WOW 🤯 🤯Watch this conformity experiment. Actors stand on a beep, pressuring an unwitting woman to follow… Alone, she continues, then influences newcomers. This shows how senseless rules spread like viruses. THINK FOR YOURSELF.. THINK CRITICALLY… DON’T BE A SHEEP !!!

Sheeple Research
The vsauce guy made an episode about Conformity in his Mindfield serie.
IIRC, they put one person to test in a group with 3 actors, then are shown a basic "Which line is longer?" test, were the answers were made to be as easy and obvious as possible. The one point however, is that everyone answer one at a time, with the test person being the last to answer (so he hears all the actors' answers first, then have to say his own).
For the first few tests, the actors and the test person answers all questions correctly. However, after a little while, all the actors start to give the same wrong answer. At this moment, the vast majority of people will actually give the same wrong answer, rather than go against the flow and say the right answer.
To me, this was an even better test, because it shows that people will willingly say something wrong, just to "fit in the group". It's not just doing something without reasons, it's actually lying and saying a different answer than what you know is true.
