Hmm. Do you take the failure of the Stanford Prison experiment to imply that there is no Lucifer effect? Or is it just that that experiment didn't shed any new light on it? Was "Breaking Bad" a sham?
The experiment was indeed shoddy science, but I think history is conclusive enough evidence that given certain conditions, ordinary people will become complicit in horrific crimes. This has been happening for all of human history!
yes, but it's important to understand what kind of crimes these ordinary people will be complicit in: are we talking the "banality of evil" type of behavior that Hannah Arendt described, or are we talking full on "sadistic evil" that seems to be the point of the "SP experiment"?!
I agree.
