to help solve the problems of my vict--that is, my citizens. I believe in transparency, so that any vict--any disagreeing citizens will know when to turn themselves in for treatment. And for good results, I will follow data-informed research-based policies. In particular--I explain this for transparency--I will rely on the placebo effect.

clue:

Research suggests that the placebo effect may work even on vict--I mean, patients who know they’re getting a placebo.

give me a clue so sweet and true
