Does anyone else remember that time a guild held a funeral for one of their members in game and it got raided by the other faction because they did it in a PvP zone?
Remember it, the psychologist behind the prison experiment, think his name was Zimbardo used it as an example for his thesis on human behaviour when unrestricted!
Except he engineered the experiment to give the exact results he wanted it to. It wasn't a true experiment to test his thesis. It was engineered show to validate his thesis. Bad science is bad science.
He intentionally selected power hungry bullies to be the guards and incentivized them to be aggressive and bad actors. He intentionally selected particularly passive students to be inmates. It wasn't random, it wasn't from a pool of random citizens, and it isn't the representative of society he wants to pretend it is. 12 Christian men act very differently than 12 insecure communists in training.
I agree that the methodology of his experiment was extremely flawed, but I just thought a WoW funeral raid being used as an example in a psychology lecture was funny.

I'm hoping for equal or better trolling for this.
