Amanda Wilks – In 1961, Stanley Milgram, a Yale psychologist began a series of experiments to analyze obedience in relation to an authority figure. The experiment involved three people: the Experimenter, who played the role of the authority figure, the Teacher, who was a volunteer, and was instructed to obey the indications they were given by the authority figure, and lastly, the Learner, a person who played the part of another volunteer, but was in fact an actor placed in the experiment by the researchers.
The Experimenter instructed the Teacher to read out a series of word pairings to the Learner, who had to memorize them. If they answered incorrectly, the Teacher was to administer an electric shock to the Learner. The volunteers were given a sample shock, and they were told the intensity would gradually increase every time the Learner made a mistake, up to a maximum of 450 volts.
The Learners were not in fact being shocked. However, the Teachers had no way of knowing that, since they could not see the Learners. Instead, the actors showed increasing levels of discomfort, as the voltage “increased,” to the point where, in the end they were screaming in agony.
In the first set of experiments, over half of the participants administered this final voltage.
Anna von Reitz – From the cradle onward we are deliberately taught to think in ways that profit our predators. This is done by those who stand to profit from these purposefully engendered failures of logic.
Owen K Waters – In the 1960s, parents and teachers complained that the younger generation had less respect for authority than they did when they were that age. In the 1980s, parents and teachers complained that the younger generation had less respect for authority than they did when they were that age. In the 2000s, well, you get the picture. Every generation has progressed more in the same direction because The Shift is dissolving the old habit of submission to authority.
