UNIVERSE 25 WAS WILD! Today, we explore John B. Calhoun’s infamous experiment that created a utopian world for mice-abundant resources, no predators, and perfect conditions. But this so-called utopia quickly devolved into a dystopian nightmare marked by social collapse, crime, and a breakdown of community bonds. We’ll cover the experiment’s process and its unsettling outcome, revealing how this nightmare society of mice mirrors troubling parallels to urban human societies struggling with overcrowding, isolation, and rising antisocial behavior. Join us as we review the lasting impact of Universe 25 on science and what it warns us about the fragility of civilization…WELCOME TO CAMP 🏕️!
