“monkeys are far far smarter than...”
In the Philippines, I read it is a common practice to catch a monkey by securing a piece of fruit to a piece of rope. The monkey could flee by letting go of the fruit, but won’t.
That’s what I read.
Shows that envy is a trait we can expect to find in lower animals. Great. . So what was that again about “moral behavior?”
What?
You post liberal pabulum and blame me of Marxism.
You post Democrat talking point pseudoscience hucksterism pushing their anticapitalist crap where of course there is unfair pay based on oppression or whatever.
You promote the old Occupy Wall Street crapola.
“In real life that monkey would be watering Kramer from another area.”
It’s not a monkey.
Chimp?
Yeah. A chimpanzee.
Great apes don’t have tails.
There are chimps, orangutans, gorillas and gibbons.
I don’t mean to come in too strong, but Ted Talks are liberal crap dressed up as wise or educated.
Generally it’s smarmy careerists promoting themselves.
we just went thru a round of layoffs... they pick the ones who got paid the most.
Amusing, but not relevant.
Try the experiment with monkey A giving a rock, and getting a piece of cucumber, and monkey B giving a gold coin, and getting a grape. Monkey A will still throw a tantrum. That is what the “Wall Street Protests” mirror.
Nope, Nesmith will hate Tork.
After doing the “experiment” the teachers would ask if it was “fair” that some children got 6 pennies and others only got 2? Then they put the kids in groups to figure out how to “solve” this problem.
They were 3rd or 4th grade or something. Of course all of the kids equate fair to being equal. So they came up with the kids with more pennies would give some to the ones that had fewer pennies.
My one daughter told us her story first and was so proud of the equitable solution that they had arrived at.
My other daughter got home later. She was still pissed about it. “Why should I have to give my pennies to some boy that just goofed around with two other boys and didn't even bother to look! I argued and argued - but it didn't do any good. Everybody else voted to give their extra pennies away!”
The first daughter heard this and said “Hey - you're right! That wasn't “fair”!
I told them that they should ask the teacher to run this experiment every day for the next week and see how it would go. (Neither of them did.)
One of the benefits of living in a liberal area is the kids were exposed to it at school, and then we could educate them at home and give them the alternate, conservative view. Now that they are young adults they are all still conservatives - even surviving college indoctrination.
