Impossible Experiments

These are pretty funny and interesting. Plus, our own Tamler Sommers and Joshua Knobe have contributions. Go have a look! (Thanks to Duane Long for the pointer.)

Anyone interested in such impossible experiments will probably want to see The Dark Knight (if you haven't yet, which is increasingly unlikely). The Joker argues for a Freudian thesis that civilization thinly disguises the inner brutality and selfishness of normal people. He runs an experiment at the end of the movie to prove his point. I won't spoil the details, but personally, I would have expected the experiment to turn out differently.
