When two or more people have similar false beliefs about another person, it's possible this could influence the person's behavior. Researchers Stephanie Madon, Max Guyll, Richard Spoth, and Jennifer Willard, all at Iowa State University, examined this phenomenon to see how much influence those collective beliefs have in determining a positive or negative reality.

Remember that whole Black Plaque thing? How millions across Europe died because of their lack of sanitation? People wish and hoped for the world to end. And it didn�t.

You know, some times I think(yea surprising isnt it)...What if this whole apocalypse nonsense was just some big scam to sell...I don�t know, bottled water. Or storm sheds. I mean think about it. The apocalypse has become so commercial. Its just so...2000ish.
Guaranteed if the world was to end a week from today, huge corporations would be scrambling to create Apocalypse commemorative plates. McDonalds would create the 'Armageddon Burger'. And don�t forget, bottled water sales would sky rocket. Have to be hydrated for when the end of the world comes!

I have to agree with you Simulacra -our world got commercial, and many corporation are trying to sell even the end
Does it mean we have to go along with this - let's buy another 'Armageddon Burger' and put ourselves into "don't think about reality" state?
