Great video and very important, one little hiccup tho. He says “most of the new monkeys didn’t know why they were stopping other monkeys from climbing the stairs” I would say none of them knew why because none of them has seen the water.
This should explain to people about traffic lights. They are not needed now, as they were not needed many decades ago. Traffic lights are not used in all countries. In cities around Europe where this is being tested, again, they have found there are less than 2 car crashes in a 12 month span.
@thenofxer - Stephenson, G. R. (1967). Cultural acquisition of a specific learned response among rhesus monkeys. In: Starek, D., Schneider, R., and Kuhn, H. J. (eds.), Progress in Primatology, Stuttgart: Fischer, pp. 279-288.
And then the monkey who shakes it up and goes against established best practices (don't climb the ladder) screws over al lthe other monkeys and gets them hosed down (what happens when you climb the ladder). Be careful what parrallels you draw from these types of things. Sometimes things "are done that way around here" for a reason. Did your mother just say you wear a seatbelt in a car around here or explain that you would get in a crash a die a horrible death? And did you go against it?
it is cheap and sensationalistic, when the bruises and blood on the guys face are makeup and photoshop. the part of the 5 monkeys is fine on it's own. adding a pic of a guy getting beaten by a fake cop with his face all bloody, seems cheap to me. but be that as it may...
In the beginning I thought this was going to take a different path. Like the first new Monkey climbs the stairs and grabs the banana because he paid off the Government and it's agency heads, and becomes a tycoon. LOL.
@fegu Not only religion. It explains the state of intelligence we're living in right now. Everybody just believes what the "most believeable thing" called culture tells us. We're still bunch fuckin' monkeys because we still don't think with our own brain..
I think that the second new monkey will team up with the other new monkeys to fight off the old monkeys and go get the banana, especially when they're starving!
This result is not so surprising, if you take a look on the topic "cognitive bias" in wikipedia. Due to the short amount of time to make important decisions in the past (like escaping a predator) , primates had to develop a faster way to acquire knowledge from the environment. This had to a price: decisions are not optimal ones, are just good enough. Also, in the channel of philosophyfreak there is a nice explanation about this.
This is all assuming that monkeys are completely incapable of communicating the water danger to each other...but, as proved from recent experiments on crows, this may not be the case. Animals are, atleast to some extent, capable of passing on past information to future genrations.
What isn't mentioned is that monkeys don't have history books, the internet or anything else to reference the banana with. Humans do. This example is flawed in that it doesn't represent the environment we live in.
Great video! I wonder if monkeys really are that stupid though, or if it's only humans. This explains how police men and soldiers can make themselves do what they do.
I wonder what would happen if someone somehow hit the reset button on our planet. I'm pretty sure we'd live together in peace and harmony forever..
@selvmordspilot yep, exactly ... police I'd drop the men bit though I don't see too many acting like really men lately, they seem to be getting more cowardly, kicking skinny protesters off bikes, shooting crouching women with rubber bullets, piling 7-8 a time on top of someone they need to arrest to bump their statistics, I'm surprised we haven't seen some nutter go on a rampage & turn cop killer before now ... But back to your other point no I don't believe monkeys are that stupid. ...
Great communique and application of the saying "When a well-packaged web of lies has been gradually sold to the masses over generations, the Truth will seem utterly preposterous..."
@PaulGiffs If you honestly thought that then America would have never existed. People fight and die for what they believe in, if they don't then their spineless worthless scum.
Orwell was concerned with the power of totalitarian systems to instill beliefs firmly held, widely accepted despite having no foundation, at variance with obvious facts about the world around.
=^.^= Trouble is, there's a "foundation" for the established "belief" (taboo) because YOU (Godforce analogy) are still there to spray climbing apes. Aanalogous to mice having a taboo against approaching mousetraps, though they know not why.
Kill the master, monkeys eat but for a day. So apes get caged.
Please someone explain, why is the new monkey assaulted? because the other monkeys don't want the new monkey to be wet too? If it is that way, then the original monkeys cares about the new monkey?
Interesting stuff, but the main difference between humans and monkeys is that humans have more ability to use reasoning and logic than most monkeys. This is why it is extremely important to always be critical and think about what you're doing. If not, you might never ever get the banana that's waiting at the top of the stairs, no matter how easy it may be.
I would say that we are about at the time when the monkees choose to go rogue !!!, by "climing out of the cage" !!!, Screw that one banana, we want them all !!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Over Simplistic Metaphor, laced with fallacies and presumptions that beg questioning. Too many flawed premises to count. Seems to be an attack on government or authority, but is actually an attack on humanity. When you dehumanize people as animals, you create a self-fulfilling cycle. Try being a rational being, and treat other rational beings as the complex people they are, behavioral training only works on animals.
The difference between animals and human beings is that humans have the ability to reason. Through the power of self-reflection, this gives us the 'free-will' to choose either follow our instinctual animal nature, or ignore it and act rationally. The fact that many, if not most, human beings lazily choose to follow their instinct and thus to act as animals, does not disrupt my premise. Stated another way, 'those human beings upon which behavioral training works, are animals'.
Are you aware of the fact that Dees is an explicit and open Holocaust denier? A quick search of the terms 'David Dees' holocaust and denial will confirm this, as will a careful search of his websites. I also had a lengthy email correspondence with him about this issue.
It explains why jews vote for Obama who is no friend to Israel, Why some gay groups support islamic terrorist organizations that would have them hanged, and why the black community continues to support the Democrats that wish to keep them dependent on the gov.

Is this the same as Stephenson's 1967 paper? I am interested in further discussion.

Water represents "the law". Banana represents God-given rights to pursue happiness, or your natural rights if you're atheist. These are rights you're born with, not "granted by government". We instituted our government (the constitution) to PROTECT our INDIVIDUAL rights - not "democratic rights" (majority rule). We're the monkeys. Evil men & women have turned it upside down and we've allowed it. Now, like the monkeys, we have been trained to think government is our master. Protest & get hosed.
this is called evolution....if anyone would try .....would get sprayed....but this video is pointless.....it's like saying ....we should all do things ....even if others say that we should do it....
"the new monkeys were never sprayed with cold water" - that's the whole point, the new monkeys by following old rules never had to suffer the cold water punishment.
THANK YOU!!! I've always tried to explain this without being able to because I always took the longer "ask why" approach which always cause frustration... Now I have the 5 monkeys! THANKS!!!
@justinrunes I'll assume yours is a sincere question - not in the case of Christianity, because all true believers have personal experience of Jesus Christ and know that he dwells with them.
i guess this explains almost everything, from religion to racism, from wearing a certain kind of clothes to feeling the need to own a car even if you live in a place where you can't walk a meter without seeing a subway station.
The only thing that can't be explained is Justin Bieber.
@justinrunes Well said. This is called 'learned helplessness' which is the hallmark of religious cultures. This is why Pakistan, Afghanistan and Arabian nations live in intellectual poverty and misery. Nobody dares to rise.
why we fight, why we hate, why we fear, why we work our asses off for money, useless shreds of paper. we do it because its what everyone else has told us its what were supposed to do, thats life, you work your ass off, you get money, you save it up so you dont HAVE to work, when your old. you cant enjoy your money all that much then can you? but isnt that how life is supposed to be?
@justinrunes Not exactly. :-) But it may explain what we call CONSCIENCE
C = condit. obedience through vicarious learning & is a part of all ideological systems secular & religious
Observing reactions of others, we learn behaviors leading to social disapproval. Only later do some of us develop critical thinking skills needed to question tradition.
Phenom. of religion is still disputed. Psychology recognizes Evolutionary(Terror Management) & Social theories of R., both not without flaws.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
wow, whoever made this video needs to take psych 101. the cold water is used as a positive punishment. this punishment is then transferred into the original five monkeys. the new monkey receives positive punishment from them through the attacks. so, the five new monkeys understand that they will be punished if they attempt to gain the bananas. this has hardly anything to do with human learning, because humans would actually communicate and then let the newcomer find out on its own.
i really like this but it would be cool if you got a little more creative at the end and said what would happen next in society or, if not that, then made the metaphor more obvious
@lightmobile often the government maintains what has been done for the past ___(insert number) years, even if the current government itself does not know exactly why they are maintaining it, or have not carefully understood why it is to be maintained in such an order
Yep - this is the same method that has been used against the American public for the last 100 years or so by progressives / the extreme left. They have been training us via law suits, school indoctrination, global warming lies etc. They didn't think the monkeys would ever wake up. But they DID - and now the progressives / the left are scrambling to keep the cage doors shut. Oops! It's not going to work! Change IS coming - just not the kind you THOUGHT you were going to get PROGRESSIVES!
@flint1138: it is targeting all stupid beliefs we currently think (well most of humans at least) are definite and final without knowing why. Can you tell me why it is OK for a child to see someone being murdered on TV but it is NOT OK for it to see a boob or, wow, a penis? And before you answer, please find any scientific studies confirming your claim. And keep in mind that I am NOT claiming that this must or should be changed, I am simply asking a question which I do not know the answer to.
I'm ignorant? You had best pull ur head out of -the sand- and investigate the FACTS like lies exposed in East Anglia emails, Al Gore's "hockey stick" is mis-leading bcuz rising temperatures cause rising CO2 (not the opposite), notable global warming scientists are exposing that data has been manipulated etc etc. In FACT there is a mountain of evidence (and more each day) that the whole thing is nothing but a socialist power grab and money grab.
@88stratocaster Uh no, try again. You just said something that made you sound extraordinarily misinformed, go take a 9th grade Earth Systems class and come back here and say that with a straight face.
What on earth has that got to do with the left? Seems to me an attempt to describe democratic law making practices regardless of their political orientation
So wait a minute. Society is kept from its potential to accumulate bananas by a series of monkeys in orange suits who live in a cage floating in the middle of infinite space? I don't get it

@justinrunes and racism
ThePharcydePhreak 9 months ago
@justinrunes Not exactly. :-) But it may explain what we call CONSCIENCE
C = condit. obedience through vicarious learning & is a part of all ideological systems secular & religious
Observing reactions of others, we learn behaviors leading to social disapproval. Only later do some of us develop critical thinking skills needed to question tradition.
Phenom. of religion is still disputed. Psychology recognizes Evolutionary(Terror Management) & Social theories of R., both not without flaws.

wow, whoever made this video needs to take psych 101. the cold water is used as a positive punishment. this punishment is then transferred into the original five monkeys. the new monkey receives positive punishment from them through the attacks. so, the five new monkeys understand that they will be punished if they attempt to gain the bananas. this has hardly anything to do with human learning, because humans would actually communicate and then let the newcomer find out on its own.

@lightmobile often the government maintains what has been done for the past ___(insert number) years, even if the current government itself does not know exactly why they are maintaining it, or have not carefully understood why it is to be maintained in such an order

Yep - this is the same method that has been used against the American public for the last 100 years or so by progressives / the extreme left. They have been training us via law suits, school indoctrination, global warming lies etc. They didn't think the monkeys would ever wake up. But they DID - and now the progressives / the left are scrambling to keep the cage doors shut. Oops! It's not going to work! Change IS coming - just not the kind you THOUGHT you were going to get PROGRESSIVES!

I'm not sure that's the point he was trying to make... I don't think think he is targeting a single group, I think this is meant for everyone.
flint1138 1 year ago 28
@flint1138: it is targeting all stupid beliefs we currently think (well most of humans at least) are definite and final without knowing why. Can you tell me why it is OK for a child to see someone being murdered on TV but it is NOT OK for it to see a boob or, wow, a penis? And before you answer, please find any scientific studies confirming your claim. And keep in mind that I am NOT claiming that this must or should be changed, I am simply asking a question which I do not know the answer to.

edawglemon 1 year ago
I'm ignorant? You had best pull ur head out of -the sand- and investigate the FACTS like lies exposed in East Anglia emails, Al Gore's "hockey stick" is mis-leading bcuz rising temperatures cause rising CO2 (not the opposite), notable global warming scientists are exposing that data has been manipulated etc etc. In FACT there is a mountain of evidence (and more each day) that the whole thing is nothing but a socialist power grab and money grab.
88stratocaster 1 year ago
how does one manipulate rising temperatures? are you one of those people who think because its snowing a lot more that there is no global warming?

@88stratocaster "rising temperatures cause rising CO2 (not the opposite)"
For fuck's sake, they're called greenhouse gasses for a reason.
