What happens in the dark?

I got to thinking that I was thinking about thinking a few day's back. And as I thought, I asked myself if the following statements are true and why:

"What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas"
"What you don't know, won't hurt you"
"I think, therefore I am"

Though, I have my own opinion on all of these statements, I would like to know your opinion.

My last post: "What happens in the dark?" briefly explains some points related to the subject at hand.

In concern to the placebo effect and pain, I believe that using a placebo to prove a point to a person who has become dependent on a certain over the counter drug is a good idea. One day,You could make the individual believe that he is taking a miracle drug you recently discovered, while in reality taking a sugar pill. Then if they comment saying, "Wow, that drug is miraculous". You can laugh right in front of their faces and tell them the truth.

But, going back to the original question, "What is your opinion?".

How bizarre...the discussions front page indicates that I have commented to this thread, but on the comments page, my comments are not showing up. Strange, strange, strange!
