I'm actually working for a group that's talking about this problem right now. Their site's not up yet (i'm working on it) but here's a sneak peak. They've narrowed it down to Daniel Kristoff's theory of "Genetic Rot", according to the behaviors observed. ● evolution is not perfect, each generation has good genetic mutations and bad genetic mutations ● the bad genetic mututations normally die off and are weeded out of the gene pool ● fighting for resources causes natural eugenics and the betterment of a population by only the best get food and the weak dying off ● the mouse experiment basically shows how communism caused ALL mutations to continue to the next generation both good and bad. ● untill eventually an uncontrolled pattern of defective genes plagued the mice and could no longer be weeded out. This is why mice taken out of the experiment did not recover. ● resource abundance caused individual mice who never should have reproduced to reproduce introducing their defect genes into the gene pool. (most animals get a huge decrease in population after a huge increase due to over-abundance of resources) ● the mice reproduced to a point until every single mouse had bad genes and could no longer save the population ● The mouse experiment mirrors what's happening in our society right now Also, keep in mind this is a very sanitized version of the experiment. Somewhere out there is a complete list of behaviors observed, I can't find it but altasobscura doesn't talk about the controversial findings like "gender roles broke down" and "there was an increase of homosexuality" of the mice. Basically hinting that homosexuality, gender roles, and instinct are all heavily genetic based. And bad genes can often invert or flip instinct.
