The Mouse Utopia Experiment That Turned Into An Apocalypse

It's terrible research. Universe 25—one of the most terrible studies in the history of science, in which scientists tried to understand human civilization based on experiments on a colony of rats. The idea for this Universe 25 came from American scientist John Calhoun. He created an "ideal world" where rats would live and breed. To put it better, Calhoun created a special environment called Idur's Paradise, where there was more than enough food, water, and shelter. In the beginning, he kept four pairs of rats there, which started breeding in a short time in a suitable environment, and that too at a very fast pace. Surprisingly, after only 315 days of keeping the rats in that paradise, the rate of reproduction decreases. When the number of rats reached 600, there were two breeds of good and "bad" rats. Since then, the weaker rats have been attacked, and many of the male rats have had a psychotic breakdown. The fruit of being in the rat paradise fell on women in a different way. Women turn away from self-defense and become aggressive towards their children. This aggression gradually increases among the female rats. As a result, the birth rate decreases and the death rate increases. Among men, a new breed of rats emerged, the "beautiful rats," who refused to breed with women and "fight" for space. All they care about is food and sleep. Once upon a time, beautiful men and aggressive women were the majority. According to Calhoun, there were two stages of death. The first death and the second death—the end is the meaninglessness of life! That is, lack of desire to procreate, reluctance to give birth and raise children, and not moving forward to create your own position in society. Over time, the mortality rate in baby rats reaches 100%, and the progeny is reduced to zero. At-risk rats develop homozygosity and start eating themselves. "Homosexuality-Cannibalism" The number of these deformed brains was increasing day by day, although there was no shortage of food—there was no shortage of animals of the opposite sex. The last mice were born two years after the start of the study. By 1973, the last rat in the Universe 25 project had died. John Calhoun repeated this experiment twenty-five more times, and all the tests gave the same result. Calhoun's scientific work reflected the decline of civil society and civilization and provided important insights into urban life. We see the same thing in the world today. On the one hand, there is a swarm of weak, feminine men with no significant personal skills or self-defense, and on the other hand, aggressive, masculine women with excessively bad temper and far from natural motherhood-femininity. On the one hand, there is the global LGBT free-sex movement and the sharp rise of consumerism, and on the other, the rise of people who do not want to marry, raise children, and give birth. That is, the rise of Western ideology or Western philosophy, such as antinatalism, the LGBTQ movement, the free sex movement, feminism, liberalism, the gender fluidity concept, etc., around the world is the last nail in the coffin of the current broken world system. Universe 25: The moral of the story is The Universe 25 experiment suggests that overpopulation and social breakdown could lead to humanity’s decline. As seen in the mice, excessive density caused aggression, isolation, and reproductive failure. If applied to humans, it warns of potential societal collapse due to overcrowding, loss of social bonds, and declining mental health, emphasizing the need for sustainable urban planning and community well-being.
