A Scientific Experiment That Will Leave You Thinking

The Experiment

Scientists put five monkeys inside a cage and in the center of the cage they put a ladder with bananas on the top.

Each time a monkey climbed the ladder to get a banana, the researchers soaked other monkeys with cold water.

Eventually, each time a monkey climbed the ladder, the rest of the monkeys beat up the one on the ladder.

Eventually, no monkey dared to climb the ladder in spite of the temptations.

Researchers then substituted one of the monkeys. The new monkey went straight to the ladder but was beaten up by the other monkeys immediately. After being beaten several times, new monkey gave up climbing the ladder never knew the reason for the aggression from the rest of the monkeys.

Scientists then substituted the second monkey and the same result. First substituted monkey participated in the beating of the second monkey. A third monkey was substituted and the same occurred. Then fourth and fifth monkeys were replaced with the beating repeated after each replacement.

At the end of the experiment, scientists had 5 monkeys in the cage, neither of the monkeys received cold shower but continued to beat up any monkey who tried to climb the ladder.

If the monkeys could talk, it would be interesting to ask them why they would beat up anyone attempting to climb the ladder. Their answer most likely would be: “I don’t really know, but everyone is doing it.”

Feel free to share this article with others as they also might be doing something just because everyone else is doing it.

The moral of the story:

“Don’t Just Blindly Follow The Crowd!’
