Rules and Violence

Wade 2022-10-13 02:28:58

In fact, there are only two rules in this experiment: anyone who withdraws from the whole group will fail, and all use violence within the monitoring range will fail.
With these two rules, all other rules can be ignored. Vulnerable prisoners use these rules to fight back.

1. Any prisoner can withdraw from the experiment as a condition, in order to incite other prisoners or threaten the prison guards, or even control the behavior of the prison guards.
2. Surveillance is an anti-violence paradise, and there are no rules outside of surveillance. Therefore, no one who does not want to be harmed should agree to go outside the monitoring range, including conscientious prison guards.
3. Prisoners can threaten prison guards with violent revenge after the experiment is over. After all, the authority of the prison guards only exists in this two-week experiment. Other than that, they are just weak ordinary people.

The above is the first half Some of the feelings I wrote when I saw it later, and when I found out that even the rules were lies, then the only rule was violence and violence.

The Experiment quotes

  • Nix: Expert in the penitentiary system, are you boy?

    Travis: I just watch a lot of Discovery Channel.

  • Archaleta: Justice is what keeps us safe as a society. Ordered law.

    Travis: Justice is what starts wars. And eye for and eye for an eye. It takes a turning of the cheek for this species to evolve.

    Archaleta: Ah, so you're the one who knows what it's going to take for this society to evolve.

    Travis: I'm just regurgitating what people have been saying for a long time.
