WITHTEETH Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Zimbardo had a dreadful experiment that he follwed through for many days. Its amazing to see these guys let the situation control them in a controlled setting even! His webpage with slides Scarey stuff, reminds me of WW2 the soviets and nazis. If they would only listen to Obi Wan Kinobi "Whos the bigger fool, the one leading or the one following", it went something like that anyways. This guy was a peice of work!

metadigital Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 It made him a celebrity in the field, and changed the way research was conducted, specifically wrt informed consent and what defines an "ethical" experiment. Anyway, my point was that the human mind may very well have powers beyond what we can explain at the moment (in fact there is a good argument that it takes something more complex to explain a complex phenomemon, so we may never fully map the mind, although I would argue that the human societal synergy would allow us to do it).
