In conjunction to your article on “Police Into Mass Murderers” (of which the WWII German example I was aware of – but not to the horrifying depth you show), you could probably include the Stanford Prison Experiment in 1971. You may already be aware of the recruiting of students into two groups: “guards” and “prisoners.” Things devolved so quickly with prisoner brutality after only six days that the study was terminated. And these were red-blooded Americans, us good guys. As in the Pogo comic strip’s comment, made surprisingly in the same time frame of 1970-71: “We have met the enemy and he is us.”

Looking into the near future, I see things quickly devolving in so many ways. As noted in Luke 21:26, men’s hearts shall fail them for fear. I note in comments to others from time to time: “Hang on to your saddle, the rodeo is about to begin!” Soon, it will have begun.

Best,

No Russ, I was not aware of the Stanford Prison Experiment in 1971. And thank you for telling me about it. Now you have my curiosity peaked. I will look into it next week and get back to you. I really enjoy learning the psychology and sociology of people.

Thank you again,

AH
