I voted for your mention of Milgram. We ignore his findings at our peril. There's no doubt that humans are much worse to each other when they can displace their responsibility for atrocities.

I wonder what it's cost us to have this truly important aspect of human behavior canonized by someone whose methods were as sensationalist as Milgram's. I'm not entirely sure we've learned.
