The Asch Experiment

A group of actors are put in a room and told to give an obviously wrong answer.

A volunteer is invited to the room, but he doesn’t know the rest of the group are paid actors.

The volunteer is told to identify a line on the left that matches the same length to the line on the right.

The paid actors give the same wrong answer continuously which makes the volunteer to doubt his own eyes and intelligence. After the 1st attempt, most volunteers give the wrong answer just like the paid actors despite knowing the correct answer.

Only 1 percent of the human population pass the Asch Experiment.

This is what happens in the real world. A good example is the quail eggs phenomenal that happened almost a decade ago.

Or the people who are shouting “bottoms up” because the paid actors in their village are saying “bottoms up”.

In fact, most men who get married early do it because most of their friends were getting married early.

Or when you watch a boring movie, and everyone on the internet is saying that was the best movie ever, most people will conform to the group even if they hated that movie.

And what’s interesting about the Asch expirement is that 99 percent of people won’t admit they picked the wrong answer because everyone in the room picked the wrong answer.

Sheep mentality

In human history, the security of belonging in a group was more important for survival than being right. I believe that’s why we developed such behavior.

5 monkey ladder experiment also demonstrates the cost of deviating from group think.

When it comes to movies if there is no action within 10 minutes I delete. Unless it’s an actor I know can’t act in bromance or drama, in which case I will wait until the 20 minutes mark and if the plot isn’t good I bolt to action awaiting Zoe

I Saw another video that showed a guy looking at an imaginary thing in the sky and people just passed him by. But when the participants were increased to four people, a crowd suddenly gathered around them also gazing to the sky. I think it was called the power of four

kitu kama ni mbaya mimi humulika , fuckkk the general consensus

Magicians, preachers, con artists, good sales people and politicians have all mastered this art.
