    I was just thinking - this helps explain why ancient societies believed so much in things like voodoo, magic, or medical treatments that we know from modern experiments are barely effective. As long as they believed it was going to work, it sometimes would, which then proved to others in their society that it did work. This is a kind of self-reinforcing cycle for belief in things that aren't actually very effective.

      Also youtube compresses the audio, so nothing above about 16kHz (ish, don't remember the actual number) is actually played when you play a video. You can try this yourself at one of those "Check your hearing range" videos

    So... listening to this, I think I may have identified a nocebo effect taking place when I was in junior school, at about 9 years old. A bunch of people apparently got scarlet fever and started itching like crazy... about two thirds of the class was in the doctor's surgery on that same day, including myself. And like, it was real itching, real redness, REAL temperatures and sore throats, in many cases. But when I'd been home for like, a day, I was absolutely FINE. Half my class was back at school within a couple days. To this day, I have no idea who, if any of my classmates, actually HAD it. I guess this could be what it was...
