how do you even "feel" an increase in T? more irrational aggression? acute hair loss?
I feel like there's this explot in human psychology:
People are pretty bad at matching causes to effects.
Doing something novel / outside your usual routine can feel pretty good, regardless of what it is you're doing.
Therefore: People who try weird diets, snake oils, or letting the sun shine on their asshole really do feel better afterwards, at least for a while. That must mean it works!
can confirm butthole is tanned now
It was supposed to be the taint, you fool! You've doomed us all!
Post hoc ergo proptor hoc
Good phrase
That's the placebo effect, baby. That's part of why's we's gots control groups in medical studies - to filter out the noise of just having hope now that you've got something new.
