What do you think about this experiment? Do you see parallels of this experiment with western society?

It would be a stretch to say that rodents behave similarily to humans, but I do think that decadence is a rending force.There is SOME likeness, but I wouldn't press it too far since1) we aren't given enough resources to live comfortably and 2) we aren't limited by space. In fact, I think these two points are the most common critique of his experiments.

This is also a bit off with consciousness, boredom, exapseration, etc...

>we aren't limited by space

wew lad

You'll eat those words in a few decades son

Well, let's hope we have that long...

2bh it sounds like a bunch of horseshit by someone that wanted a conclusion that fit his personal view of what was wrong with humanity


has the experiment ever been repeated?

As far as I know no.

man, i find the cultural sink so fascinating.

Exactly why I wanted to show this to you westerners. I found this experiment so fascinating.

I want to see the experiment repeated with tiny ps4's in the mouse apartments as well as Sup Forums on little laptops.

It's like oh hey we're going to suggest this experiment is indicative of the human condition by removing any semblance of it.

LA is a good example how really fucked up zoning and city planning can lead to a bad case of urban sprawl. I guess it would be like saying that as long as we can grow horizontally, the skyscrapers don't blot out too much of the light. Even so. New York and Hong Kong are good examples of hyper density but the cities still function... perhaps just limping about in the case of New York, even so, resources are scare and they still need to compete (for jobs and housing) in the cities.

Still, though, the experiment is interesting regardless.

Vid by computing forever.
Warning: has MGTOW (which I disagree to a degree) in the title.

>another maryland thread

what a weekend

praise kek

>tfw spergs on Sup Forums think they're the 'beautiful ones'

Explain this image

>Moral decay could arise “not from density, but from excessive social interaction"

Sounds about right. Look at what the Internet Age has ushered in: SJWs, Tumblrinas, BLM, hashtag activism, LGBTQAPA, libtard bloggers, etc, etc...

We're the ones left behind. You all know those mice would shit post on pol and complain about brown mice fucking slut mice and raping the "pritty ones".

It appears to be a man surrounded by mice

NYC is a shit-hole. I spent a lot of time there. I have no idea how the majority of people afford to live there working their menial labor and CS jobs, they must all be on welfare and food stamps.

If there were any sort of crisis that city would be a war zone. Food or water shortages and it would be The Purge in real life.

humans would not have their minds stagnated in such an environment, and we're not even using 1% of space even in the western continent. It's a stupid experiment that tried to apply human nature to mice that was even a joke then, and its an even bigger joke now.

>What do you think about this experiment? Do you see parallels of this experiment with western society?

Yep. That is exactly what is happening.

The experiment studied overcrowding. It's often misinterpreted here to have reached conclusions about having needs met.

>Ramsden says. “Not all of Calhoun’s rats had gone berserk. Those who managed to control space led relatively normal lives.”

So we should be building that wall then.

I think humans have evolved to avoid this population crash. Every few decades or centuries, there would be a massive war that annihilates a double-digit % of the population, leaving the survivors to rebuild. The cycle itself is the population control, possibly brought on by increasingly antisocial behavior as population density increases.

nice meme, green party faggot

Your life is a Skinner Box. In Nature, animals will fight their oppressors instinctively. By being weak, we have allowed ourselves to become domesticated. Man is supposed to be an Apex Predator, not a cuck.

well now you have NEETs who don't reproduce and keep population numbers low.
