I don't think so.

This is going to blow your mind.

So John C. Calhoun built mouse utopia experiments.

So Universe 25 was a box where he took mice, he removed every stressor they could ever experience.

He gave them food, health, safety, everything that you could possibly imagine.

The perfect experience.

And what happened was they started breeding and reproducing and then dumping the babies in the corner and didn't care.

They'd abandoned them.

Whoa.

The mothers just wanted to go have more sex.

It became a hedonistic, selfish, focused society.

Now, what was even weirder was he developed inside of that a culture of what's called the beautiful ones who simply groomed themselves and got approval from the other mice who just wanted to be around them because they were so beautiful.

Hello, Instagram, right?

And then what was even weirder was a few, maybe 5%, 10% became outcasts who couldn't fit into this weird hedonistic subculture.

So they were pushed to the outskirts until they would freak out from stress and go on killing sprees and kill as many other mice as they could until the other mice would put them down.

Wow.

Yes.

So it was a hedonistic, completely destroyed culture inside Universe 25, which looks an awful lot like our culture.

Sounds familiar, right?

Sounds very familiar.
