Here's a famous example of a "just talk" experiment that went wrong (it literally created the Unabomber):

From the article: "Murray subjected his unwitting students, including Kaczynski, to intensive interrogation — what Murray himself called 'vehement, sweeping, and personally abusive' attacks, assaulting his subjects’ egos and most-cherished ideals and beliefs."

I guess that's technically "just talk" but it's not what most people would think of as "just talk".


Didn't they dose him with LSD?
