Social experiment

Matter of fact, we're going to do this.

We're going to do a social experiment.

We're going to do a social experiment.

I'm going to hit up one of the promoters.

I'm going to say, hey, put my homie B. Lou on a flyer.

You got a crazy one, too.

Hey, so I'm telling the homie, minus niggas like us, right? If we was...

I said we're going to do a social experiment.

Big Brother is almost ready to open the doors again, although this time those doors are in Brisbane.

The original social experiment returns Monday 26 October at 7.30pm on 10, with a brand new house at Screen Queensland Studios in Hemant, a longer run, live nominations, live evictions, six nights a week and 24-hour streaming.

Last year's return proved that the good old school Big Brother format still has plenty of life in it.

Coco was crowned the winner.

They're actually there stuck with these people in front of them that they have to understand and whether it's their political opinion or the way of life or the way that they are in society and what they think of the different cultures that Australia might contain and how Australia's culture is right now or...

Do you know what I'm getting at? It's like...

All these people are thrown into this social experiment away from the streaming services, except for Paramount Plus because they're sort of a part of that, and away from newspapers.

They haven't got their mobile phone to sit there and dopamine scroll.

Donald Trump may have just screwed over himself and his allies in a crazy, crazy move.

You've also got a polling firm that made up election numbers, calling it a social experiment, and you've got many wondering if it affected the midterms.

Also, this guy just saved 18 kids after jumping onto a bus hurtling down the street.

And you've got a new lawsuit targeting Epstein's inner circle as there are questions mounting over what the DOJ might be hiding.

But hey, anything can happen from here till election day, and we're going to have to wait to see how it plays out.

But then, jumping from some wild accusations to a very wild confession, we've got to talk about a polling firm called Wedgwood Polls.

Because they just admitted to fabricating data as a social experiment.

And their social experiment BS, it was picked up by, you know, just a few little tiny sites, including the New York Times, 50 Plus One, Newsweek, The Hill, Breitbart, The Daily Beast, and the Washington Examiner.

And some bad weighting and bad assumptions on people often comes from their own personal biases.

But did you see the big story about the fake polling firm that duped the media in what they called a social experiment this year? Wedgwood Polls.

They say it was intended to show how easily a fictitious polling company just makes up the numbers, can get recognition from all these poll aggregators and media outlets.

And it was far too easy.

But personal email – yeah that could get a little dicey um i don't know i

don't know so can we let's separate this into into at least two pieces maybe you guys will break it into more let's separate it into the the the general idea of this thing that's always on right that goes off and it's it's there to solve like long-running problems kind of exist and whatever and then kind of the personal liberties it might take with having access to your information? Because the latter to me is yet another massive social experiment.

Are we fundamentally lazier than we care about our personal liberties, right? You know what? It's easier just to let it have access to my data and just, you know, then it can do stuff for me.

I don't have to do it.

So how do you trust it? So they want us to trust these things.

And I like the way you used it, Mario.

Social experiment.

This is an experiment to see how many people will actually do this.
