The document describes an experiment with eight monkeys placed in a room with a ladder and bananas. When a monkey climbed the ladder, all the monkeys were sprayed with ice water. Over time, the monkeys stopped any from climbing the ladder out of fear of being sprayed. When monkeys were replaced, the new monkeys were attacked by the others for trying to climb, despite none of them having experienced the spraying. This demonstrated how traditions can form and be passed down without understanding the original reason.

4. Once they kept eight
monkeys in a room.

5. In the middle of the room
is a ladder, leading to a
bunch of bananas
hanging from a hook on
the ceiling

6. Each time a monkey
tries to climb the
ladder, all the
monkeys are
sprayed with ice
water, which makes
them miserable.

7. They repeated this
whenever a monkey
tried to climb up the
ladder.

8. Soon enough, whenever a monkey attempts to
climb the ladder, all of the other monkeys, not
wanting to be sprayed on, set upon him and beat
him up.

9. Soon, none of
the eight monkeys
ever attempts to
climb the ladder.

10. One of the original monkeys is
then removed, and a new
monkey is put in the room.

11. Seeing the bananas
and the ladder, he
wonders why none
of the other monkeys
are doing the
obvious.

12. But undaunted, he
immediately
begins to climb
the ladder.

13. All the other
monkeys fall
upon him and
beat him silly
and he has no
idea why.

14. However, he no longer
attempts to climb the
ladder.

15. After
that; secon
d original
monkey is
removed
and
replaced.

16. The newcomer again
attempts to climb the
ladder, but all the
other monkeys
hammer the crap out
of him

17. This includes the
previous new
monkey, who,
grateful that he’s
not on the
receiving end this
time, participates
in the beating
because all the
other monkeys
are doing it

18. However, he
has no idea
why he’s
attacking the
new
monkey.

19. One by one, all the
original monkeys are
replaced. Eight new
monkeys are now in the
room.

20. None of them
have ever been
sprayed by ice
water. None of
them attempt to
climb the ladder.

21. All of them will
enthusiastically
beat up any new
monkey who tries,
without having
any idea why.

22. That is how traditions, religion and ethnic
profiling get established and followed.

23. It would make more sense
if you get your own
understanding to it!

24. Have an
isolated and
informed
perspective
on all
decisions that
govern and
determine the
way you live
your life.
