5 Psychological Experiments That Explain the Modern World<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

The world is a confusing place. People do things that don\u2019t make any sense, think things that aren\u2019t supported by facts, endure things they do not need to endure, and viciously attack those who try to bring these things to their attention.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve ever wondered why, you\u2019ve come to the right place.<\/p>\n

Any casual reader of the alternate media landscape will eventually come up with a reference to Stanley Milgram, or Philip Zimbardo, the \u201cAsch Experiment\u201d or maybe all three.<\/p>\n

\u201cCognitive Dissonance\u201d, \u201cDiffusion of Responsibility\u201d, and \u201clearned helplessness\u201d are phrases that regularly do the rounds, but where do they come from and what they mean?<\/p>\n
