I still have a half-joke conspiracy theory that the information that placebos work even if you know they're placebos is in itself benevolent misinformation to induce a real placebo effect about placebos you know are placebos.

I remember a product from years ago with the phrase "Genuine Placebo Effect" on the label. Wish I could remember what it was.

Seems like getting even more attention, potentially thanks to Shrödinger effects

Because the defining quality of a Placebo is how much of anything it receives

Rauschenberg's white painting was the OG placebo meme.
