Reason often only goes so far. Many can no longer achieve understanding. They are too biased in blinding worlds. Change means uncertainty. Uncertainty causes fear. So we avoid uncertainty and thus change.
In 1950, ethologist John Calhoun conducted experiments on the effects of overpopulation on the behavior of social animals (mice). All the mice ended up dead, no matter how many times Calhoun repeated the experiment.
What has me thinking is the similarities of Phase C of the experiments with our current world situation:
Could total societal collapse mean the end of us?
Or can pandemics and wars shield us from it?
Note: If you approach the object slowly and keep calm, it will be less stressed. Keep your head or hands just above the object. Maybe it will let you go deeper.

Vernunft hat oft nur eine geringe Reichweite. Einsicht ist für viele nicht mehr erreichbar. Zu befangen sind sie in verblendenden Welten. Veränderung bedeutet Unsicherheit. Unsicherheit macht Angst. Also meiden wir die Unsicherheit und damit die Veränderung.
1950 führte der Ethologe John Calhoun Experimente zu den Auswirkungen von Überbevölkerung auf das Verhalten sozialer Tiere (Mäuse) durch. Egal wie oft Calhoun das Experiment wiederholte, am Ende waren alle Mäuse tot.
Was mich nachdenklich stimmt ist die Übereinstimmungen der Phase C der Experimente mit unserer heutigen Weltsituation:
Könnte der totale soziale Verfall unser Ende bedeuten?
Oder können uns Pandemien und Kriege davor schützen?
Hinweis: Wenn Sie sich dem Objekt langsam nähern und sich ruhig verhalten, dann ist es weniger gestresst. Halten
