"Joining" is also a kind of harm

"Stanford Prison Experiment" successfully squeezed out "White Bear" to become the top 1 in my "depressed and want to die" list. The original intention of the experiment was to study the influence of the environment on social behavior. But as the experiment progressed, everyone came to believe in the environment and in their roles. The "prisoners" abused the "prisoners" wantonly because of their absolute power; the "prisoners" were inspired by servility, and they forgot the initial resistance and became weak and compromised. Rules are set, and if you resist you will be punished. Over time, people are tamed by the rules, and no one has to think about whether the rules are reasonable or not.

Come to think of it, being gregarious is actually a kind of harm.
