Is there a correlation between the everyday perspectives and an obedience factor that drives us to comply with authority? The Milgram experiment has always made me wonder about what authority figures are telling me to accomplish their will. I'm open to ideas about if we are just naturally oblivious to the everyday or are we told indirectly that the everyday is just not important enough to spend time thinking about, so we generally don't.
Milgram Experiment
"We start, then, with nothing, pure zero. But this is not the nothing of negation. For not means other than, and other is merely a synonym of the ordinal numeral second. As such it implies a first; while the present pure zero is prior to every first. The nothing of negation is the nothing of death, which comes second to, or after, everything. But this pure zero is the nothing of not having been born." Charles S. Peirce, "Logic of Events" (1898)
