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

Chapter 732: The wisdom of the mob! Xunzi: Human nature is evil!
Han Dynasty plane.

When Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, saw this, he expressed great doubt.

Are the results of this experiment accurate?
It's just a small experiment involving twenty-four people. Can it reveal the truth about human nature?

I have ruled the world for so many years and I know very well how complicated human hearts are. How can they be understood so easily?

Scholars of later generations may have stayed in the ivory tower for too long, which is why they are so naive.

Tang Dynasty plane.

Li Bai stroked his chin and looked at the sky.

This is an interesting experiment.

People were divided into two groups, one with great authority and the other subject to great restrictions.

In this case, it can also awaken the hidden desires in people's hearts.

At that time, the truest human nature will be revealed!

Song Dynasty plane.

Yue Fei looked at the sky, then at his men outside the tent, thinking secretly.

Since this is the way to test human nature.

It seems that the power in the hands of these trusted subordinates should not be too concentrated.

[On the first day of the experiment, a thrilling human experiment quietly unfolded. ]

[In the first step, the research team deprived the "prisoners" of their most basic identity.]

[Their names were replaced with cold digital codes: Prisoner No. 2093, Prisoner No. 2094...]

[The "prison guards" all wear the same uniform: khaki uniforms, batons, and sunglasses.]

[This outfit is not only a symbol, but also an external manifestation of power. ]

[On the first night, "Warden" Zimbardo gave the "prisoners" a seemingly warm task. ]

[He asked them to write letters to the people they wanted to see most, and promised that they could see them on the prison visiting day two days later.]

[When Zimbardo reviewed the letters, however, he discovered a disturbing detail.]

[One "prisoner" actually signed the letter with his prisoner number instead of his real name.]

[At first, the "prisoners" were still laughing and joking, treating this as a game.]

[They don't take the "prison guards" seriously and obey orders in public but disobey them in private.]

[This attitude angered the "prison guards."]

[In order to establish their authority, the "prison guards" began to abuse their power.]

[But just one day later, the first violent incident occurred.]

[This role change was so fast that it even exceeded Zimbardo's original expectations.]

Northern Song Dynasty plane.

Fan Zhongyan looked down at the sky with a frown on his brow almost the entire time.

These foreigners are really brutal!
But there is one thing that is very strange.

This group of so-called "prison guards" knew that this was just an experiment, but they still resorted to violence.

But before the experiment began, these people were all students with good conduct.

How come once you gain power, you become so unscrupulous?
This experiment does make some sense.

……

Eastern Han Dynasty plane.

Zhang Zhongjing's brows were almost twisted together when he looked at the performance of the children in the sky.

These children are obviously sick!
Especially the "prisoners" who were beaten, they all had mental disorders to varying degrees.

Fortunately, the experiment was terminated.

If we continue, someone will die!
[The next day, this human experiment had completely changed.]

[The "prison guards" gradually forgot that they were just playing a role.]

[They began to become intoxicated with the power in their hands and became more and more unscrupulous.]

[The "prisoner" who took the lead in the resistance was put in solitary confinement. ]

[They even carefully selected several prisoners who were relatively "mild" in their resistance.]

[These people were taken to separate compartments and enjoyed relatively "favorable treatment."]

[Half a day later, when these people were sent back to the ordinary cells. ]

【This is an old art of governance: divide and rule. 】

[And these ordinary college students have mastered this method without realizing it. ]

【On the third day, the situation got out of control.】

[On the fifth day, some of the "prisoners" had already developed serious psychological problems.] [On the sixth day, before the scheduled two-week deadline, Zimbardo announced: The experiment must be terminated immediately!]

Seeing this breathtaking ending, the ancient people were all shocked.

In just six days, could a group of students with excellent character and academic performance completely lose their minds?

If they hadn't seen this result with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it!

But after seeing this they still didn’t understand.

These people know that everything is fake, so why are they so crazy about it?
Can a person's nature be completely changed simply by changing his skin?
Is the power of environment really so strong that it can completely distort a person's mind in just a few days?
The so-called rules and bottom lines are so fragile in the face of power!
"How could such a gentleman be blinded by power?"

"No wonder the ancients always said: Be cautious when you are alone and be prudent when you are alone. It turns out that a person's nature really cannot withstand the test of the environment."

"In my opinion, it's better not to do this experiment! It's pitiful for the children who are being abused inside."

"You don't know the truth until it happens to you. Just wait and see."

The Three Kingdoms plane.

Zhuge Liang gently waved his feather fan and nodded slowly.

Sure enough, once people have power, they will use these rights to make things difficult for others as much as possible.

Especially children.

Never tasted power.

With these privileges, they will become more unscrupulous.

The impact of the environment on a person is really terrifying!

[After this shocking experiment, Zimbardo fell into a long period of contemplation.]

[It was not until many years later that he fully explained the meaning behind this experiment in his book "The Lucifer Effect: How Good People Become Demons".]

【Anyone, even the kindest person, can become corrupted under certain circumstances.】

[This degeneration often follows three stages.]

[The first is depersonalization, depriving the individual of his or her original identity.]

[Just like using numbers instead of names in the experiment, and using uniforms instead of personal dress. ]

【The second is to obey authority and give up independent thinking in the face of a powerful system. 】

【The last is moral alienation, using "duty" to excuse one's evil deeds. 】

The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

"No, no!"

After reading it, Xunzi sneered and shook his head.

Professor Zimbardo's so-called Lucifer effect is too superficial.

What does it mean when a good person turns into a devil?
It is clear that the evil nature of human beings is revealed under certain circumstances.

The so-called kindness is nothing but a disguise under the constraints of etiquette and law.

The various actions of this group of "prison guards" after gaining power just prove the truth that human nature is evil.

How have they become bad?

It's clear that he has shed his usual gentle exterior and revealed his true nature!
These later scholars always like to use the transformation of good people into bad people to explain the changes in human nature.

But they do not know that human beings are born with a love for profit and a dislike for harm, with emotions of greed, desire and evil, and with the desires of the ears and eyes.

If we let things take their own course, there will be fighting and chaos!

It is human nature to be greedy.

If there are no rules of etiquette, everyone will fight and the country will be in chaos.

In this experiment, once the "prison guards" were freed from their daily constraints, they immediately revealed their brutal nature. Doesn't this illustrate this point?

It’s a pity that these people in later generations cannot see through such a simple truth.

Western Han Dynasty plane.

Sima Qian put down his brush and sighed.

Such a result is really chilling.

But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.

People are fickle by nature.

What’s more, there is the blessing of supreme power.

Without constraints, they will become more unscrupulous.

If the "prisoners" and "prison guards" in the experiment were swapped, I'm afraid the same result would occur.

They are just the bad habits that exist deep in the human heart.
