There’ve been criticisms of Milgram’s conclusions from his experiment, many quite valid. However there have also been replications that largely validate his findings. For a lot of us I guess it goes some way to providing insights around how “good” people (including ourselves and those we love) can end up doing some really horrible things.
There was a TV movie on Stanley Milgram and his experiment back in the 1970s. I remember being struck by it at the time. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzV_Z6EXhpE&t=55s
It was considered controversial at the time, I vaguely remember, so much so that it wasn't shown again.
Interesting. Peter Gabriel did a song about it in the late 1970s. "We Do What We're Told." Thanks, Julie.

Seems like the best way to think about it. Thanks.
