?? Has this been released this early intentionally? Not complaining, just curious.

Peter Jones

Yeah, I wish they held off a bit. I need to get some stuff done today, now I've got to listen to this, especially since George is in the house.

Jim Sky

No one from the SGU ever seems to read these comments or if they do I haven't seen a reply.

Jim Sky

I have waited until saturday nite to listen to this... because this is something I do on saturday nites.

Finally got the Discord thing to work. I don't care for it though figuring out how to get it set up with the woefully poor guidance provided was a considerable feat that I shall always remember.

Jim Sky

Croak...croak..

I already bought 4 copies of the book online.. (sharing is caring) I won't be able to buy a signed copy though, because I live in the Netherlands..

Rogues! You talked about the Milgram Experiment and talked about what most people think of when they think of the results of the experiment. I JUST listened to Radiolab's "Bad Show". It was the first story in the show. It turns out that when people were convinced that what they were doing was for the "greater good", (something they ought to do) many people would continue shocking. When they ordered the subject to shock the person, "You must shock the subject", 0% shocked the subject. Meaning: as long as you can convince people that what they are doing is for the greater good, many people will shock even after struggling with the situation. However, when they say, "You have no other choice", they are ordered, nobody shocked the subject. This experiment is being played out right now (IMHO) in America. <a href="https://www.wnycstudios.org/story/180092-the-bad-show/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.wnycstudios.org/story/180092-the-bad-show/</a> (12 year listener)
