ppl

are irrational beings if one thinks something is real then it becomes real hence the placebo effect in medicine

if one believes wi-fi is bad for you one tends to think it is the cause of your problems

So the answer should be to have big headlines in the local newspapers: "WiFi Problems All Solved" "No one can get hurt by WiFi anymore", maybe that would convince them they were all better

that's correct if it said wifi was good for health ppl would probably actually claim it helped them

just like when they had on the radio years ago that there was an alien attack (it was a show pretended to be a news broadcast)even though there was no attack ppl were panicked they left there house stoves caught fire ppl blamed aliens and all heck broke loss

These people remind me of the type of individual that no matter how strong the evidence is they put their hands over their ears, close their eyes, shake their head, and loudly say, "La, la, la, la" over and over again.

Just goes to show you that some people will always take their beliefs and fears and trump them over reality and reason. I guess irrationality is one of the prices we have to pay for being the most intelligent organisms on the planet

So just what do you think marketing is based on?? It may not necessarily be big bold and large print in the newspaper, but they use the ability to suggest in advertising and after one hears it enough that start to believe it.

The person is smart. People are dumb, panicky and violent, and you know it.
Seems appropriate here.

The hands over their ears La, La, La, La people who refuse to accept truth remind me of the people who hear proof that Hillary lies over and over and still think she is the greatest thing since slice d bread. La, La, La, La, La
