What does it take to become a murderer?
Worse, what drives a nation to commit genocide?
Today, we take a casual stroll down the glistening cobblestones that pave the path to damnation. On our way, we're going to explore some of the psychological research into obedience - namely, the Milgram Shock Experiment and the Stanford Prison Experiment. Then, we're going to try our hand at explaining how entire nations of otherwise righteous people can be convinced to remain complicit in atrocities, in the hopes that we can prevent them in the future.
All in 45 minutes (give or take 78 seconds).
