No. What is it?

worksmart November 23 2009, 01:55:25 UTC

An exercise in pushing buttons.

girlwithabow November 23 2009, 01:58:19 UTC

And what did it prove? That people push buttons for a prize?

worksmart November 23 2009, 02:05:30 UTC

Nope. They got paid for showing up. It proved that people will push buttons.

I should hope most of the basic human world have. But I am unaware of some aspects of basic human knowledge.

worksmart November 23 2009, 01:56:20 UTC

You might want to take a second look at your definitions of 'most' and 'basic'.

In my division, such a thing is common knowledge. I have met several humans who also know of it...

I suppose the general human population is... less informed, then?

A significant percentage of the general human population is still walking five miles a day to get clean drinking water. Among the educated few, I'd still say the results of a 1960s psychology experiment remains less than common knowledge. I could be wrong.

I've heard of it.

[ooc: Sob. Milgram Experiment. Laszlo's just dicking around.]

worksmart November 23 2009, 02:01:26 UTC

Fan of his work?

laszlo_jamf November 23 2009, 02:02:51 UTC

In a certain regard.

worksmart November 23 2009, 02:12:10 UTC

Ethically, Milgram was as unsound as his subjects. Worth noting.

Well. At least it's not a guide on tampons.

...Was that the experiment inspired by Eichmann?

If you couldn't understand the first one, there's no helping you.

2/2 worksmart November 23 2009, 02:03:37 UTC

That's the one.

That's a good thing to send around, and probably long overdue, thank you.

Common knowledge isn't exactly common around here.

worksmart November 23 2009, 02:37:48 UTC

What was that first part, again?

backseatangel November 23 2009, 02:53:35 UTC

Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
