 Am I the only one who didn’t know that the Stanford prison experiment was a complete scam?  Looking back, it was referenced constantly in my social psych lectured in undergrad. Now I understand that it’s only so well-known because Zambardo was manipulating the scientific community and media to make money & gain power. Shocking! 

Important reminder to be critical of “science” until it can be proven as _science_

And highly recommend you watch the doc on Hulu if this is new info to you too.
