RE: The Psychology Of Control: The Stanford Social Media Thought Prison Experiment

in #conspiracy6 years ago (edited)

Dr. Zimbardo, the man behind the "Stanford Prison Experiment," is a pompous little prick and a laughably incompetent social scientist. I met the painted cockroach a few times a three years ago and learned firsthand something of his character at a cocktail party in Oakland, where I was confirmed in my estimation of his "experiment."

If he had any true respect for the dignity of man, he would not have performed his famous experiment on human beings. And if he was any bit intelligent, he would have already knew or could've discovered from philosophical investigation how the experiment would turn out.

Anyways there was no reason to perform the experiment; it had already been done. He was just ripping off the original scientists. For at the time the Soviets had been conducting the very same experiment on a societal level since 1917. It is not like the results were not known to the West. Solzhenitsyn had already came out with his revelatory "The Gulag Archipelago" detailing, in more detail than a tiny, poorly-designed experiment can possibly do, the horrific result.

Yes, although I don't know Zimbardo I believe what you're saying to be true .. equally that is a contributing factor as to why I didn't name him. He was also complicit in the abuse, I believe he relished the transient power it gave him .. indeed from memory I think he wanted to continue the experiment until it's bitter end and it was his girlfriend that stopped it? I shall have to check.

In this instance, I was simply using a recognisable example in order to create a narrative that displays how society is fermenting similar mindsets. But yes a cursory glance at human history viscerally reveals the power of control mechanisms .. equally whilst the prisoner is physically imprisoned, the guard is a prisoner of conformity and collectivisation over individuality and empathy, indeed from the perspective of the manipulator/social engineer they are both enslaved. Thanks
