I don't want to listen to a radio show and the transcript is really long. Can you summarize what is wrong about it?

'youre not following the arrows on the floor!'

The last 3 years was exactly this.

Only a third? I would have thought more. I am personally willing to genocide to save a loved one.

Globohomo is a religion.

This is about covid.

I think it is about central authority broadly. It could certainly be used against religion, and I've heard these experiments cited when talking about the stereotypical conservative-Christian father figure. Ya know, the patriarch that runs a rigorous household and lords over his family.

I wouldn't say that it's a weapon against religion specifically. In general, people will to great lengths to avoid being independent agents when they don't know what the consequences could be. We think of a hero as someone who does what they believe is right even in the face of the unknown. That's why heroes are rare.

The people who were pushing the button at the instruction of the experimenters (nobody was actually shocked; they just played screaming sounds from the other room) may very well have thought what they were doing was wrong, but the relevant consideration was this: standing up and saying no to an authority had unforeseen consequences. Now, these consequences don't require that a person gets their ass beaten for refusing. The consequence could be lost opportunity. You see this happen in ordinary life constantly. The reason a bully tends to be socially successful is because even though his allies think what he/she is doing is wrong, they recognize that, in general, their opportunities are greater being allied with the strongest.
