The rat colony

[Who Dares Win]

This period between day 315 and day 600 saw a breakdown in social structure and in normal social behavior. Among the aberrations in behavior were the following: expulsion of young before weaning was complete, wounding of young, inability of dominant males to maintain the defense of their territory and females, aggressive behavior of females, passivity of non-dominant males with increased attacks on each other which were not defended against.

After day 600, the social breakdown continued and the population declined toward extinction. During this period females ceased to reproduce. Their male counterparts withdrew completely, never engaging in courtship or fighting. They ate, drank, slept, and groomed themselves – all solitary pursuits. Sleek, healthy coats and an absence of scars characterized these males. They were dubbed "the beautiful ones." Breeding never resumed and behavior patterns were permanently changed.


The conclusions drawn from this experiment were that when all available space is taken and all social roles filled, competition and the stresses experienced by the individuals will result in a total breakdown in complex social behaviors, ultimately resulting in the demise of the population.



Does it remind you of anything?

Link to the full article? More context would be cool.
Sounds congruent with human relationship behaviour yes

It was mentioned from roissy in his blog so I decided to learn the whole story.

This is VERY important too. I know you did not bold this, but this is ALSO the product of feminism. Women ‘being empowered’ means that they spend more time at work and less time at home with their kids, meaning that now the kids are forced to go to a daycare center or forced to go to school earlier. This means that kids are taught from an early age to rely on the state instead of their families, which is how they enslave the masses. This is the breakdown of the nuclear family. Not to mention that now those elitists behind this **** can raise the prices of everything now that the other half of the population was working. Plus, the government was able to tax said half too so they were okay with it since they made more money too. And when the Rockefeller Foundation and CIA funded this **** (particularly the second time around), they knew exactly what they were doing. They were trying to keep people under their control. That is why they are trying to destroy the middle class, it’s easier to control people without one. Unfortunately, they don’t realize (or don’t care rather) that a strong middle class is what STABILIZES society. Throughout history, the middle class is what kept everyone else in check, and straining them and pressuring them will cause instability and thus collapse.

Yes, population decline and thus extinction can occur from all of this. Why would they want this though? Because the smaller the population, the easier it is to control people. Funny thing is, they love having this sense of control over everything. And because of that, they have no control over themselves. As Pook said, they are a slave to their passion. And THEY are controlled because of their desires.

By 2050, there will be more older people than younger children. This isn't a coincidence.
Certain practices are being shoved down peoples' throats. This includes feminism and mgtow among others. Not to mention the rise of sex bots.
People joke about how the population needs to be controlled but it's already been happening.

Clearly an important point too, unbelieable how all this matches the rat colony and the modern world.

This is another one. It explains things better. It wasn’t so much the overcrowding, the structure was built for 3840 mice while it peaked at only 2200. The reason for the demise of the rats is because of EXCSSIVE SOCIAL INTERACTION. As in forced and unwanted social interaction. Yes, I’m talking about liberals forcing social interaction down the throats of others.

When the community becomes that crowded, social interaction becomes extremely impersonal, and having to cater to everyone’s needs is just impossible. That’s why it started to make the mice go insane. The unwanted social interaction. They ‘need some space’, so to speak. They found that an increasing amount of mice became bisexual, then homosexual, and eventually asexual. This sounds familiarly liberal too!

But humans are smarter than rats though. We are more conscious of ourselves and our actions. Hillary didn’t get elected for one thing, the backlash was way too strong. And now the tides are beginning to turn again. This is because humans are too smart to let things get to that point of instability. We wouldn’t let it evolve that fast.

Great contribution, agree on the excessive social interactions, better yet forced social interactions.

The fact of being forced to deal with people I want nothing to do, makes me nervous and aggressive many times, wheter is meeting old slow people on the stairs or driving.

On the other side finding myself in a room full of people that I knew would have been there, makes no problem at all.

Regarding the main article, the scientist also talks about social roles, when there are more individuals than social roles available that process we talked about, gets even faster.

This honestly reminds me of the book ‘1984’ by George Orwell

Very interesting articles. Hard to deny the parallel's.

I think one must consider "social media" as a vehicle that leads to Excessive Social Interaction and the demise of society. Maybe someday FaKebook/Instagram will be sued and warning labels applied much like what was done to the tobacco industry.

hardly, remember that little backslash about facebook selling people info? a lot of people didn't know they did that, makes you think are really that dumb? ever since facebook was created was to gather and sell info on people, that was the whole point, you really think they have that much money from ads alone? e-mails do the same thing, gather info to sell, they are "free" for a reason.

only thing that could chance is if people stoped to care about random people, they facebook have around 20-60 people, not over 1k just sell a fake image of being busy and happy, then maybe instagram and facebook would go away
