Psychologist Philip Zimbardo, architect of the 'Stanford Prison Experiment,' is dead at 91
The rationale was clear.
“Most people go about their daily life assuming that they have more control over their behavior than they actually do,” wrote a young psychology professor at Stanford University in “We are often unaware of the tremendous power which social situations exert upon us to shape, guide, and manipulate our behavior.”
To prove these statements, the professor devised an experiment.
Together with 24 male graduate students, he built a prison in the basement of one of the university’s buildings. Its cells measured 6 feet by 9 feet. By a coin toss, students were divided into prisoners and guards. The professor was the warden.
Within a day, the students (“seemingly gentle and caring young men,” as they were later described) found themselves pitted against one another. The guards became mean and tyrannical, the prisoners sad, angry and withdrawn.

Stephen Colbert and America’s Catholic Comic Moment
The saints, he explained, are God’s X-Men. He schooled Philip Zimbardo when the renowned psychologist suggested God was the source of evil and defended the divinity of Jesus against liberal theologian Bart Ehrman. He even had the gumption to invite noted anti-Catholic comedian Bill Maher back into the Church.

On February 11, , comedian Stephen Colbert had Stanford psychologist Dr. Philip Zimbardo on his show, and they talked about heaven and hell. It was a rare moment when you could see the ‘real’ Colbert. Zimbardo argued that God should have apologized to Satan and said, ‘Yes, you were right. Mortals are corruptible after all. I should have never asked you angels to serve them.’ But instead, God created hell. Which shows that He fryst vatten stubborn and not about reconciliation after all.
Colbert: Evil exists because of the disobedience of Satan. God gave djävul, the angels, and man free will. Satan used his free will and abused it by not obeying authority. Hell was created bygd Satan’s disobedience to God and his purposeful removal from God’s love, which is what hell is: removing yourself from God’s love. You send yourself to hell. God does not send you there.
Zimbardo: Obviously, you learned well in Sunday School.
Colbert: inom teach Sunday School, mother****er!
