I Love your ideology here

Gabriel J. 2012-09-29

I am very concious of the idea of incorporation. I used to have trouble as a child… I was split into many different people/monsters some kind, some wild and dangerous… I had many times when I nearly killed people in my sleep… But I used a technique of binding them together in an incorporative cooperative state. It took me many years to be at peace with who/what I am. But I’ve ound it. And I am happier than ever with my decision. The monstrous qualities can really come in handy, while my nobility remains at control. Peopl are quite fond of me now for that.

Excellent

This post arrived in my lap at an ideal time. It helped me open up to a huge part of my shadow that had recently re-emerged from a full decade of suppression. Relatedly, I think we treat OCD, particularly intrusive thought variety, improperly by using suppression techniques- whoever’s fucked up budget conscious idea it was to suppress the results of anxiety was… we’ll probably helped a lot of people not go mad, but it’s still messed up. Sending you love.

Stanley Milgram’s torture experiment

Unfortunately, the Stanley Milgram torture experiment has actually not replicated. I don’t think your main idea is necessarily wrong, you’d just need to find a different example to be accurate.

Did the Milgram experiment fail replication?

Are you sure? The Wiki article discusses many apparently successful replications, and doesn’t mention any failed ones. Do you have citations for failed replications?

Certainly, given the general psychology replication crisis, one should be skeptical even after multiple successful replications, but as far as I can tell, this is on unusually solid ground for social psychology. There may evidence not in the Wiki article, though; I haven’t done any further literature search.
