You must continue. The experiment requires that you continue. And the prods are designed to get a subject to first administer a 15-volt shock and then a 30-volt shock. And in 15-volt increments to bring that subject up to the point where they would be asked to administer a 450-volt shock which on Milgram's shock machine was listed as XXX severe shock.

When you look at this paradigm, you go, nobody's going to do that.

65% of subjects go all the way up the shock scale to 450 volts. That's Milgram. Now I look at the interrogation manual. You bring them in. isolated, no friends or family members or lawyers present. There is, instead of an experimenter as an authority figure, a police detective who has real authority.

And that police detective aims to accuse you of something and get you to make an admission of guilt. And through a process of gradual escalation and a series of prods that are listed, the detective's goal is to get you to make a small confession or an admission of, I was there. And then a slightly greater admission, I saw what happened.

And then a slightly greater admission, I was minimally involved. And eventually, 15 volts at a time, the goal is to get that person to make a full admission of guilt coupled by a full narrative confession that explains the chronology and the story.

The authority figure in Milgram's obedience experiment is a psychology experimenter wearing a white lab coat who has no real authority and no real power over those subjects. If an authority figure like a psych experimenter can produce that level of obedience, Can you imagine what a detective who has power over your fate and future might be able to produce? And that's what unnerved me.

I kept thinking, geez, if they bring innocent people into this situation, they're going to get some Milgram-like results.
