One day I would like to study the social networks and links between individuals on social media. Based off of my Small-World Experiment, which I conducted in the late 60s, it would be interesting to see how long the average path length for social networks is nowadays.

It may be that we are puppets—puppets controlled by the strings of society. But at least we are puppets with perception, with awareness. And perhaps our awareness is the first step to our liberation. #mywords #quote

Here is an illustration of the setup of my obedience experiment.

Within the obedience experiment, I decided to focus on the social elements of psychology, & tested how an individual would act with an authority figure around, in hopes that I would better understand the ruthlessness of the Nazis and the whole idea of the Holocaust.

Still very much proud of the accomplishments I had made in 1963 during the famous Milgram Obedience Experiment that I had conducted.

Currently reflecting on the time I spent at Queen College and Harvard University as a young man. Eternally thankful for the learning opportunities and also the path that these two great institutions directed me towards. #thankful #harvard #queens #1954 #1960
