So I read this book called "The Wave" and it was great.

A history teacher was asked by a student how the Nazis could do what they did (concentration camps and all) but the teacher has no answer to it. He says that the people who were doing those horrible things said that they were "just following orders" or that "if they disobeyed they'd be killed". However there's much more to that.

[SPOILER] The teacher then decides to do an experiment with his students but it goes out of control and a movement called "The Wave" is created (Which can be compared to the party). More and more people start joining the movement and the border between experimentation and reality becomes increasingly blurred ... Based on a true story btw.

So now, to get to what I'm trying to say here, In your opinions, WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THE HUMAN BEHAVIOUR AND LEARNING FROM OUR MISTAKES (AND THE MISTAKES OF THOSE BEFORE US)?

Good luck answering the 1 million $ Q.

What do you think of this thread?

The answer is so that we can (ideally) detect behaviour like this and act on it to prevent it from happening on a mass-scale yet again

Which I sadly believe is inevitable but once (if?) a lot more of the world becomes educated then who knows
