    I agree she was prepared for it and expected it but still fucked. She didn’t tell them to be cruel…she just said they were allowed to. Reminds me of the Stanford prison experiment where you kind of give people a tacit permission to be evil…so they do and then we are confronted with the aftermath. I just can’t imagine I could cause someone’s skin to bleed purposefully and not feel awful…

    Not the same but related…this guy was shot as an art piece

      The Stanford prison experiment couldn’t be replicated and the data are widely considered useless in psychologist community. Basically someone wanted to be famous so they created a shocking but fake study.

        If I correctly remember my psychology lessons from 10+ years ago though, the results of Milgram’s experiment has been reproduced countless times which sort of backs up the original point.

        Just get any warehouse or factory in UK where the moment somebody steps up as middle management they start being ultra evil to the employees who are too weak to do anything as they’re bound by visas etc.

        I’ve seen it happen so many times, at some point I’ve been offered a job position and they told me “yeah the salary is not attactuve but you get to yell at “pakis” all day”

        Like what the fuck

      The Stanford Prison Experiment was a sham and couldn’t be replicated.

      This Art project still seems gruesome…

        There was no experiment. There was a LARP, in which the GM explicitly instructed the players to be abusive to one another. So they did. After a couple days of this bullshit, the GM’s girlfriend made him stop the game.

        It wasn’t so much a sham as it was a gigantic mess, and that’s the lesson. Zimbardo conducted one hell of a mess that had to be ditched less than halfway through and was only ditched because a grad student of his came in and was appalled by what he was letting happen as part of his “role” as the warden. He’d gotten directly involved in the study and as a result fucked it all up.
