@djsumdog @grey the problem is there’s no way to read people’s minds so there’s no way to know for sure if people knew it was fake or not. so you have to rely on some basic intuition. And basic intuition says that you would have to be profoundly unintelligent, like sub sub Saharan average IQ, to honestly believe that an experiment is being allowed that lets you torture people much less practically to death. So even if he wasn’t encouraging a certain outcome (he was) most people have to know it’s a trick question and so all you’re really judging is how many people are knowingly picking the naughty option on purpose and then playing it up for laughs. Seeing a breakdown of how many players pick the evil options in video games is probably about as illustrative to the human psyche.
