I don’t what’s in the video but this study afaik has never been reproduced (that is, attempts to reproduce the result have failed) and is treated as if it’s discredited. It’s very provocative idea though (which is why it’s probably so popular in culture).
absolutely, many of these are fake, but are portrayed as the model for understanding of human behavior. the experiments are not important - the narrative is important. what's worse, the engineers of societies are attempting to prove that they are correct, and will go to great lengths to prove a point.
the year of the study alone (1971) should raise suspicion.

I wonder if it would be reproducible now, we're in an environment that is much closer to 1971 than 1990...

There are great swaths of science, especially in the social sciences areas and some of the medical areas, that have been passed through the peer-review process that cannot be duplicated. Some experiments have been rerun tens of times with no reproductions of results. Lately, some of the medical and scientific journals have been retracting peer-reviewed studies because of faked data and bogus descriptions of results. Even the once sacrosanct “Nature” and “Lancet” have been having these problems and retracting many papers. Are you ready to give up the peer-review process and only rely on duplication of results in science? After all it is not The ScienceTM.

we have stacker.news science territory =)
perhaps one day we'll have legit stackers post their own natural science experiments.

That would be interesting.
