Asch Conformity Experiment - Ed Hurst - 04-04-2023
It's one of three topics covered in this blog post from Toby Rogers. In essence, the experiment shows that people tend to conform socially against their own better judgment. It's connected to the ugly Milgram Experiment and the Stanford Prison Experiment.
Of course, the whole point for us is that faith makes us socially nonconformist. Faith demands you take the risk of standing out from the crowd when tested.

It also illustrated that social cohesion might be more important to people than truth.

Yep, cults take advantage of this.
