The Expert class

Why do so many blindly follow them

Their is actually quite a bit of study behind this and it is truly interesting. Probably one of the more well know ones is Stanley Milgrams Obedience to Authority done in the 1960s. The other is The Asch experiments.

Stanley Milgram was a psychologist at Yale University. His idea was to study the idea of obedience to authority - “I was following orders” . This was a defense used by those accused of the Holocaust and war crimes during WW2. It was and still is just hard to believe such atrocities could be carried out by humans blindly following authorities.

At the time it was surmised that the German people were particularly obedient and subject to blindly following authorities and others - especially Americans were not.

Milgram did several studies using various techniques. Their was a authority figure the determinerencourager, a teacher - the person dishing out the punishment and the learner - the test subject or victim. Various scenarios were used. Some with the authority figure close by issuing orders and others with the authority figure further away. It was found that the close the authority figure to the teacher the more likely the teacher would follow orders. The findings were astonishing - especially when you consider WW2 as only 15 years in the review mirror. Up to 65% of the teachers followed orders.

Their have been numerous followup studies with the same results, some how ever have criticized Milgrams experiment stating the participants should have been given more information on the test as some were deeply disturb after the study.

In a separate experiment, volunteers followed similar protocols while electrodes on their heads recorded their neural activity through EEG (electroencephalography). When ordered to press a key, their EEG recordings were quieter — suggesting, says Haggard, that their brains were not processing the outcome of their action. Some participants later reported feeling reduced responsibility for their action.

Unexpectedly, giving the order to press the key was enough to cause the effects, even when the keystroke led to no physical or financial harm. “It seems like your sense of responsibility is reduced whenever someone orders you to do something — whatever it is they are telling you to do,” says Haggard.

So what we have now is if we can feel that we came blame others for our bad decisions we can justify virtually anything up to and including murder. That pretty much confirms what many of us have seen with student loans, stealing, harming others and murder.

This is a very good synopsis of Milgrams experiments that goes into the many reasons people do what authority figures tell them to.

Milgram (1974) maintained that the key to obedience had little to do with the authority figure’s manner or style. Rather, he argued that people follow an authority figure’s commands when that person’s authority is seen as legitimate. Moreover, our culture socializes individuals to obey certain authority figures, such as police officers, teachers, and parents. Milgram’s experimenter was granted the legitimacy of authority by virtue of his association with the experiment, the university, and perhaps even science. Subsequent discussions have raised questions about the nature of the experimenter’s authority. In particular, it seems likely that the perceived expertise of the experimenter contributed to the participants’ decision to follow the instructions (Morelli, 1983). The experimenter presumably had knowledge about the procedure and had gone through many previous sessions, and so participants deferred to his judgment. Milgram (1983) acknowledged this confounding of position and expertise in his studies but pointed out that this is often the case in real-life examples of obedience.

This Milgram experiments tell us a lot about what has gone on in the last 3 years. We were told to wear masks, follow arrows on a floor, take a experimental jab all by authority figures. Oddly the numbers seem to follow the pattern of 65% to 70% compliance.
Many followed the orders no matter how silly or damaging. Simple 3rd grade math said a mask that stops 1 micron particles could never stop 0.1 micron particles. We were told to wear a mask walking into a restaurant but once seated the mask could come off - like covid hug out in the 5 to 6 foot range and did not stoop to the 3 foot level. Many followed the arrows on the floor directing traffic, like covid would not attack you if you followed the arrows. Seems silly but many followed anyway and in some cases berated those that did not follow orders. We still have people wearing these useless masks today.

Worst of all is the jab. We were told it was experimental - Emergency Use Authorization means just that., its experimental. When covid first struck we were told the spike protein was causing the health issues, yet when the jab came out we were told it would turn our bodies into spike protein factories. Think about that - spike protein bad UNLESS you take our jab that makes you a spike factory.

Their have been many subsequent studies to Milgrams, I encourage you to do some looking/research. Its interesting to see just how authorities use these techniques on us to get us to do harmful things to ourselves and others, do nonsensical things, give up freedoms and protections because someone in authority says to.

Now I’ll move on to the experiments on conformity, while similar they are a different technique than Milgrams.

The Asch experiments are just as interesting if not more so than Milgrams as it has a direct correlation to what happened over the last 3 years.

Solomon Asch in the 1950s conducted a series of conformity experiments. These experiments studied what effects group behavior had on individual behavior.

The experiments used collaborators - those that were in on the experiment and usually one that was not. A series of simply different lengths of lines was put in front of the group. The group was told to pick a line that matched the test line. A series of questions which line matched, which was longer, shorter etcetera. Some experiments the collaborators chose the correct line, others they chose the wrong answer and the collaborators insisted to the lone person not a collaborator that the wrong answer was actually correct. Amazingly up to 75% of the time the individual would go along with the incorrect answer because the group said it was correct.

What these experiments found was that the bigger the group the more conformity, conformity increased when people with a higher social status were used as collaborators.

This is where we need to examine and learn from what took place in 2020 and up to today.

People with a higher social status - Fauci, pharma scientists, elected and unelected government employees ( they are NOT authorities as calling them that implies they are our superiors/owners and they are NOT) all pushed the jab telling us they were safe and effective even though as early as February and March 2020 many of us lessers were pulling the fire alarm levers saying don’t do it they are not.

We now see how effective and dangerous this obedience to authority and holding others in high esteem / higher social status is at getting people to believe a lie.

When details of covid first came out the news reports said the spike protein is dangerous and was the problem causer. Once the jabs were looking to be a possibilty the narrative changed and all of a sudden these jabs were going to save you by you becoming a spike protein factory. So how did the spike protein which is what caused harm all of a sudden good when you are jabbed with a concoction that makes your body a spike protein factory? It was through the use of people considered of a higher soical status - Dr’s, government employees, pharma scientists - all far smarter than most of us - at least that is our perception. Even official government websites with information were changed. The meanin gof vaccine changed mid stream - I used the CDC definition to show people this was not a vaccine. Vaccines make you immune these jabs have proven they do not do that. It was right there on the CDC website. So what did those we hold in higher esteem do ? The CDC changed the definition of vaccine on their webiste so the covid jabs would conform to the new diffinition.

A point to ponder, when and where else have we seen this happen? Their are plenty of instances, war is another one. The government and the media work hand in hand to pull us along hyping stories, out right lying like the Spanish American war, Vietnam, Iraq, etc…

While this link is put up by a “conservative” site it has many good points on the expert class who they are, what they think of you and how they think they are better to decide your life.

To me it is pretty amazing how Milgrams and Asch’s experiments were used on us and the number of us that followed the illegal edicts were about the same as the unjabbed, 60-70% just like the experiments. Hopefully this changes as many of us become more aware of how we are manipulated by government and their henchmen in media and start to become critical thinkers that are not sucked up into the vortex of lies we are told by the expert class.
