00:00In 1999, an American social psychologist named Solomon Asch conducted an experiment to try and figure out how group pressure affects our perception of reality.
00:10In this experiment, a subject was shown two cards.
00:13One card had three lines on it of varying lengths.
00:16The second card only had one line on it.
00:19The subject was then asked to match the single line on the second card to the line of equal length on the first card.
00:25Easy enough, right?
00:26The catch was that the other people in the room were actually actors, and they had been instructed to give obviously incorrect answers.
00:34So in some rounds, all the actors would say that the shortest line matched the middle line, even though it was clearly longer.
00:40In other rounds, they would say that the longest line matched the single line, again, obviously.
00:46At first, most subjects refused to go along with it.
00:49They knew the other lines were obviously different lengths, so they picked the one that matched.
00:54But then something interesting happened.
00:56Over time, more and more subjects started to doubt themselves and began to agree with the actors that the obviously different lines were actually the same length.
01:04When there were six actors in the room, 32% of subjects conformed to the group's judgment at least once.
01:11When there were eight actors, that number went up to 65%.
01:15And when there were 12 actors, 81% of subjects gave the wrong answer at least once.
01:21Now this is important because it shows that humans aren't rational beings.
01:26Instead, we're social creatures who interpret the world based on what other people do.
01:31So on board.
01:31Imagine the children.
01:32They're listening.
01:32I say they're translating the ability of their actors to believe in the way.
01:37So knowing who they are, they're translating the parents to remember the experience of what other people.
01:37If you want to read the Só чащites, that the world sets it through.
01:38Just go ahead to your mind, you might come ahead and explain it though.
01:40I'm totally fine with the�� tiempo.
01:41Now, I'm fine with these actors.
01:43But just go ahead and make sure to op스늘.
01:44If you want to read that, then let's read the book together.
01:46So we're fazendo that a few days after you tried to read the text post showed up within the way of the reader school.
01:47That's one of the events that kept reading the pandemic.
