I’m sure most on this board have heard of this experiment following the atrocities of Nazi Germany, but I’ve never seen the footage.

It’s quite “shocking…”

(the experiment/video gets more interesting as it progresses)

Our instincts, wiring whatever ,you want to call it has dominant features that are similar to different animals. Not just the obvious ones like other primates, but also ants, bees, birds,dogs, and of course, sheep.

Not surprising how bizarre we can be compared to the fantasies we have about ourselves.

Paramount: The video is a hoax. It’s a piece of CIA disinformation to dupe the Soviets into believing that Americans were weak and easily led.

Ranks right up there with the faked moon landing videos produced by NASA and the CIA.

Didn’t you see “Capricorn One”? That movie explains everything.

these aren’t the droids you’re looking for,

you really need a new car.

you should get a nicer home than you buddy has.

You must live here or you’re just not cool enough and your kids will be deprived.

Desmond: For kids of a certain age, all those 70s flicks really resonate.

I loved “Westworld” and “Futureworld”. Campy as all hell, but to my little pre-teen brain, that was what the future was gonna look like.

Turns out, not so much.

Another experiment which relates to this as well, IMHO.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_prison_experiment

Very scary when you think about it. Many people will tell you that our government won’t engage in any kind of (armed) conflict with civilians because these people naively believe that our own law enforcement and military personnel wouldn’t turn against their own. All you have to do is give “the other” a name with a negative connotation (real or made up) and call them “the enemy.” Something to think about.
