Rhythm 0, The Milgram Experiment and The Stanford Prison Experiment (and others) show how people will abuse their power and authority if given the chance without consequences, and that's so so scary imo.
#dragon's stupid thoughts#take a wild guess what I've been watching again#the stanford prison experiment is the scariest one imo#you separate a group of students. one side play as guards the others as prisoners#as a guard you're allowed to make any action it takes to get the prisoners to behave#this experiment was meant to go for two weeks but had to be cancelled after ''only'' six days cuz it's become too extreme#prisoners were going insane. got panic attacks. starting some sorta rebellion#the guards started to be more brutal and abusive. making the prisoners sleep on concrete or harming them with bats#even tho one source said they were encouraged by the scientists to go such extremes#rhythm 0 is also very scary. it was meant as some sorta art project. visitors of the art gallery had an assortment of different things like#roses. wool. food. pens but also knives and guns#one woman was then standing there for like 6 hours and had the visitors do anything they liked without any reaction or consequences#at first people were giving her roses or fed her but pretty soon people started to write on her. scratch and stab her with the knife#later they even tore her clothes off and planned on doing worse things#when the experiment was about to end and she showed reactions. the people who previously did some sorta bad things to her#all of a sudden felt bad. panicked and fled#some others went to her. wiped her tears away and hugged her#if this isn't messed up. i don't know what is
