Shocked? (Foto, Julja)

Dear Julja,
° Have you ever heard of
Milgram?
° Well, like Courtney Love and the $10,000 masseur, I never had.
° Till Enron, the Smartest Guys in the Room.

° A famous (to those who’ve heard of it) scientific study of the ‘60’s tested how large a volt of electricity one subject would consent to deliver to a second subject behind a partition.
° Turned out that 50% of folks would, when reassured by the Master of the experiment that he would take full responsibility for the outcome, electrocute the assistant.
° 50%.
° Fortunately the Master was merciful, the second subject a shrieking stooge, and the highvoltage wires severed.

° Well I know what you’re thinking.
° We 50% that wouldn’t kill on command, we 50% that can’t believe we’re not responsible for our own actions, we 50% are screwed.

° From Time imMemorial, Giac.
