I am once again reading about the Milgram experiment - it reminds me about what happened during the corona madness.
Milgram wanted to understand how far people would go in obeying an instruction if it involved harming another person.
Many people are "just following orders" without questioning them at all. I think we should always resist harmful orders, and I also think we should always question everything!
This experiment was inspired by the atrocities committed during World War II, where many individuals also claimed they were "just following orders".
It is creepy to think about the fact that it is ingrained in some humans to murder another human if a person in a lab coat tells them to.
I found this video about the topic.
