J. R. R. Tolkien – The Fall Of Gondolin
The beauty of the evening seemed ominous of disaster.
It was the closing of a book that would never be read again, and better close such a book than leave it lying about to get dirtied.
The volume of their past must be restored to its shelf, and here, here was the place, amid darkness and perishing flowers.
A placebo cure is almost always temporary, and we are looking for permanent resolution of the pain. Therefore, we would not be satisfied with a placebo cure. This is all too common. People are administered a large variety of physical treatments, feel better for a few days, and then need another treatment. (And, of course, they never overcome their fear of physical activity.) One of the reasons I know the TMS program does not induce a placebo reaction is the fact that almost all patients have permanent resolution of symptoms.
A second reason is that the placebo effect is based on blind faith; patients know little or nothing about the disorder they have and the rationale for treatment. They simply trust the treating practitioner. The educational program employed in the treatment of TMS is the very opposite. I teach patients literally all I know about the disorder; they are encouraged to ask questions, and they are warned that they must find the diagnosis logical and consistent. Their recovery depends on information, on awareness. They are active participants in the recovery process. This is anything but a placebo process.
Perhaps the most compelling argument that what we do is not a placebo is the fact that on numerous occasions since the publication of the book Mind Over Back Pain, the predecessor of this one, people have reported complete and permanent resolution of pain simply by reading the book. There is no personality influence here, no bedside manner; just plain, solid information. And we have learned that that's what it takes to banish TMS.

The Darwin Effect
Prof. Dr. Jerry Bergman, Darwinizm'in 2. Dünya Savaşı'nın üzerindeki etkisi hakkında şöyle bir tespitte bulunmaktadır:
Darwinci fikirlerin Alman düşünce sistemi ve uygulaması üzerinde çok büyük bir etkiye sahip olduğuna dair deliller çok açıktır...Aslında Darwinci fikirlerin II. Dünya Savaşı'nın çıkması, 40 milyon insanın ölümü ve yaklaşık olarak 6 trilyon doların kaybedilmesinde çok büyük bir etkisi vardı. Evrimin gerçek olduğuna kesin olarak inanan Hitler kendisini insanoğlunun günümüzdeki kurtarıcısı olarak görmüştü... Daha üstün bir ırk üretmek suretiyle, dünya Hitler'e, insanlığı evrimin daha üst bir seviyesine çıkarmış olan adam olarak bakacaktı.
