so uh milgram fans are we ready to talk about this yet?

the fact that the real subject of the “experiment” of milgram is Es, not the prisoners? and how beyond the story, the true subjects are actually us, the viewers?

#now what I’m curious about is what es is being tested for #and why? is it just about obedience #like the original milgram experiment #or is there more to it?#is es’s true identity beyond their amnesia even important? or are they just an audience stand-in… are they even a real person?#or are they just a manifestation of ‘us’ aka the audience and also the true subjects of the experiment #and what does Jackalope learn from all this? he’s implied this isn’t the only time a milgram project has been run…#or is there another person - the ‘stanely milgram’ of this situation we could say #(since jackalope is the experimenter es is the teacher and the prisoners are the learners)#… or is deco*27 the ‘stanely milgram’ of this scenario #where do the lines blur between the fictional nature of the scenario and the real nature of the social experiment -#- that’s clearly being conducted here?#idk im sooooo fascinated by the link between the milgram experiments and the milgram project #(plz go read the whole Wikipedia article if u can it’s super interesting)#milgram #es #milgram project #es milgram #jackalope #milgram experiment #jackalope milgram
