Horizon - How Violent Are You? - Milgram Experiment - Pt2

[starry4sky]

5:02 "I realised that you were either dead or weren't actually plugged into it anymore" - he thought he might be dead and he said it with a laugh in his voice. Surely that is the most disturbing moment.

This is why our world is as it is; it's so EASY for The Few to fuck over The Majority as specific aspects of the human condition are so malleable & susceptible to coercion & top-down manipulation, that if all the dominant social systems are gamed & managed by vested, sociopathic interests (that likewise manipulate the dominant cultural pastimes, as well as the dominant outlets for dispensing info INTO the society) few are psychologically capable of eschewing such deeply entrenched indoctrination

[geico1212]

damn she thinks its funny that she killed him?! wtf

[guzmancho]

The we are still just apes experiment.

[arniemazmax]

I would love to know if the 9 that went all the way if they were religious....i bet they were. :(

[HandmadeMercury]

Wish they would have interviewed Emma afterwards XD

[BarackBananaChannel]

the evil in this world is not our fault.

[Cougar139tweak]

@BarackBananaChannel Apathy is deadly, and yes evil is everyones fault.

[marsproject23]

I would like to see a table of participants IQs in correlate on to the level at which they stopped (obviously with 450 - which 6/9 people proceeded to being considered highest on the 'stopped at' scale).

[ilkinond]

I would like to receive some shocks from Emma.

[Eonfge]

@ilkinond She would kill you...

For some of the less bright respondents, see Wikipedia

[ilkinond]

@Eonfge Well, in somewhat more intimate context thsn the one seen here.

[SwedxSimon02]

Oh well, at the very least people didn't seem to enjoy it.

[tony21c]

i don't see the point of the experiment. why is it trying to prove an obvious phenomenon?

[FatDaddy4Fun]

Very impressive. I'd be interested to see how geographic locations and economic status reflect in this experiment. I am one of those that laugh hysterically when someonelese stubs their toe. I found myself laughing when the receivers shouted and cried. I was also sickened at the final result and tally. Very interesting experiment.

[texme]

Milgram Experiment is practice by the USA Military everyday. "Are you refusing an order solider?"

[Cougar139tweak]

@texme The only difference is usually the uniforms, I'm sure it's the same in all branches and nations. Squadrons/platoons what have you are "little worlds" and the CO is the King......Scary stuff, just glad all mine where stand up guys, not all of them are.

[jerryjamify]

these people seemed reluctant but there are people in government that would gladly flip the switch and light you up just to please their leader.

[ptran14444]

i can just imagine that girl flipping the switch on a gas chamber at a concentration camp and justifying it because "the professor said so". I have lost all faith in humanity, people are horrible creatures.

[athomas100100]

the point is you dont know how you would react until put into the situation. It is impossible to predict. No one can say what they would do.

[kimber202]

Unfortunately, I have the type of personality that would have stopped the experiment as the red haired man did..but I would have stopped at the first sound from the learner. This is the type of human I feel I am dealing with out there in general. I get impatient a lot, because people have seemingly lost the ability to make their own decisions and want an authority to tell them what to do.. These people became passive, submissive..very scary!!

[bloodninja5]

if someone does not obey the social roles layed upon by the authority figures when they are labelled as crazy and get locked up in psychiatric hospitals.

[Kinguppercut]

Thank you for posting this.

[nameofthepen]

Shocking a restrained stranger, throwing your puppy off a cliff, locking the stairwell doors in the wired for demolition World Trade Center buildings...

If we were looking for hell, and found Earth, it would often serve just as well...

[MephistoWaits]

Interesting that Phillip would bring up the Nazis, as that's why the test was developed, so see the extent of the nuremburg defence........"I was just doing what I was told"

[bloodlinehunter]

that sweet lil girl is a straight killa bitch from hell ya'll. she didn't flinch as mutch as i thought she would. and administer the deadly voltage. that guy that didn't do it appeared like he would in the beginning. but later he really stood up, with the intention to quit. somehow this made think of project mkultra. don't ask me why, but seeing reagular people going this far. a brainwashed agent could prosess hundred of learners without flinching. produce mass brainwashed agents BAM holocoust 2

[TheHolySpirit]

Today, how many people have you come across who are effectively doing exactly what we saw in the video and justify their immoral actions by deferring the responsibility to some other authority? Start gently asking people in these positions if they realise what they are doing. Wake them up before it is too late.

[nickwatchesthis]

very well put.... might i also add that these people were afraid that, if they didn't administer these fatal shocks to these imaginary subjects, they wouldn't get paid. it seems that everyone has a price today, from the doctor who prescribes some experimental narcotic for a commission, to the soldier behind the controls of a UAV armed with sidewinder missiles. money has us ALL by the balls.

[bloodlinehunter]

wich is pretty fucked up couse if you look at the world account balance. where in the big ass negative - baby

so actually there is no money going around.

[wait887]

"have we killed him?" hehe hehe. That's the disturbing part that she's nervously giggling.

[yeahwotevaman]

And that 19 year-old girl seemed so sweet!

[khesibrahim]

shes fit

[AMSnofozone]

That is messed up, that is really scary to think that just because someone was telling them to 9 out of 12 people would murder someone for ' science '

[wait887]

For science, politics, religion, or any other collectivist ideology.

[nameofthepen]

Spot-on, wait887. Sums it up perfectly.
