    It's a punishment room, the reward is to get to an office. The "pit" is a fine place to visit but a terrible place to stay. Though I think the true reason "open plan" is used is bad management, they don't know how many people they'll need and just try to cram more people into the space that they have, open plan gets more bodies into a unit area.

    I had just over 50 rats at one time, thanks to a friend mixing up and putting two girls in the boys home. I had 10, 6 boys and 4 girls, and a couple weeks later there was over 30. I don't remember how the third pregnancy occurred. I had built a large cube in the living room with two plexiglass wall for the boys, which outnumbered the girls. Everyone was happy and healthy and no fights. The most incredible moment I saw was when one boy was taking the dry spaghetti from me and placing them equally next to his brothers/cousins. He literally would eye how many they had and once they had enough, he'd finally take some for himself.

    I connected four fish tanks with 8 foot clear plastic pipes, they had been four separate worlds, two for goldfish, one for tetras, and one tank for a 12 inch pleco. The water is circulated between tanks and the whole system has one filter. The behavior stuff has been the most interesting. Two of the tanks are always crowded and two are underpopulated. Two goldfish readily take the tunnels, two stumble into them occasionally, and two won't go in. One goldfish likes living by herself with a hundred tetras and minnows, another alternates between a crowded tank and the ghost town next door. The giant pleco travels the 30 foot length to see a pleco in the far tank. The book says never put them together, but I guess it means never trap them together. Only one fish acted worse, a pink shark catfish. When the worlds came together, he realized what happened and went from tank to tank, beating up the goldfish.

    I think there were 2 key problems: lack of challenges and lack of activity. Too much challenge could led to stress, hopelessness and similar; similar with having no rest has bad effects too. However also the opposite too little or none leads to results like in the rat experiment. So fora healthy live, activity and challenges are needed. Like when people retire, they need hobbies, social life, physical activity and so on. Sitting only on a coach watching TV and snacking, even if it feels like I am so free, will surely end badly.

    @@dtyj2815 You're missing my point. Rats are naturally scavengers, so when everything they need for scavenging is suddenly just available on a whim, the rats need to adjust their new living situations accordingly, but they don't really know how to do that. Calhoun created a utopia, yes, but that same utopia quickly dissolves into a dystopia since the rats cannot figure out how to live in their new environment in a way that is beneficial for everyone. A utopia is a world where everyone (or at the very least the ideal citizens) are living in relative harmony. These rats were not experiencing any of this, at all. The preset conditions are one of a utopia, yes, but a population that cannot adjust to that which goes against their very nature as rodents forces these utopias to quickly become dystopias. This is what I'm trying to say here. Maybe this isn't quite the same, but let's take Nazi Germany for example: It was suppose to be a utopia for the German people. World War II aside, Nazi Germany was anything but a utopia. This is because of the persecution towards jews and political opponents, and the obsessions over a "master race." Also the only people truly able to benefit from the Nazi system were of course Nazi party members, and even then it was only the ones who had the support of Hitler and his subordinates. Do you think people enjoyed having their friends and neighbors "disappear" overnight? Or even having to take part in the departure of their friends? Do you think they enjoyed watching others being arrested and killed in the streets en masse? Or having any of their criticisms of the system heavily censured and receiving death threats if they continued this opposition to the Nazi system? For a Nazi, their Germany must've felt like a utopia. For everyone else? A dystopia; Hell. They would've wanted to ditch the country soon as possible. Hell, in the Mouse Utopia Experiment, the rats tried to escape, but they couldn't so they had to cope with segregation. Obviously, that didn't work.

Go somewhere where you can let your animal body breathe and make sounds and move like it wants to.

    @@cherilynnfisher5658 Well my guess for the flaw is that the experiment wasn't repeated but done only once instead. And the correlations are so many i don't even know how to begin with, i won't even name all of them since it would take too long, instead i will over generalise is: Industrial revolution, which in my belief was a tragic accident that was not supposed to happen to our race has led us to a point where mices were at the start of the experiment (at least for the western countries) basically unlimited food, water, electricity, warmth, mass housing, welfare programs and so on, this was not that much of an issue when life itself was still very hard in 19th century or when world wars happened, but when life became insanely easy and big wars stopped happening after WW2, our population boom happened which then ended and was met with population stagnation, or in some places (including my country) decline despite the fact that our living of standards remained mostly the same for this time, and we have just as much space and ability to reproduce just as we did before, yet we choose not to. The only places in the west where population is still rising (Like US and France) are only caused by mass migration to this countries (to US from Latin America and to France from Africa) its native population though is reproducing in very low numbers compared to more normal times in history of thier countries. In mices, the population broke down, started seperating each other, some mices became hyper-masculine, other hyper-feminine (there was also this whole thing about the "beautifull ones" which are basically what we people consider "transgenders" or "femboys" to be) violence, fear and stress was also in big increase, mices would have thier tails bitten or even be killed by other mices in numbers never observed in mices in thier normal living environments, which is also happening to us Humans. Now the best example is China, they industrialized quickly, population boom, then decline, society starts hating itself and tearing itself apart, people are seperating each other, men are becoming hyper-feminine, isolated, people don't want to reproduce, China is already facing an inevitable population collapse which at this point is unpreventable, Japan is experiencing this thing even more in fact where population decline is happening for 20 years already. This leads me to believe places like North America, Europe, China, South Korea or Japan and many others will be depopulated and made insignificant by the end of this century, and will be replaced by African countries, which might too experience thier fate when they become "developed" ultimately, no industrial society will ever last , the only thing that can keep those societies going is when they constantly fight wars and make life difficult for thier population, but ultimately, it would simply have been better off for everybody if industrial revolution never happened in the first place.

Humans can and do decide to change their behavior in ways and for reasons that would never occur to non human mammals. Thats why we regulate damn near everything.

    Intellect can only go so far when bad behavior keeps being pushed. Imagine the mouse experiment, but human intervention keeps the colony alive by force…. The hell unleashed would be legendary, beyond anything nature could produce. Human intellect will also cause civil war and most people who upkeep the current system will die. Chads and incels are social constructs, because their access to women is based on social perception of those women, which in of itself are made of various social constructs. And when society collapses, those constructs are ripped down, and the reality of the new situation will force adaptation. And thus you will be presented with a situation where the former incel might turn into a chad, and chad might become the new incel, or both become chads, or both incels and a new chad arises.

    I think many people including me have accidentally created similar experiments. Rats and mice breed quick. I got 2 boy rats for my kids. They were living in my daughter's doll house. All went well and it was cute until one of the boys turned out to be a girl and had babies in the doll house. Of course it was too small for 2 adults and a litter. I built a large habitat for them all and the "experiment" may have gone on much longer but the mother mouse kept escaping at night. My "cage" wasn't that great though it was large. They were all taken to the pet store after she escaped and ate most of my weed that I used for my insomnia. She must have ate some from her behavior. But a year later I found a lot of it buried in carpet in a corner under furniture. She had stashed it. I'm glad for the experience but they were overwhelming for me to care for. Another time I had two hamsters. Once they were adults they would fight. Get this, I learned by accident that if I rythmicly played a little drum i had they would stop fighting, sit side by side, bow there heads with their little hands together as in prayer. It was one of the strongest things I had ever accidentally caused. If you have hamsters you should try the drum with them and see what happens.

It seems like Calhoun wanted to engineer pain and doom, and he succeeded. I would want to engineer satisfaction and flourishing. I bet it's doable with some architectural tweaks. It's strange that we never tried. It's like scientists don't want to even consider the possibility of an actual utopia.

    Nahhh, the structure of prisons is different. The structure of these Utopias doesn't focus solely on enclosure that you see in prisons. Population growth in an unhindered society is what most likely causes the changes in behavior. You don't see that in a prison where reproduction is not a thing.

    Why did the rats crowd around certain feeding locations? BECAUSE CALHOUN DESIGNED IT THAT WAY. He used chunk food that was confined to a hopper so that they had to eat there, and could not bring food back to their nests. THIS was the cause of the abnormal social situation, which ultimately led to the extinction of the colony.

Then many people in irl are just husks and its a sad sight to bestow upon. I try not to get attached anymore because ik I'm never going to see the person again.

    Actually, it’s a prequel to the first Stuart Little. Stuart is raised in one of the Universes and must overcome the abuse, trauma, and psychologicL horror that haunts him throughout adolescence. After being kicked out by his mother and brutally assaulted by fellow mice in the Utopia, an elder mouse tells him of the simulation he is living in, and that his life is a lie and that he must escape. Months of training and hiding prepare him for the escape from his Utopian society and revolt against collectivism and the matrix he is a slave to. He violently attacks his brothers and the mice around him, slaughtering hundreds of innocent women and children in cold-blooded revenge. He finally breaks through the walls of his city, and set out to murder his human captors. However, he manages to get hit on the head in a comedic fashion. From the trauma, he has been given amnesia and increased intellegence. In a Truman-esque fashion, producers of a popular television show take him in and force him to relive his life in a forced ideal simulation with his family, the Littles. Film theorists say that Stuart Little 3 will expand on the further plot-points. He will remember his past, become his rage full self again, and discover the truth of his television series currently being filmed about him. The final moment we will see of him will be him unable to escape and committing suicide inside of a washing machine with help from enemy Snowbelle.

I come from an engineering not biological science background but, I never thought of rodents as having cooperation. I'm not sure what I would expect it to change just observing that I find my dog relatable, I believe she and I understand each other very well. I don't know how human rodents think by contrast.

    Okay, for everyone commenting on how, “well, duh, of course they were depressed, they were bored, why didn’t he think of that!” He actually did! His later experiments were all focused on trying to fix the behavioral sink issues of his firsts, and involved giving the mice things to do. This is actually where the Author of Mrs Frisby and the Rats of NIMH (the book Secret of NIMH was based on) pulls much of his inspiration! The rat utopia the rats from the book sought to make was based on these later experiments. He even got the name of the main character, Mrs Frisby, from the Frisby Calhoun kept on his lab door for when he needed a little bit of fun too! The problem is that no one really cared too much about Calhouns later experiments, with some fellows saying, “ everyone wanted to hear the diagnosis, no one wanted to hear the cure.” And the fact that they weren’t even mentioned in the video kinda irks me.

    Yeah. But Fred usually goes for the bigger hole leaving out the smaller less important subjects. As the experiments as you mentioned were not popular, It would make sense to not cover it as it had less of an effect on the nation's psyche outside of "The rats of NIMH" (great book and movie I might add). For example his video on the SCP foundation mainly covers the original controversy with no update on the lesser arguments in the community or newer ones that have cropped up. I believe by the time he made his Mother Horse Eyes video the book had unofficially been cancelled as you can tell from the responses on the subreddit. I don't think Fred does it deliberately because he has a certain image he wants to show (In fact he has denied this on his second channel), It more had to do that those later experiments and stories would be ground for an entirely different video, and sometimes (especially in this case) there isn't enough content for an hour or half hour video (the general length of this series)

    (13:23) Perhaps the search for human behavioral sink was inconclusive because most obviously, people filter themselves out; they frequently move in and out of cities. People also have universalist values that reach towards the divine, which transcends the boundaries of self, family, or even genetic tribe. However, the object lesson becomes: being stagnant in location or idea diversity + ejecting values that transcend the self, will make people vulnerable to behavioral sink.

    I was taught about this during my psychology degree. The test was how mice would cope with limited space. Everything was provided, except space. In the end, the entire population became traumatised, and they all died. Even if the last few were given a new start, they did not take it. They just got older and died. The experiment was tried many times, and it always had the same result. Many human civilisations have died, too. However, I have heard that it has been due to the sterilisation of farmland due to overuse. The land became barren, and the people starved and moved away. That is happening now, actually. Farmers won't use organic material. They want to use fertilisers. As a result, the soil is becoming less able to hold nutrients in it. They wash away with the rain. So, more are added. They too wash away. The waterways are polluted by the fertilisers, and the soils are too poor to grow food on. We are killing our world, and ourselves.

    The farmers know how to not destroy the soil. Corporations forced them to monocrop in massive quantities which forced them to use chemical fertilizers. Both that and not being allowed to rotate diffeent crops ruined the soil. Corporations refuse to buy anything but x, y and z. If the farmers declined then no sale.

Rat City was the only one where he had utopia as the goal and his mistake was forcing the rats to live with unwanted members of their society. They would have played with eachother and entertained eachother. That's not the problem. Even I used to think it was until this video explained to me that they were forced to live with the social outcasts.

I don't think they completely lack the need for entertainment/engaging activities, even if those needs are in a far less culturally-developed form in comparison to humans' need for entertainment. Also, just as it is a biological need, the process of sex and the hunt for food are entertainment to the brain in themselves. Having those needs easily attainable without doing much work leaves something to be desired in the brain, often cultivating to overeating and hypersexuality as seen in the end results of the experiment (and in small part of humanity ourselves).

Stick a any number of people inside a building they cannot leave, with nothing to do except eat, sleep, and be social, and their behavior would fall apart just like the rodents in his study. Real life is full of things to do - mice explore, forage for food, escape predators, *live.* Enrichment is extremely important in both animal welfare and to human lives.
