“The researchers argue that psychological manipulation of OPs on this sub is justified because the lack of existing field experiments constitutes an unacceptable gap in the body of knowledge”
They were just convinced the end justified the means. Ethics be damned, there’s knowledge to pursue
They didn’t put it by one. They allege that they thought that since there were no studies in the same vein, it therefore ought to be acceptable, conveniently ignoring the fact that a lot of things that hadn’t been experimented on for the first time were later widely decried as things that never should have happened.
I’d call them weasels, but that would be unfair to actual weasels.
Now you mention it, there haven’t been any studies on what happens when you attempt to send Elon Musk to Mars by catapult. Seems like a worthy and 100% ethical scientific endeavour to me.
How did that get past an ethics panel?

they caused so many butterfly effects, effected hella moods by making them think they were seeing real opinions
I’d say the bots merely got lost in the whole sea of bota.
Have there been scientific studies on humans being eaten alive by alligators? That alone doesn’t feel like a reason to pursue it.
I mean, yeah, it’s called medicine

Coward should’ve ridden in the car they shot to space.
They lied to the ethics panel 😐
