    The real experiment is when there is a high stakes scenario. A game won't uncover/amplify that behaviour as much as when you are dealing with a situation where stakes are high eg your survival, lot of money is at stake, safety of you or someone you love etc. It would also be interesting to study this phenomenon with respect to age, gender, nationality, education.

      @Sionnach1601 4 роки тому +5

      You're partly right. But Alphas can tend to go with the group if it suits their agenda, then rouse those next to them to ridicule the sore thumb, standing out in his or her own.
      I am not an alpha, but I have constantly been at odds with most group thinking, but been proven right afterwards.
      Being honest, it still doesn't get any easier being the sore thumb, BUT I cannot ignore my conscience nor disrespect the mechanism within me that is designed to recognise the Truth.
