The Tales We Tell
Ep. 209: The Milgrim Experiment
How far would you go under the instruction of an authority figure? Would you hurt someone? Kill them? The answer is (unfortunately) pretty surprising. This week, Hannah tells Katy about the Milgrim experiment, and its rather horrifying implications. The girls get a little in the weeds discussing the Holocaust, WW2, and horrible people (aka: Nazis), but it's all relevant, we promise! This experiment was directly inspired by the horrors of the Holocaust, and even though no one got hurt in the Yale basement in 1961, what we learned about a person's ability to be driven to harm someone is disturbing.
So pour the drinks, prepare for chaos, and join us for this uncomfortable tale of American history.
