Playtime Comments : [TED] The psychology of evil | Philip Zimbardo

Do******:

When I saw the picture at 1:23 I immediately saw the world of demons, and even after he mentioned there were angels, I had trouble noticing them... I hope this isn't a sign of any underlying psychological issues.

Ca*********:

6:19 FUCK YEAH, Face paint!!!!

Av******:

Mm, at 7:20, they go into this. It isn't who is responsible, but what is responsible. The soldiers were probably just regular people who became caught up in their role as prison guards. It was a rather perfect example of the power of the situation in action, I think.

Bah. I guess what I'm saying is, blaming a few people for this isn't the right way to look at this case, in my opinion.

Ra*******:

09:34 Nails it

An*********:

pause at 16:53... really think about that!

sd*********:

Listen to 12:09.............

Sn***:

this is super important. I would love to talk negatively after this and talk about all the "righteous people" and "normal people" to blame. But I will go only this far. If any of you want things different, you have to, like Zimbardo said, not be afraid to act out.
That takes time to learn. Our human instinct is to not stick out, follow what everyone is doing. Evil spreads that way. It's ok if it doesn't work out at first... learn, and break the cycle. I hope everyone can do that.

ho*******:

@rgz1985 I was rather disturbed by his experiment. It was pretty damn sick.

Al**********:

man he brings up great points

ma*******:

Zimbardo is leaving out the fact that some 'guards' were sadistic and others weren't.

Sa********:

That guy's breathing is killing me. I'm going to need him to take care of himself :( Brilliant work though.

Da********:

I don't mind that he used metaphors from the bible. The mythology of many religions are based on human psychology, I believe his goal was to make his concept more understandable for broad audiences.

However, this was a fascinating presentation. The basic message is something I've long understood, but this gave more depth and insight to the mechanics. It's worthwhile reflecting on his message.

I wonder though, am I alone in seeing parallels on behaviour on the internet?

Good video.

ad*********:

@champwagner LOL they were watched over and instructed, and the instructors were instructed by supervisors, etc etc all the way to the heads of the military and intelligence services. They manufactured bad people to do their bidding. Thats what military training is all about, do as you are told by your superior or else. Its terrible that military training, is creeping into police training and military weapons are moving to police hands.

Jo***********:

If you watched more TEDtalks you would know they are limited on time (usually 18 min I think). He's talking fast because he doesn't have enough time.
You are also wrong about heroism. He is defining the heroism AS right action. You (and generally speaking the media) are the one who is adding the celebrity status aspect of to the definition. He's talking about "everyday heroes" the one who never get recognized. You should also look into the Stanford experiments more before go passing judgement.

Gr*****************:

Gangstalkers = COINTELPRO perps = US prison abusers = real subjects of Milgram (obedience) experiment
世界一　病んだ変態　ナチスアメリカ

Un******************:

The statistical rise in “evil” acts when anonymity is introduced is very interesting to me. During the protests of the G20 in Pittsburgh, most of the police were not wearing name tags or badges. Many of them were wearing helmets which covered their faces. There are many YouTube videos of those police beating and abusing innocent protesters.

St********:

"luckily i married her the next year."
haha great :P

tu**************:

he married her the next year hahahahahahahahahahahaha

An*************:

wow! he's so goos... makes you wonder about human nature and what we would do if we were placed in a situation of power

Di*********:

Great video! Applaud.

Te***********:

i just finished watching this a second time. i'm crying, i feel outraged, ashamed, enlightened and inspired.

words, especially when spoken by a person with real experience with some of the more extreme situations one may come across, carry immense weight with me.

this was just the recharge i needed to continue down the path i've chosen, and to prepare me for the difficult task of doing the right thing in the face of blinding peer numbness at every turn.

Se**********:

Escher Was Dutch, not Swiss.

Th************:

TED... I have to sleep...

No******:

wow, take a breath dude! (awesome talk tho!)

ja*****:

wasnt escher dutch?

ev****************:

lolololol
"the good news is that I married her the next year"

An*****:

I got to see him do this talk at my high school! it was so awesome!!!!

br***********:

@boing3887 I agree. I turned off the sound for that part. It brings into question credibility and bias.

Al********:

The part about self de-individuation reminds me of the Man with No Eyes from Cool Hand Luke. Having a recognizable face gives people something to grab onto mentally, and pulls them up to your level, hide the face and you become something other than human, something without human emotion and the limits that it imposes, capable of anything. I think this is why masks are inherently creepy.

th******:

i saw the demons before i saw the angels O_O

na*************:

@florydory A man who scores 10, 20 and 30 on a test would be appreciative of a 60. A man who scores 70, 80, and 90 on a test would view 60 as terrible.
You only can view things based on past experiences, and without a "lower" experience, you would have no reason to view something as "beautiful" or a "higher" experience, because you've had nothing lesser to compare it to.
If every single hill on this planet was an "amazing scenic view", you would not think it so amazing.

kn******:

and i married her the next year hahaha!

r0*****:

He doesn't look 75

Su******:

Amazing... he married the woman who made him realise the immorrality of his own project and his responsibility to stop it.

ja*********:

look up, Stanford Prison experiment

ad*********:

I saw a flash of the mic cord behind his neck and thought he was wearing his shirt while it was still on a wire hanger.

To************:

@Texemosis 57 EVIL people gave a thumbs down

Ki*******:

HEH


Everyone needs to see this. Very well presented. Its funny because I just had a hour debate with my sis about this very topic. To say the least she falls into the "passive" state.

ge************:

I think there is a lot of misunderstanding of Phil Zimbardo's thesis .He is not denying 'evil' impulses in anyone - or heroic either - he is explaining that they are not exclusive....It is very comforting for us to think we are 'good' people and these others are 'bad ' people - the fact is there are just people - and what transforms you is the siutation. This can begin early in life, upbringing is situational.., there may be genetic factors - but ultimately evil needs a fertile soil to grow..

Ch****************:

Power is the key word here. When I researched this atrocity, I found out that England was being abused by her boyfriend. Putting people into a situation like this is going to end badly, because of a thirst for power.
