Darrell Bock So you've heard of the Milgram experiment?

This is 1962 at Yale University and they do a study.

They put an ad in the paper and say, we're doing a study on learning and psychology and if you come in and volunteer for this study, we're going to give you like a lunch voucher or something like that.

So let's say you're doing the study and you take it and you go up in this hallway.

You meet this guy, the guy in the lab coat, and there's another volunteer there and you draw straws.

The other guy draws the learner straw and you draw a straw that says teacher on it.

And they say, all right, you're going to sit down here and I'll summarize it.

But the guy's in the room next to you with the door shut and you're going to sit down at this machine and you're going to read this quiz and for every question he gets wrong, you're going to shock his ass.

You're going to deliver an electric shock.

So you walk in there with him to begin the experiment.

You watch him getting strapped down into this machine and they even let you test the shocker on yourself.

And every time they get a question wrong, you shock them.

But not only that, you're going to grab that little knob and move the voltage up.

So if you move the knob all the way to the far right, it says XXX Danger Severe Shock.

The guy says he's got a heart condition and you can hear him screaming.

When you hit this little shock button to the wall, you can hear him go, ah, ah.

And every time you're moving it up and sooner or later he says, I don't want to do this anymore.

And all these people will kind of like turn back to the guy in the lab coat like, you know, what do I do?

And the guy in the lab coat almost every time would say something as simple as it's important that you continue or the experiment requires that you continue.

So they keep going and keep going and keep going.

And at around 350 volts, every sound in the room across the wall stops.

And then he stops answering questions altogether.

There's no response to these questions because he's pushing this little button that indicates like A, B, C, D. And you turn around to the guy in the lab coat again.

The guy in the lab coat says any non-answer must be treated as an incorrect answer.

And they kept going, shocking what they assumed, which was an actor.

But they assumed that this is a real person and they're suffering and maybe unconscious at this point.

So before this experiment started, all these psychologists got together and they said, you know, how many people are going to go through with this?

And they said 0.07% I think was the answer.

They said anybody that would go through with this is a psychopath and wants to hurt other human beings.

So the experiment concluded 67% of people went all the way, all the way.

And 250 volts is enough to kill you based on amps.

But 100% of people went up to 250 volts, 100%.

People have replicated it in different environments and different changes.

Some of the experiments, they physically made the participant hold the person's hand down on a metal plate that was shocking them.

And they went back and they said, this is a study of obedience to authority because this was during the Nuremberg trials going on and all of the former Nazis saying, I was just following orders.

Will people just do what they're told to do?

And they thought that this was all about authority.

All over the internet, you can see stuff like sales training, like sales training mastery.

If I can, in 40 minutes, I can talk a total stranger into committing murder, wouldn't you think that that's harder than selling them a car?

And those people in the Milgram experiment, there was no secret hypnotic technique.

They didn't inject them with some LSD or something before the thing happened.

They didn't have some secret handshake or they'd touch them a certain way or hypnotize them.

It was just how responsive our mammalian part of our brain is to authority.

But they missed one element of that, which we can talk about later.

But that's how incredible authority really is when it comes to influence and persuasion in human behavior.

Now that leads me to a little bit what we were talking to before we started recording this podcast, talking about certain folks.

See things going on in the world and automatically assume that this thing is some sort of psyop or some sort of psychological.

For example, the guy Crooks, I think his name was, that tried to shoot Trump and got killed immediately afterwards and then gets his identity scrubbed from the internet.

Or you even have the guy who just murdered the healthcare CEO two weeks ago or a week ago, whatever it was.

So many people love to jump online to immediately like this guy was a Manchurian candidate or this guy was somehow co-opted by somebody in intelligence or the FBI or whatever and manipulated to do this.

It makes a lot of sense and it's easy to draw connections to that kind of thing.

But how much of that do you think is real that goes on today in this day and age?

But I want you to, here's the mistake a lot of those people make, and I hope I don't piss them off by saying this, but it's not about the technique.

A lot of people think, oh, you need all this training, I'm going to inject this person,

I'm going to do secret messages into their brain using some machine or something like that.

If I'm an authority in a person's life and I say, hey man, you know what you need to do?

Because it's not about the right skills, it's about the ability to select the right target or to select the right candidate to perform the action.

This goes all the way back to Bobby Kennedy, RFK's dad, who was killed by a guy named Sirhan

I believe that that was on purpose and I think that that was very heavily influenced.

I went to the prison to sit down with Sirhan a few years ago.

I booked a flight, got a hotel, had all these forms filled out, walked in the front door, handed over my driver's license to sign in and all that stuff, and they said, he's sick.
