scream-of-consciousness;
"If you're trying to change minds and influence people it's probably not a good idea to say that virtually all elected Democrats are liars, but what the hell."
We watched the
film Experimenter
(Netflix). It's based on
the true story of famed social psychologist Stanley Milgram, who in
1961 conducted a series of radical behavior experiments at Yale
University that tested the willingness of ordinary humans to obey an
authority figure while administering electric shocks to strangers. In
the first half of the film, it is shown how the experiments are
conducted, with nearly every test subject succumbing to the pressure of
the circumstances and administering shocks to a stranger, despite the
stranger begging him to stop. Between the experiments, it is shown how
Milgram meets Alexandra (or Sasha), who will become his wife and mother
of two children.
The second half of the film shows how Milgram struggles with the public
outcry (by pasty face Liberals of the
day who, not willing to confront their own frailties, blame Milgram for
tricking themWiki
(My words in italics).
Aside: During
the film, a clip from Allen Funt's Candid
Camera television show is used to buttress Milgram's
findings. Some will remember this and think immediately of
Hillary voters.
ASIDE2: I
told MoSup that Experimenter
very much reminded me of a movie about a man who signs a contract with
a company that guarantee his success in giving up cigarettes. He is
told there will be consequences for backsliding, and —whoa!
There are. Wife never heard of it, so I found it for her. Warning,
you
will be compelled to watch it all, but not by me. :)
I was reading about how to read body language. The author states that you must look at people as animals and tune out what they are saying. Progressives hate this approach since it invalidates their theory that people can be evolved by a central authority.
That is actually quite scary.

I just was thinking about conformity and how it's affecting people's choices of candidate this election.

ReplyDeleteOoooh, that's good! A better copy can be had at http://9movies.tv/watch/cats-eye-1985-hd.online.html
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link, Bogdaddy! Great stuff and better quality. Cat's Eye streamed beautifully.
ReplyDeleteExperimenter was most excellent, thank you. Cat's Eye is all Stephen King, from short stories he wrote ages ago.
