"Let me begin on April 28th, 2004, that's where The Lucifer Effect was born. Because, I was in Washington. I belong to an organization called The Council of Scientific Society Presidents. The President of every one of the 60 major scientific societies, Chemistry, Biology, Physics, etc., etc., and Psychology, it's the only soft, soft science, meet twice a year there, and I was actually elected President of the group, so I was President of the Presidents."

"The Devil proves he was right and GOD was wrong. How does he do it? He shows how easy it is to corrupt Adam and Eve. Have a little snakes, let's eat the apple. She eats the apple, she tells the guy "Hey, I ate the apple, you eat the apple too: I don't want to go down alone." And so, HE IS RIGHT! You should not honor Adam, because he is corruptible. So, that starts..."
"Part of my mission is to recover the reputation of Lucifer."
To perpetually enhance leadership skills development in the science community;
My Comments: Truth and knowledge are supposed to lead science, not the skills of a few key individuals placed in leadership positions. To seek the development of said skills implies that this organization aims to purposely orient science to fulfill an agenda other than truth and knowledge.
To develop an enduring network of past and present national leadership in science;
My Comments: They are purposely building an "Old Boy's Club" of leaders with bridges between the past hierarchs controlling scientific orthodoxy and their candidates for replacement, who are set on rails to pursue the same goals.
To provide communication and collaboration among the various scientific disciplines through the presidents of scientific societies;
My Comments: They clearly state they exist to organize all scientific bodies in a coordinated manner, the "bosses" of each discipline being channeled through this organization, with all scientists brought into cooperative synergy under the authority of their field specific presidents.
To deliberate and adopt public policy positions and act upon science research and education issues of national or international scope;
My Comments: They are gathered in order to unite their power and make them take common positions used to affect public policy, and this organization grants itself authority over research and education policy worldwide.
To develop ways to enhance the public understanding and appreciation of science;
My Comments: They are missioned to improve their own impact on the public mind, projecting a vision of reality through science, promoting it within and through their respective scientific disciplines, coordinating their broadcasts using innovative propagandist methods.
CSSP's plenary sessions always feature prominent leaders in government, universities, academies, and industry. Its banquet is highlighted by a keynote (agency heads, distinguished scientists, top Presidential advisors, Members of Congress)
In 1971, Zimbardo accepted a tenured position as professor of psychology at Stanford University. With a government grant from the U.S. Office of Naval Research, he conducted the Stanford prison study in which 24 normal college students were randomly assigned to be "prisoners" or "guards" in a mock prison located in the basement of the psychology building at Stanford (three additional college students were selected as alternates, but did not participate in the study).
The two week planned study into the psychology of prison life ended only after 6 days due to emotional trauma being experienced by the participants. The students quickly began acting out their roles, with "guards" becoming sadistic and "prisoners" showing extreme passivity and depression.

And you got all of that from this one lecture? Clearly you're not familiar with Zimbardo and his work and you clearly misconstrued what he is discussing in these videos. The Lucifer Effect is Zimbardo's name for how good people can become evil through societal influences. When he talks about redeeming Lucifer's reputation, he is saying not to think of him as an innately evil creature, but one whose downfall was brought about by societal pressures. He is pretty much saying that evilness is not a hard wired characteristic and if one can go from good to evil through outside influences then the converse should also be possible.
As for the Council of Scientific Society Presidents, it has nothing to do with how actual research is performed. It has more to do with the organization of the major societies. Every field of science has at least one, and usually a few, major societies that researchers in that field belong to. Members pay annual dues and as a result they get journals published by that society, as well as the ability to present research at that society's conferences. Outside of that belonging to a scientific society doesn't really entail anything. At the time of this video Zimbardo happened to be the president of the largest psychological society the APA. Since that time he is retired and the current president is Melba Vasquez.
Which only shows up how screwed up the mythology has become, because according to the Bible, Lucifer is just another name for the planet Venus. Planet's are not inherently evil…

I think that a short sighted Religion has gotten a stranglehold on not just its parishioners, but the very fabric of our society and twisted it to such an extent that Anytime a mention is made of "Lucifer," there lies a knee jerk reaction that mingles little with logic or reason.
A knee jerk reaction that blinds any attempt at illumination.

What does he look like?
Was he with anyone else of note (Santa, the Tooth Fairy, Freddy Kreuger, etc.)?
