The question he named in the beginning of the video ,, Why do we make decisions that our future selves so often regret?'' describes the main idea about this research that he is introducing .
The thing is that in our life we make decisions and we have many opinions on what so ever but the thing is that we often think that it won't change from 10 years but the case is that when we grow older we remember who we were and what our opinions were before but they have changed in most cases.

Philip Ziambardo introduces his studies on how people can turn bad. He says that evil is the exercise of power and that is the key. People doesn't just come to the world bad or suddenly looses their minds, no, the thing is that power is in the system and people turn bad in a long time. If they happen to get in to a bad situation it can have an affect on them. Philip said that if you want to change a person than you'd have to change the situation and this is what he is trying to explain to the listeners.
