Awesome, thanks for the link! I think if the study was done now, and included half men, half women, not all men from the 1960s, then there would be at least SOME who would say "no, enough" - but only if they were not paid for their time. The 40 men in this experiment were all paid for their time from a newspaper advertisement (equivalent of about $40 today). That means they were looking for money, and perhaps they saw it as a job, so maybe they were more willing to see the job through by shocking more people? Still, it's all a bit psychotic. I personally would love to see the newspaper ad recruiting them - as that might make me more aware of the types of people who'd sign up for this in the first place. And a quick search brings it up here: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-04-26/a-milgram-experiment-advertisement-from-a-newspaper/3974340?nw=0 So they only wanted New Haven men between 20-50 who were to do a "scientific study of memory and learning". Ha!! It was nothing like that! So these men were not psychos who signed up for this...yet they still pushed those buttons... But I liked this part written in the article: "Later experiments conducted by Milgram indicated that the presence of rebellious peers dramatically reduced obedience levels. When other people refused to go along with the experimenter's orders, 36 out of 40 participants refused to deliver the maximum shocks." So that tells me that if SOMEONE stands up and speaks out about stupid masks or dumb legislation or signing-in crap when others are around them, then our society may be in with a chance! MAY be...but I think it might depend upon what is deemed socially acceptable or not...shocking people is not the norm, but is wearing a mask or signing in somewhere deemed the 'norm' these days...??
