Thank you for providing this link. Funnily enough, my thoughts immediately went to "is Milgram any better?". Seems like he might be, somewhat. The question for me then becomes: can people be trusted with authority, on a general level? Are there studies to prove / disprove the adage that power corrupts / that people with personality disorders such as psychopathy or narcissism seek out (or thrive in, or are promoted to) positions of power? Thank you again, I shall revise my opinion from now on and seek out more studies on the matter. permalink fedilink source parent
