After reading this article, it got me thinking. There are lots of these in society. Elevator buttons for closing the doors, buttons in the voting booth (R/D...it's the same thing), neg rep button on USMB, they are everywhere. Any place a person gets instant gratification where there is no practical cause/effect relationship between the act and what happens next is an example of the placebo conspiracy in action. Heck, most of professional sports is just one big placebo button...right there on the remote control. ITS A CONSPIRACY!
Placebo buttons do absolutely nothing, and they are everywhere
Can anyone think of other examples?
