No matter how the researcher went about instilling the feelings of power, the results were the same: Within minutes, a feeling of power flips a switch in the brain that says, “The rules now do not apply to me. BRING ME A WHORE.”

And this next point goes a long way toward explaining the passivity and victim psychology of the Left:

But even stranger, the people induced to feel powerless went the opposite way — they actually were more self-critical than they’d normally be. Think about what that says about society: The people who are already powerless, as a result feel like they’re less worthy to be in power and thus stay powerless.

It’s always fun to read cracked.com a.k.a. “the cool wikipedia”. It’s a really addicting website. In the meanwhile, I’m daring to recommend you this link: http://slate.me/nwo0JT. Definitively I can’t grasp yet what did slate.com (and neuroscientists) meant when it proclaimed that “free will” and “evil” do not exist?
