Belief effects scale according to the amount and type of information received, unlike placebo effects which are binary.

“in many ways what I was describing were belief effects it's a little bit difficult to disentangle what's a placebo effect and what's a belief effect in general belief effects have to do with acquiring a bit more information or specificity of information about what the expectation should be”

“this is different than Placebo because now it's scaling according to the amount and the type of information that they're getting”

“belief effects have a lot of knowledge to enrich one's belief about a certain something that can shift their Psychology and Physiology one way or the other”
