In such conditions, mice began to reproduce very quickly. When the number of mice reached 600, competition appeared between the &#8220;old&#8221; and &#8220;new&#8221; generations. There were the first &#8220;rejected&#8221; mice, which got from the others. Males became more passive and females became more aggressive. The population is slowly shrinking. Over time, there appeared handsome males who stopped fighting, fighting for females, they only ate, drank and slept. Such males followed by single females who stopped giving birth, and the rest began to kill cubs. Mice began to practice homosexuality and cannibalism. As a result, 18 months after the experiment began, the last inhabitant of the mouse civilization died. The most interesting thing is that the experiment was called &#8220;Universe-25&#8221;, because the experiment was conducted 25 times and always ended equally &#8211; tragically.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql o9v6fnle ii04i59q\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">Conclusion<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql o9v6fnle ii04i59q\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">In ideal conditions, when the body does not need to use complex behavioral functions for survival, &#8220;death of the spirit&#8221; occurs &#8211; the degradation that inevitably leads to the &#8220;death of body&#8221;. Thus, general or personal happiness cannot be the goal of life, it is only a byproduct. Only movement and development as processes is the meaning of life.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql o9v6fnle ii04i59q\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">Second experiment<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql o9v6fnle ii04i59q\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">The second experiment was conducted on rats. When rats were immersed in conditions of stress, danger and conflict, they began to get sick and quickly died. When rats were given only positive emotions in the form of a comfortable life devoid of negative components, they also got sick and died, but a little later (the results of the previous experiment are confirmed). It has been scientifically calculated that the ratio of positive and negative emotions should be 3 to 1. In such conditions, a living creature feels comfortable and lives longer.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql o9v6fnle ii04i59q\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">Conclusion<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql o9v6fnle ii04i59q\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">Defeat, pain, loss, setbacks, stress are an integral part of life without which life is impossible. What is sane to watch tomorrow? This means to understand that in addition to good events, there will also be bad ones, and this is necessary for human development. But it is better that the proportions of positive and negative in life should be 3 to 1.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql o9v6fnle ii04i59q\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">The third experiment clearly demonstrated a clear hierarchy in the rat world. 6 rats were placed in a box that had one exit leading into the pool. The pool led to food. As a result, the rats were divided into 4 groups: 2 leaders, 2 known, 1 loner and 1 rejected. Famous people swam for food and gave food to the presenters (after beating), only after the presenters ate, the famous people ate. A lone woman was getting her own food and was able to stand up for herself. The rejected one was offended by everyone, and he ate on garbage. The experiment was conducted 20 times and each time the results were the same &#8211; divided into 4 groups. At the same time, even if all 6 rats leading or loners, known or rejected, were placed in the box, again the division of roles took place.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql o9v6fnle ii04i59q\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">Conclusion<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql o9v6fnle ii04i59q\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">There is always hierarchy in society, human equality is a utopia. If you don&#8217;t like your social role, fight for your place in the sun, including the option of changing the society. Happiness is being comfortable with your social role in life.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql o9v6fnle ii04i59q\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">The fourth experiment has proven that addiction can be controlled. 20 rats were placed in a park, which had various walks, tunnels, wheels, houses, swimming pool, long walkways and lots of food. The other 20 rats were kept in traditional cages. The first and second groups were given 2 drinks: one with ordinary water, and the other with sweetened drug solution. The inhabitants of the park drank only water. Even if one of the rats drank water with a drug, they were not addicted, they still preferred to drink regular water. In turn, the cage rats quickly became addicted to the drug. After a while, the rats changed their places. Caged amusement park rats quickly switched to drugs. And the rats that were placed in the park began to drink regular water more.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql o9v6fnle ii04i59q\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">Conclusion<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql o9v6fnle ii04i59q\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">Addictions come to life from monotony. If your life is bright, interesting, you are always in motion and creative search, then you will not need drugs, alcohol, or other addictions. You will still be euphoria from your own life. Escape from routine and boredom, create an interesting life filled with travel, vivid events and interesting projects. Perhaps this is the meaning of life.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">More data is available in this film.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<h1 class=\"style-scope ytd-watch-metadata\">The Mouse Utopia Experiments | Down the Rabbit Hole<\/h1>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Mouse Utopia Experiments | Down the Rabbit Hole\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NgGLFozNM2o?start=16&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; (Tom: I think people are best studied directly, rather than studying rats to learn about people.
