Keep doing right.

The development of psychology and the development of philosophy makes people understand who you are, but more than who you are. But who you can turn into.

I don't say this as a compliment. The whole Stanford Prison Experiment is full of nausea. Jailers are empowered, prisoners are deprived of rights and individuality. I didn't remember a name in the whole experiment. I only remember that two roles were placed on two groups. The "capital" side tried to use the rights it was given to harm the "uncapitalized" side as much as possible.

Each one is losing the identity.

Even if there are rumors that this experiment is not because the human heart is spontaneous and irresistible, but the conscious guidance of the experimenter. But I have not questioned the experimental results of this study.

Look at the atrocities of the Japanese army and the Nazis, how terrible they turned into and how intentive about what they doing. This is the "capital" that the war gave to one of the parties to oppress. If kindness is the same, then brutality and malice are truly creative.

Society no longer gives roles to everyone all the time, and it takes courage to accept that people's self is not good-looking.

Personally, I think Maslow's theory of needs is a set of tools to help people live a long life. It's not that you can pursue the so-called apex value, you are just looking for the self. If the self changes with social wealth and personal ability, the self is no longer worth mentioning from the side.

Some people are still suffering from physical needs to eat and drink, but they still maintain an upright heart. If Strickland doesn't paint, it's like falling into the water and can't breathe. Painting is everything, painting is life. He can't satisfy his own life and also abandons his own life. Where you are in the tower never proves who you are.

Again, admitting that you are not good-looking is a matter of courage. Just keep doing right. Just insist truth.

The Stanford Prison Experiment quotes

  • Jesse Fletcher: You brought me here to legitimize this experiment and there's nothing legitimate about this place, Phil.

    Dr. Philip Zimbardo: You're right. You're right. I didn't explain it well. Prisons, they represent a loss of freedom, literally and symbolically.

    Jesse Fletcher: Yeah, but that does not explain why they're wearing dresses. They're wearing dresses, Phil.

    Dr. Philip Zimbardo: Yes, I understand. Uh, we're trying to strip away their individuality. Make them uniform. Feminize them.

    Jesse Fletcher: Feminize them?

    Dr. Philip Zimbardo: Yes. Feminize them. Take away all the things that make them them. You see, we're trying to understand how an institution affects an individual's behavior. We're trying to do something... We're trying to do something good.

  • Karl Vandy: It's easy for you to say, 'Oh, I wouldn't have acted that way', but you don't know. That's - that's the truth. You don't know. And now I know what I'm capable of, and it hurts.
