    Reality TV shows that warrant prison time:

    -Beast games

    -New Stanford Prison Experiment

    -Kid Nation

    -More that I can’t think of at this exact moment

    The Stanford Prison Experiment: “What if I hired a bunch of bullies to bully people around? That would prove anyone is capable of evil!”

    The New Stanford Prison Experiment: “What if we hired a bunch of bullies to bully people around? We could make a TV show out of it!”

      In the original, people were apparently very polite with each other at first, but the people running it started encouraging the “guards” to abuse the “inmates”, which spiraled the whole thing out of control. In a way it could be seen as a predictor of what a lot of reality TV would end up becoming.

        Reality TV would just get unstable people who are likely to do that anyway. Then if that fails, prompt them with random bullshit tasks designed to instigate something.

        That is what is so insidious about this. The original “experiment” (if you can call it that since it followed no part of the scientific method) was manipulated from the start, had no control group, and had so many glaring problems it is literally the textbook example of every single type of flawed methodology and unethical experimentation.

        They literally use the Stanford prison experiment as an example of the worst way to do science.

        Show the viewers how EVIL the test subjects were and how the CIA was a beacon of morality fighting the evilest of evil evils. Why were the evils evil? Because we said so.

        Drug people without their consent and keep them tripping for 3 months or however long it takes to record a season. Prensent them various traumatizing challenges. See what drugs make them the most suggestible.

        Whoever gets the most points one week gets to decide what everyone else’s hypnotic suggestion sedative tapes will be until next week. However, once per season any number of subjects can vote to pool their points together and if the total is greater than the leader’s score, that person’s identity will be erased with 40 hits of weapons grade acid and they will be sent to Hanoi with fake missionary papers and a beeping vest

    Is the Stanford Prison Experiment the same as Lord of the Flies? In that Lord of the Flies wasn’t a prediction of what children would do in nature, but what children of British aristocrats & bourgeoisie would do in nature.

    What im asking is, was the Stanford Prison Experiment just proof of what the children of American aristocrats & bourgeoisie would do without supervision and/or when given authority?

      No it was worse, it started off running completely counter to their expectations so they told the guards to start being more cruel. They poisoned their own experiment to prove some assumptions about human nature.
