@MT Nothing in life as awful as a tory, thats not opinion - thats fact. The Child In The Well Experiment
Mencius (fourth century BCE) was a Confucian philosopher. He proposed that all humans were inherently good. They all has “sprouts” of goodness, they just needed nurturing.
To demonstrate this he proposed the following. A young child is sat on a well, as you want by it falls screaming down the well. He says EVERYONE would run to help the child, call for help.
Recently this was tested. Subjects were taken to a room in a different city and there was a video screen of the space outside and it shows a well with a child on it. The subjects don't know this is a a pre recorded video, they think it is a live feed. As the “experiment” is being set up the child falls screaming down the well.
The theory is that 100% of people will react and call the assistant to go help the child.
This is not the case. 80% do exactly that, they go nuts and scream for help, run out the room to try and save the child, just what you would expect.
20% do NOTHING. They don't call for help, they don't get up and try to help and a significant proportion don't even register any facial emotions. They just passively watch a child die as if they were watching a commercial for shampoo.
Upon further investigation, the vast majority of these that don't react are right to far right wing in their political views.
