Ep. 39: The Tortured Prison Department: Stanford's Darkest Study
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In 1971, a Stanford psychologist turned a basement into a fake prison, handed some college kids sunglasses and batons, and told them to "guard" their classmates. It went about as well as you'd expect. Within days, "guards" were sliding into full villain-arc energy, "prisoners" were having breakdowns, and the whole thing got shut down before the two weeks were even up.
In this episode we'll cover how a psych experiment about power and authority turned into one of the wildest cautionary tales in science history; and why decades later, people are still arguing about whether it proved anything at all, or whether it was just a bunch of undergrads doing what they thought the professor wanted. Costumes, chaos, and questionable ethics ahead.
