The Stanford Prison Experiment - Is Authority Corruptive ?

[avk123]

Good day fam.

 

The title question is clear ...  what do you think ?

[Schulzy]

Are you talking about the movie?

[Frogfucius]

Authority is corruptive, because it's a tool used by the egoic mind. Animals in alpha positions have authority over others in nature, but they don’t do it to feel better about themselves. It’s a survival instinct. Mistreating prisoners or whatever isn’t a survival instinct, or used to protect a society – it’s a tool used by the ego to feed itself and become more powerful.

[Ramu]

Absolute power corrupts absolutely.  

[Loreena]

Often greedy egotistical people climb their way up through the social pyramid. No wonder such things happen in powerful positions.

[Nahm]

The problem lies in making anything illegal. Unacceptance is procrastination of expansion.
