The Monkey Experiment

[azrodrigues]

That's culture!

[mascotasydemasbichos]

You fucking asshole, leave the animals alone. Get yourself in a cage and cut your dick

[codenameGIZM0]

You can't really equate monkeys with humans. Stupid humans, maybe. There's always been and always will be those unique individuals who aren't that easily discouraged, who don't blindly follow the crowd. If that were the case, we would not be here now, would we??

@ladyfuschia

Yeah, I could agree, but it seems more of a culture problem than of individuals. I think monkey challenge hierarchies in their environment. They are acting like that because of our intervention, punishment is too scary for them to cope with, like primitive people and thunder. Humans don't question authorities enough for my taste. Taboos are specific to humans, though.

@organdva I would have to take the experiment further. First, I would increase the number of monkeys added into the cage and see if there came a point when the monkeys forgot about the "punishment" and perhaps held back from participating in the attack on the new member. Also, would there ever come a point when the formerly frightened monkeys would jump to defend the newbie? Add the stimulus of a monkey outside of the cage calmly eating a banana w/o punishment. Many options to try. Hmmm....

This experiment can easily be related to humans. While some people don't go out and do crimes because they're wrong, most don't for fear of being fined or imprisoned. Even if a group of people are being abused they often wont stand up and fight back for fear of punishment. It is odd to me that people support police using extremely excessive force against some protesters who like to yell, hold signs, and increase your commute time by 10 minutes.

this is how the military operates as well. I played that game for 4 years and I can't tell you how many times I heard "that's just the way it's always been done" and "you don't get paid to think, just do it." People DIE because of this thought process. If there are rounds seeking to explode your skull, YOU NEED TO THINK AND ACT not salute and wait for an order. Sorry army but I'm human being, NOT a monkey. And yes, a monkey can pass the ASVAB

Nice except for the very last image. That just shows ignorance.
