He also says if I remember correctly that certain parts of the bible were written by humans so that the target demographic follows authority.
That part to me makes no sense, because in the end it would be God's authority in a way, not the authority of any human, or any human pretending to speak for God.
What he says would make sense however in regards of the Pope, the one human that pretends to be talking w/ God or some other nonsense and for the sheeple it would make sense.
Of course no one of us here knows for certain if the bible as a whole as written by humans, or if parts of it are in a way real so to say. I think certain life lessons make sense to me regardless and I can not consider them bad per se.
And "at the beginning there was the word" could simply be about frequencies, the bible may even fully make sense on a whole new level. Anyway, that's not the point.
I also do not disagree with him saying that basically a situation made people commit evil acts, like Abu Graib, but hey at least he says that the ones at the top ordering that shit (gitmo-ify it) are responsible.
And I also consider the psychological experiments that he mentions horseshit, because all they provide somewhat proof for is that for example psychology students acted this one time in this specific way, again I think psychology as a whole is horseshit.

>I am attacking the arguments, although I do think Z is a slippery character.
3 of your 4 points are about Zimbardo himself, you now claiming that you would attack his arguments is kinda ridiculous, and it's even more ridiculous because you are a random user without a name, or face to attack.
>What does Z think aboiut God?
What does it matter concerning that topic?
What is that even supposed to do?
Should I be going "oh wow, maybe he thinks about God in a way that is different than me, so I better not listen to him at all"?
Is that what you are trying to do?
>1. What kind of person calls himself a hero?
That's all there is from your side.
And what is that even supposed to mean?
Actually what is a hero?
Doing the "right" thing at the right moment?
Let's say someone rescues a drowning female and gets her out of freezing water, risking his or her life in the process.
Would that person typically call him/herself "a hero"? No.
What would happen in that case, that this person would be CALLED a hero because of her/his actions at the right time.
I doubt many heroes would call themselves heroes. In fact he mentions that bit in his video (you watched that, right? You are not just attacking him without watching his full video?), saying that such heroes are typically going "well I'm not a hero, I just did what I did".
