    Psychologist Stanley Milgram found that 80% of people do not have the psychological and moral resources to defy an authority's order, no matter how legitimate the order is. Only 20% have critical capacity.

      In 1776 when American became the first independent nation and free, except for black slaves and the greatest Genocide in human history , the American natives. Yet with the most amazing constitution written since Taoism based on nature. Untill then, the rest of the world were ruled by dictators and kings. Lifespan like empires by adverage changes every 80 year patterns. The Civil War change up independent and democracy to the US Corp by the assassination of Lincoln that turned the country under Marshail laws with wars to enforce their powers every year. American empire since world war 2, is now collapsing and another every 80 year cycle of the collective consciousness of people making the positive changes. Not by way of the We the Government, by way of :We the people:. Again and again as people become smarter from every great abuse of authorities.

      This is so aptly demonstrated by the Milgram experiment decades ago pertaining to blind obedience to authority.  Some people took the experiment so far as to electrocute the subject.  Most people are conformists by nature which explains why organized religions work.  It also explains why people are very comfortable w/rules.   People want to conform because there are immense rewards in conformity.

      Conformity starts in the family.  Parents strongly inculcate their children to be compliant which is followed by other authority figures such as teachers.  Students who comply w/the program are deified.   In homes & schools, children who are more independent minded are viewed as quite problematic, even unmanageable.   

      I believe that only 10% are independent thinkers.  Such people are oftentimes demonized until they are dead then they are deified.  Those people are visionairies i.e. ahead of their time.   I will further elaborate on this later.

        A know a few would think maybe less than 10% are independent thinkers. I guess much of the 80% won't be joining  us for this discussion.  Because their compliance theory and worker obedience, remain loyalty to their owners.

        Perhaps Stanley is not as famous as Obama for winning the Noble peace prize. Meanwhile killing more, and mostly poor people, women and children oversea than any president in our lifetime.

        Stanley Milgram remains one of the most controversial figures in the history of psychology. Milgram was a social psychologist who invested significant amounts of time and effort into the study of how people related to obedience to authority. The notorious Milgram Experiment forever changed not only how people look at the dangers of authoritarianism, but also people’s inhumanity to each other.
        Stanley Milgram was born on August 15, 1933, in New York City. Milgram was an exceptionally bright young man. After receiving his Ph.D. in Social Psychology in 1960. In 1967, he served as a full professor at the City University of New York Graduate Center.
        Stanley Milgram wondered how and why the Nazi Holocaust occurred and if it was possible if such events could ever happen again in the future.

        The Aftermath of the Experiment
        When the events of the Milgram Experiment were made public, a great deal of shock swept the nation. The academic community often felt that there was a decide lack of ethics in an experiment of this nature. Regardless, Milgram went on to become world famous and remained so until his death in 1984.

        It seems steeple swing on a pendulum of average of 40%. Between independent thinkers of 10 to 30% to totalterrimism more constant 40%. During the second world War and depression years it could be easily over 80% steeple. This cold third world war between NATO G7 and BRICS, who really knows? I Can imagine very high conciding most people are begging for help from globalist, banks, Technology, more synthetic drugs and foods. Like shooting fish in a barrel.
