Five Monkeys and the Ladder

Have you ever wondered why people do things for no good reason? Ever looked around and wondered how habits and obscure social norms formed?

Or how an entire country was socially conditioned to execute its own people, or how racism could spread like a plague? 

Maybe you’ve always wondered how free speech became limited, or how dictators were able to rule over mute populations for centuries?

This famous experiment by Harry Harlow and his associates at the Primate Laboratory of the University of Wisconsin gives profound insight to understand our human condition through the use of monkeys. 

There have been multiple explanations published claiming that the study explains the condition of hampering free speech, as well as the regulation and social conditioning of the masses.

It’s how dictators rise and fascism spreads.
