Miss Scott, every time I see the simultaneous sip, it's beautiful.
John Calhoun in the 1960s, primarily late 60s, conducted a number of psychological and sociological tests.
He primarily was under this particular story, worked with mice.
And he created what would be utopia for mice.
And he had different universes, he called them.
He did all the way up to 27 or 29.
But universe 25 was the one that really stuck with him.
And what does mice utopia look like?
Well, think of being a mouse and what would you want?
Food, endless food, endless ability to do what you want, water, temperature control, a place to hang out, everything you possibly could need.
And if you could imagine there was a town square and all of these layers, you know, multi-story layers that are around the walls inside this massive room-sized mouse contraption that he invented.
I think at one time there were 800 mice, maybe more.
Yeah, I forget exactly in that particular epoch.
But ultimately what happened was...
The mice were happy.
Their fur looked good.
They were doing really well.
And just about, I would say, three to five months in, he started to notice unusual behaviors.
In the town square, as every mouse had to cross to get to food and water, there would be interactions.
And sometimes those interactions would start becoming violent.
