The short video shows the ancient times, and the emperors cried with envy!

Chapter 731 The most insane experiment! How many days does it take to change a person? Zhuge Liang was shocked!
On the sky screen, a new video slowly emerged.

【This is a chilling real experiment. 】

[In 1971, in the basement of Stanford University, an experiment that was enough to subvert human cognition quietly began.]

【24 ordinary college students were randomly divided into two groups: prison guards and prisoners. 】

[The experimenters gave the "prison guards" full power to manage the "prisoners."]

[However, no one expected that in just six days, this group of well-behaved college students would undergo such a terrible transformation.]

[The experiment was originally scheduled to last for two weeks, but was forced to stop on the sixth day.]

[Because the experiment has completely gone out of control, continuing it may cause an irreversible tragedy.]

[This is the famous Stanford Prison Experiment.]

[When power and environment provide the soil for it to grow, anyone can degenerate into the person they hate the most within six days.]

Seeing this shocking image, the ancient people couldn't help but gasp.

Just six days are enough to turn a decent person into a devil?
How can this be?

A chill ran down everyone's spine.

They couldn't imagine what kind of distorted environment would be needed for such a transformation to happen in such a short period of time!

"Isn't this Tianmu talking nonsense?"

"In just six days, can a saint be turned into a villain?"

"I'm afraid it's not that I've become a villain, but that I've awakened the devil sleeping in my heart!"

"Alas, once this evil begins, I'm afraid it will be difficult to end it!"

After seeing this sky screen video, Mencius was also aroused by his curiosity.

What kind of experiment can change a person's character in such a short time?

What's more, they are all students who have received a good education.

【Human nature, an eternal proposition. 】

[Where is the boundary between good and evil? This question has troubled countless philosophers and thinkers. ]

[This experiment not only overturned people's understanding of human nature, but was also called "the most insane psychological experiment" by many scholars.]

[It is like a magic mirror, revealing the deepest shadows of human nature.]

[More than 50 years have passed, and the controversy over this experiment has never stopped. ]

[Some say it reveals the essence of human nature, others say it breaks the moral bottom line.]

[And all this started in the summer of 1971. ]

[That year, Philip Zimbardo, a psychology professor at Stanford University in the United States, put forward a bold idea. ]

[He wanted to study the impact of the environment on human nature, so he planned this experiment that was destined to go down in history.]

[No one could have predicted that this seemingly simple study would eventually turn into a shocking test of human nature.]

Mozi sat upright, staring at the sky with his sharp eyes.

interesting.

Can a person's nature really be completely changed in six days?
This video actually piqued his interest a lot.

Because before this, he unanimously believed that human nature is like white cloth, and whatever you see will be stained.

Just as he said when he lobbied the princes of various countries for many years.

Human nature is like white silk. If dyed blue, it will turn blue. If dyed yellow, it will turn yellow.

The meaning expressed in this video seems to coincide with my own point of view.

……

When Qu Yuan in a certain dimension saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh.

Is it necessary to conduct experiments?

Of course the environment will affect a person!
How many corrupt officials were transformed from students who studied hard for many years?

What if you stick to your original intention?

In this colorful world, there are many temptations and desires.

Throughout history, how many people can persevere to the end?
But it's just nice words!

……

[The purpose of this experiment that shocked the world was surprisingly simple.] [Professor Zimbardo wanted to prove: Is human nature from the inside out, or from the outside in?]

[Some people say that human nature is good, some say that human nature is evil, and some say that human nature is neither good nor evil. ]

【Professor Zimbardo put forward a bold hypothesis:】

【People’s behavior is not determined by their nature, but is constrained by their environment and roles. 】

[He believes that when a person is placed in a specific environment, the environment will reshape his behavior pattern.]

[Zimbardo wanted to explore: When an ordinary person is given a specific role and power, how will his nature change? ]

How long will this change take?

Zhu Yuanzhang sat high on the dragon throne, looking deeply at his crown prince Zhu Biao.

The father and son sat opposite each other. Zhu Yuanzhang stroked the dragon table and said thoughtfully, "Biao'er, do you think this experiment conducted by people in later generations can really prove that human nature is completely determined by the environment?"

Zhu Biao smiled gently: "Father, the ancients said: A rush growing among hemp will stand straight without support; white sand in the dye will turn black with it.

This shows that the influence of environment on people has been established since ancient times.

It is true that those who keep company with vermilion become red, and those who keep company with ink become black."

"Biao'er is right. I remember when I was in the countryside, I saw many kind people who became bandits due to the circumstances."

"However," Zhu Biao stroked his sleeves and continued, "I heard what Tianmu said, and people in later generations also mentioned that people's character is innate."

"Maybe it's due to both nature and environment. Just like a seed, it depends on its own quality as well as the soil and climate."

"well said!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was quite satisfied with his son's answer.

Only someone with such thoughts and insights can be the only one to inherit my mantle!
Of course, it’s also thanks to my good genes!

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao with approval: "No wonder the ancient sages said that you have a deep understanding of the great order. Things in this world are often not black and white.

I think the same is true of the good and evil of human nature."

Hearing this, Zhu Biao lowered his head humbly and said, "I don't deserve your praise. I am just learning your way of governing and thinking more about everything."

Huang Tingjian does have some opinions of his own.

Of course, the environment has a greater impact on people!

And this influence is subtle.

When change happens, perhaps the person involved is not even aware of it.

This is the terrifying thing about how the environment changes a person.

It can make you depraved, or it can inspire your fighting spirit and awaken a person's infinite potential.

If people only act based on their nature, there would be fewer talented people and generals in this world.

[Since we want to simulate the prison environment, we must first have real participants. ]

[In August 1971, Stanford University published a special recruitment advertisement in a local newspaper in Palo Alto.]

[“We are looking for male volunteers to participate in a psychology study for two weeks, with a daily salary of US$15.”]

【This simple advertisement attracted the attention of a large number of students. 】

[You have to know that in 1971, $15 was not a small amount of money. ]

[According to the prices at the time, this amount of money was enough for a college student to live a fairly decent life.]

[Soon, more than 70 students signed up to participate in this mysterious experiment.]

[The research team conducted a rigorous screening of these volunteers.]

[They must pass detailed psychological tests to prove they are mentally sound and have no criminal record or mental illness.]

[Finally, 24 college students aged between 18 and 24 were selected.]

【They are all model students with good conduct and excellent academic performance. 】

[The research team then randomly divided the students into two groups by flipping a coin.]

[One group played the role of prison guards, and the other group played the role of prisoners.]

[Each group also reserved three alternates in case someone dropped out midway.]
