Just a heads-up Cenk, referring to the Stanford Prison Experiment that you discussed in this show - and I mean it as no disrespect, since your heart is in the right place, and cruelty is a serious problem in the US prison system - the Stanford experiment has been largely discredited due to serious flaws in its experimental methodology. The guards were actually briefed, right at the start of the experiment, to be as cruel as possible, for one thing. There were no control groups either, no comparisons drawn - just a scenario being acted out by students.
While we have few other examples of serious experimentation into this subject, the Stanford Prison Experiment is famous despite no longer being actively cited by real world psychologists and students - in a similar vein to how Doctor Andrew Wakefield created a spurious study which became famous almost overnight, and continues to be influential, despite being repeatedly and thoroughly discredited.
