It is obvious that today’s people have become the product of weird dogmatic practices without pausing for a moment to scrutinize why things are the way they are. We strictly follow and adhere to principles pertaining to traditions, religion, politics and other systems blindly because “that is the norm.”
Although somewhat contested, it is believed that Stephenson, G. R. in 1967 contacted an experiment to point out the flaw of this human’s disposition.
Five monkeys were put in a room and in the middle of the room was a ladder, leading to a bunch of bananas hanging from a hook on the ceiling.
Each time a monkey tried to climb the ladder; all the monkeys were sprayed with iced water, which made them miserable.
Soon enough, whenever a monkey attempted to climb the ladder, all of the monkeys, not wanting to be sprayed, set upon and beat him up. Soon, none of the five monkeys ever attempted to climb the ladder.
One of the original monkeys was removed, and a new monkey was put in the room. Seeing the bananas and the ladder, he wondered why none of the other monkeys were doing the obvious. But undaunted, he immediately began to climb the ladder.
All the other monkeys jumped on him and beat the hell out of him. He had no idea why he was being beaten. However, he no longer attempted to climb the ladder.
