Great article. That was really interesting. When I started reading I began to wonder if you were going to mention Milgrims experiment. Interestingly, Milgrims experiment has been replicated in recent times, but tweaked to get modern day ethics board approval. The results though were consistent with Milgrims results.

The theme or topic of the article also reminds me of the "Stanford prison experiment." You are probably aware of that experiment already but if not, it may be something you are interested in.

I was not aware of the raft experiment by Santiago Genoves. That sounds very interesting. I'll have to read about that further. I'm interested to learn more about that.

Overall, I definitely believe that all people are capable of extreme behavior under the right circumstances or with the proper "grooming." Often, as Milgrim pointed out, a series of small steps can lead to "shocking" results.....pun pun pun pun. Lol.

But in all seriousness, the Nazi Holocost was also a series of small steps as well that ultimately led to the over altocity in the end.

Great article as always! Well done
