Social psychology and the longevity of humanity.
« on: September 04, 2008, 03:15:30 PM »
I'm posting a link to a video that I found fascinating. It shows various human experiments regarding nationalism, democracy, fascism, conformity and basic situational influences. Everybody who is involved in the formation and evolution of a government and the leadership thereof should be aware of these inate human susceptibilities. It provides a good insight on how an otherwise normal society or nation can become a great evil.

a government that is small but protects individual rights and a strong court system are the only way.. all of the other experiments you mentioned are evil in the extreme.
