Yet that's what Swiss and American scientists demonstrate in new experiments with a nasal spray containing the hormone oxytocin. After a few squirts, human subjects were significantly more trusting and willing to invest money with no ironclad promise of a profit.
The researchers acknowledged their findings could be abused by con artists or even sleazy politicians who might sway an election, provided they could squirt enough voters on their way to the polls.
"Of course, this finding could be misused," said Ernst Fehr of the University of Zurich, the senior researcher in the study, which appears in Thursday's issue of the journal Nature. "I don't think we currently have such abuses. However, in the future it could happen."
Carefully read the above, then look at the picture. Can you see the hidden message implications in this one. A pile of dollars, a spray of green that says "Trust Me!" On the same day that the SEC was put under control of the the corporations themselves. Yes indeed, spraying our money with oxytocin, a chemical released in mother's breast milk to create the loving bond of connection between child and mother, will help people overcome their suffering from post autistic economics. The cure for PAE has been a desperate struggle to maintain a failing system with the illusions and magic of semantics, semiotics, and now it looks like chemical molecules. We have to enjoy this to the fullest, for the complete sham that it is.
