This was the dark conclusion of the Milgram experiment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment
- jhbadger 3y agoTrue, but even that experiment has some of the same problems as the prison experiment. We all think we know what the Milgram experiment says -- that people generally follow orders even if the orders are unethical. Except the problem is that when Milgram (and others) repeated the experiment, sometimes they rebelled - in some cases more often than they obeyed. This rarely gets mentioned because it goes against the "meaning" of the experiment.
