Ah yes, similar to the rat utopia experiment. Give them all the food and shelter and basic things they need while eliminating all stress (like predators), and everything will be amazing, right?

- kranke155 4y agoDoes rat behaviour always replicate in humans? I thought we were a bit smarter than that.
- kranke155 4y agoI’m sure it won’t be perfect, but the idea that giving people food and shelter is all they need to remove the stress from their lives is funny. People need a lot more than that in my experience. I’m sure we will find other forms of inequality to worry about then.
