Episode 158 | Historical Events
In this History episode we focus on the Milgram Experiment — the 1961 Yale study in which 65 percent of ordinary people administered what they believed were potentially lethal electric shocks to a stranger simply because a man in a gray lab coat told them to continue, and what that finding tells us about how ordinary people produce catastrophic outcomes.
65 percent. Two out of three. All the way to 450 volts. Because a man in a gray coat said: the experiment requires that you continue.
