The Universality Effect
Back in the days of newspapers and radio, social psychologists discovered quite an interesting effect: if an opinion was voiced on the radio or written in newspapers, people began to perceive it as common, an opinion shared by the majority.
👉🏻 And that's how this manipulation technique, the "universality effect", appeared.
Thus during World War II, the German air force was not numerous at first.
However, the German cinematography immediately began to dazzle with films about aircraft and their power.
So people formed an opinion on the greatness of their aviation at that point, although it was an artificially created illusion.

"I hate Russians" - the consul of Norway, Elisabeth Ellingsen, threw a tantrum in Murmansk because the cleaning of her room “took way too long". This is a diplomat of a large European state. Imagine what would happen to the woman if she said the same about the "Jews", "Arabs" or "Asians". And in this case, she will almost certainly get away with it. Russophobia is now normal, legal, and mainstream. In fact, you’re not considered a good person if you’re not against the evil Russians 😁

In the past decade it was passed to be illegal by their judges!
Pathetic! You know! They are everywhere and you know Goddamn Who!

Could slowing down biological time help save soldiers lives in the future? DARPA has started to explore a potential solution. They believe it should be possible to extend the so-called Golden-Hour by slowing down the wounded soldier's biological clock [in a manner similar to the wood frog].

Strange Blood: The Rise and Fall of Lamb Blood Transfusion in 19th Century Medicine and Beyond by Boel Berner
In the mid-1870s, the experimental therapy of lamb blood transfusion spread like an epidemic across Europe and the USA. Doctors tried it as a cure for tuberculosis, pellagra and anemia; proposed it as a means to reanimate seemingly dead soldiers on the battlefield. It was a contested therapy because it meant crossing boundaries and challenging taboos. Was the transfusion of lamb blood into desperately sick humans really defensible? The book takes the reader on a journey into hospital wards and lunatic asylums, physiological laboratories and 19th century wars. It presents a fascinating story of medical knowledge, ambitions and concerns - a story that provides lessons for current debates on the morality of medical experimentation and care.

TIL that the "devil's advocate" was a title given in the Catholic Church. The Devil's Advocate's job was to argue against the canonization of any candidate.
