TED Talks: Why Ordinary People Do Evil ....

Philip Zimbardo (one of the most know and respected social psychologist)knows how easy it is for nice people to turn bad. In this talk, he shares insights and graphic unseen photos from the Abu Ghraib trials. Then he talks about the flip side: how easy it is to be a hero, and how we can rise to the challenge.

I think it was a shitty presentation.

His talks about Good and Evil made my stomach turn. As a philosophical enterprise, it`s a pretty weak presentation.

I`ll stick with with my ethics classes, thank you very much. Experimental philosophy, moral psychology, Nietzsche, I don`t think this guy has any place in the grand scheme of things.
