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. :)

"My
accomplishments as Secretary of State? Well, I'm glad you asked! My
proudest accomplishment in which I take the most pride, mostly because
of the opposition it faced early on, you know… the remnants of prior
situations and mindsets that were too narrowly focused in a manner
whereby they may have overlooked the bigger picture and we didn't do
that and I'm proud of that. Very proud. I would say that's a major
accomplishment." - Hillary Clinton 11 March 2014
