re: Heaven's Gate cult doc on HBOMax

Wife and I watched it a couple days ago, and it was pretty well done. I knew about HG but didn't remember many of the details about it though. We both liked it.

They showed an experiment where someone began to give incorrect answers to simple questions because everyone else in the room was giving a wrong answer.

I'd never fall for that. I'm the a-hole in the meeting that thinks he knows more than anyone else.

We both said the same thing when that part came on. If I knew something to be true I would no doubt give the correct answer, or what I perceived to be correct. Everyone else going with the group wouldn't sway me a single bit I don't think. The lines were clearly the same size, so that is the correct answer.
