Episode notes
Coffee Smell Hypnosis
- The smell of coffee can improve attention and memory, similar to its actual effects.
- This is due to associative memory (hypnosis), not placebo, by triggering past mental benefits.
Social Media Posting and Unhappiness
- Frequent social media posting correlates with mental health problems, but not necessarily causation.
- Unhappiness may drive posting, as happy people are less likely to seek external validation.
UFOs and the Unknown
- The Pentagon admits ignorance about UFOs, but this doesn't confirm alien life.
- Unexplained phenomena don't equal extraterrestrial visitation, just a lack of current understanding.
