Santiago: If I put the women in charge and give them traditionally masculine roles, the men will get angry and fight!
The men: We chillin'.
Oh one man got angry alright, even though he came up with the idea himself
"Finally, a break"
A woman who knows more about sailing then me taking charge? I'm good this is fine.
@@michaell4187that sounds like a dream no lie
Masculine you mean male?
bro wanted a sex and violence boat but what he got was a friendship and group therapy boat lmao
the best part is he tried to pick women who were married and I mean dont you think if they actively had a spouse that'd make them less likely to like
@@cubsfanman-nx6pgI know right? Like if he wanted the violence and sex get people who are single. Especially teens who are into both lol I guess he thought human nature would dictate they would all be that way
It’s like the school system but reversed

The truest form of projection
Poor baby, he thought every man is like him :D
yep
What did homedude think was going to happen if his experiment worked? "Oh, yes, I tricked all these people to come on a raft with me for 100 days under false pretenses, and half of them murdered and violated the other half, just like I planned. Where's my award?"
And that's even without considering that he himself willingly got onto a murder raft that he actively believed and attempted to make into a murder raft.
also does he think that he wouldnt also be on the list of murder targets if they did?
like "whup, no no no you're not allowed to kill ME thats against the rules!" while out at international waters with like no accountability in the moment lol
Yeah i thought that too, like a typical "Oh no, it worked!"
@@lonelystarslibrary9326 Ah, that classic meme (if I could only post a pic here):
"I'm a genius! ...oh no!"
i think he thought he'd be the leader of the murdering and violating, which imo i what he REALLY wanted lol. he loved the false history of dudes murdering other dudes and violating women whenever they wanted, and wanted to be the alpha in it. but unfortunately for him, human nature and social evolution came from and IS pack bonding
He would be the first one to disappear from the raft
I find it rather ironic how Santiago, who was so obsessed with getting results, was completely blind to the actual results the study yielded, which are actually pretty profound. All of these people were from completely different backgrounds, different culture, and yet, given the chance, they were all able to form strong connections and experienced incredible self discovery. How is this experience anything but an intense reminder of how powerful relationships truly are? How are these results a failure? Santiago was just so occupied with his proving his hypothesis that he forgot that disproving your hypothesis is just as meaningful in science, completely missing the incredibly moving results his research ultimately yielded despite his interference
He made the biggest mistake that scientists are not supposed to make. He came to a conclusion first, then tried to find evidence to support what he already believed.
@@jupitersnoot4915 dude switched up hypothesis and conclusion
@@almerosepwanzaky6342 lol, that's what we actually did in our research. We were relieved that we're right or else we gonna do the whole project again. xd
It's ironic that he specifically hired women who were professionally trained at the tasks needed in order to make the men feel threatened but the only man who ended up feeling threatened was him
Some projection indeed
@@PineappleTom71 Fr lol
Dudes didn’t feel threatened at all. They’re just like “ok, cool! I’m going fishing!”
He did the whole experiment hoping he wasn't the only one with his negative feelings towards his female scientist colleagues, and wound up scientifically proving that he is indeed the only one there with those thoughts. Pretty much proved that he was the monkey, and not them. Though I doubt even monkeys would react the way he would've thought.
And that the idea was for people to turn feral with anger and go crazy, but only he was mad...
I'm surprised that Santigo, an educated man, somehow forgot that humans have spent centuries crossing the ocean on voyages that lasted months, in even more cramped conditions than in this experiment, with alcohol present, and still managed to not murder each other. He could have just read a couple history books and saved himself years of effort.
But, that would require having a realistic perception of humanity and violence and I don't think Santiago had that.
Right lol? I'm sorry this guy was a total idiot.
Ikr, guy was a idiot
I mean, yeah some murders happened for sure, especially in pirate ships in 1800 era, but it's not like people were going to go full caveman mode if they spent months together in a ship
History books don't talk about sex.
I think making the raft so small and existence so communal was probably one of the main reasons why his experiment failed. Not that it would have devolved into what he was hoping for anyway, but making it easier to have privacy and where secrets could grow _may_ have added some tension or spite amongst the group. But mostly it's just hilarious how he attempted to get everyone to hate each other and he only succeeded in making them all hate him.
Huh, no wonder americans hate one another so much.
If it was that easy reality tv producers wouldn't need to meddle and make thing up to create drama.
His experiment failed because it was stupid because he was stupid. People have been traveling on boats for thousands of years. He picked intelligent people with management experience for the raft and they each had different clearly defined responsibilities. If he picked stubborn people and appointed 3 of them to be captian then there would have been a power struggle.
Or at least were told as such 😅
no it would've turned out completely differently like he'd wanted, like you said it was communal, even their time to destress themselves in bed, was with other people, they were never actually alone, they never had the ability to atomize themselves from the group, because in the physical reality they were always connected to the group and it wasn't deniable, you cannot deny that on a long voyage with set food everyone MUST work together to ensure survival happens, they had to work together, Santiago though gave himself a lot of time to be away from the group and stew in his own thoughts, all the while accepting to himself that he was never a part of the group, he felt an outsider which is why he became so paranoid I'd guess.
I think the funniest thing about all of this is the fact that he gave them exactly what they needed in order to 100% bond as a team and develop a sense of loyalty between them: a common enemy.
The part where Santiago is trying to start drama with the crew and ends up with a group therapy session where everyone is apologizing to everyone else is so funny. This experiment could be a sitcom with how bad every plan Santiago had backfired.
I was thinking the same or for a movie too. I could not stop laughing at the part where Santiago wanted to do the experiment over again by himself staring at the ocean for 100 days😂😂
Everything he did just proved him more and more wrong, showing how human nature is actually to be kind and take care of each other, which is equally heartwarming and hilarious.
it reminds me of the real world because it ALWAYS ends with sex. always, no matter what it ends up in sex so of course that raft would end up being nothing but sex by the end of it. humans man, humans. also survivor with the planting of betrayal ideas.
@@maggiedk re
@@maggiedk Well, I'd imagine if they had no idea where they are, limited food, little experience in sailing and whatnot they might have become violent, selfish or something else.
Not to defend Santiago or say he was not an idiot though.
local mad scientist ruined by the power of friendship and good vibes
literal scooby gang scenario
sounds like a generic plot for a kids show and that's what makes this even funnier
Sounds like some my little pony episode 😂
The power of friendship is real boys
Well, if you're a scientist, you really have to go above and beyond to get...attention, usually.
He unintentionally proved the difference between having a support system and not having one, the crew got friends and a life changing experience, he got crazy
He always was.
this reminded me of a conversation i had with my mom once, i asked her "mom, why our grand parents have so many children?" and she answered "back in the day, we didnt have a tv" and the conversation died there.

@@Celxorth I didn’t understand this but it made me laugh?
@@RoseDxoggo My best guess is he’s referring to the youtuber pamtri, who uses a robotic voice line that says “Santiago,” & puts it randomly in his videos. His content is abstract & meant to come off creepy at times, otherwise it’s just silly.
Santiago is literally that one guy in the corner at a party meme. "They don't know I'm actually a genius..."
You could make a pretty eery horror game about this, You are just vibing with the characters and then the experimenter is like “Do you enjoy hurting people?”
Ironically, I think without reaching in terms of plausibility, it wouldn’t be that scary for the same reason this wasn’t scary. Not only do you outnumber the researcher, but you are forming a strong bond with these people and would be able to rely on them for safety and security. You’d have to add unrealistic elements like make the researcher capable of killing everyone themself, introducing artificial distrust, etc.
I like this idea for an eerie game. Still, I think it would be better as a novel-esque RPG.
He picked people who's whole careers depend on positive social interaction and then expected them to be antisocial. And the man considered himself a genius lol..
that a good point! maybe if he selected way more introverted people, forced them to live in that tiny cabin, maybe that could have added some toxicity. But let’s be real humans are generally chill as long as basic needs are met.
Yea, however, his point was that society would devolve. So the more positive and social the more horrendous the "fallout" would have been if it did.
@@craigquann joker posits that too and is proven wrong many times. The real world proves it wrong. The only people scared of food shortages or theft are people willing to steal or not share.

🙉🙈🙊
also by advertising the experiment as being about bringing about world peace, he basically filtered out the people who were most likely to commit violent acts
I love when he tries to come up with different words for sex
"Intermingling"
"The opposite of violence"
But then he just says "The Sex Raft"
Offspring creation
Intense cuddling
Kithfing! And rapidly mangling
Well he is quoting so i guess its ok?
Gettin freaky on a friday night yeah!
(Sorry couldnt resist)
The mental image I have of this is Santiago absolutely fuming and loosing it, stomping his feet like a cartoon character while everybody else is like “ayo, chill my dude, I’t all good” and it’s glorious.
They are airing a reality show rn based on this experiment called "Survive the Raft", and they frequently bring up the fact that Santiago hoped the crew would get along but that it completely failed and they fought instead. It also frequently shows text from his writings after each ad break as though they are this prophetic important thing and it honestly cracks me up knowing what actually happened
That show isnt really an experiment tho, it’s a game show and it’s clearly not based on anything.
I read the description, it’s 9 americans who, if they can work together, win money.
The only thing in common with this experiment is a raft and people on it.
So an edgy researcher tried to engineer social decline on an isolated raft and gets bullied instead. This sounds like a Key and Peele skit.
Yk i was thinking it had those types of comedic elements but. I couldn't think of Key and Peele till you said it lol
I can kind of see it as something that the crews from Peep Show or It's Always Sunny would stumble into inadvertently. In the former case it would definitely be Superhans' doing, and the latter would simply happen if Dennis tried to invoke "The Implication" with Dee anywhere near.
They killed him with the power of friendship
When he got to the part about the researcher reading the questions out I was just like "I would watch this sitcom" lmao
He's like a third-rate B-movie horror villain when everyone else is living in the real world
Seems a bit high brow for Key and Peele. Could see it being an Always Sunny episode like someone else mentioned. The guy is literally Dennis. He thinks he's this genius manipulator but really he's just an ass who no one likes.
Santiago: “This is to create world peace.”
**creates peace**
Santiago: 😐

@@charlesdemers1197 it’s a meme about supposed empathetic people “sensing” very obvious emotions. Like she was clearly very mad and threw the paper at him, anyone could tell she didn’t like him, but he acted like he was so observant for recognizing her anger towards him so it’s kinda funny.
Santiago seems to be someone who was aware enough to see his own flaws, but instead of improving them, he projected them on everyone. You get a snapshot of his character from the choices he made. Like he assumed giving women important jobs will upset the men, because he was sexist. He thought having a priest there would make the men more aggressive, which says he was likely an edgy atheist. He also outed himself as a city boy with no experience hunting by his overblown reaction to the shark incident. He reminds me of a guy I knew in college.
But at the same time, it seems he was shitty researcher. Every psychologist, drill sgt. or a school teacher worth their salt would have told him that having a common enemy would unite the group. And that having clearly established roles, hierarchy would release the tensions instead of creating them.
"What's the experiment's about?"
Santiago: "It's about world peace."
He called it.
Santiago was what happens when a potential cult leader doesn't have enough charisma to actually start a cult.
🤣
Aww poor guy. 🤣🤣🤣
When you spent to much points on stats that make sense:
Pfft
Big brother
The idea that Santiago planned them all to go crazy and kill each other and go at it like rabbits, and that in the end the only person they wanted to kill was HIM because he was a weird violent ass is the funniest thing I've ever heard
It wasn't even those things. The breaking point was when he got into a physical fight so he could drive them into a storm and potentially kill them.

"If only they had killed each other, my paper would have been perfect."
“Santiago probably” 😂😂😂
Ree he-he-he-he!
This has to be the most (unintentionally) wholesome experiment ever done. All I learned is that, in a vacuum, humans have more of a capacity to love, than to hate.
I love how Wenigoon has so many different types of horror on his channel yet the video that I consider my absolute favorite and keep coming back to is just "boat friends"
Santiago: "Alright this experiment is for world peace"
People: *make peace and friends with each other *
Santiago: "Listen here you little shits-"
LMAO LITERALLY
this is NOT how you are suppose to play the game
Its proof that by nature people like each other, its people in power that try to divide us
He really didn't get what actually causes violence. Jealousy and feelings of being cheated. If you were to say give some crew members more rights than others or intentionally allow bullying of some people by others such as the college prison experiment, then you'd see violence. But just people standing around together will get along because we are social creatures. He really wasn't much of a psychologist if he didn't get that.

31:03 😂 I love how this maladjusted mad mans evil plans were foiled by this group of professional, well adjusted, emotionally healthy adults, who were just genuinely nice decent people 🤣
Santiago was a textbook narcissist. Especially the fact that the abuse survivor felt his behaviour was familiar. Just...totally disconnected from reality, thinking he's the shit and that he knows everything. He knows that if *he* were put in this situation, he would devolve (as he proved) and therefore everyone else would/should act that way. Literally couldn't handle the reality that he was wrong, and later resorted to other means of getting attention: Pouting. Unfortunately, I have a few family members who act the same way. I would avoid them completely if they weren't financing me through school.

This just proved one thing, that even in the ocean, without fresh food or entertainment, you cant escape the guy that will being his guitar everywhere
A group of men and women in a small space at sea for a long time? That's literally a modern nuclear submarine, and those aren't exactly known for sex or for violence within the crew

44:35 When I heard that question, "Is there anyone that you would want to kill on this boat?", I thought that most would respond "N/A". The actual answer was even more hilarious!
in a way, Santiago proved his point...however he was the one that fell victim to his hypothesis.
what he failed to consider in his "experiment" and showed very little self awareness on his part, is that he chose people who where confident, knew themselves and had empathy for others. what he needed for his "plan" to work was insecure, fake, vain, and self absorbed people. but, he was the only one on the bot who was insecure, fake, vain, and self absorbed, so he is the only one who fell victim to become feral.

@@bombomos yea..most probably true.. but I am sure uder that superficial monotony lies a lot more.
So basically this guy created a literal tribal paradise on a gorgeous raft in the middle of a beautiful ocean full of fish, populated it with interesting people who had a variety of skills and professions, and made sure by the setup of the experiment that people would interact with each other, share stories and songs and meals and work... and expected them to randomly start murdering each other? Um... I'm thinking that says more about Santiago's mindset and view of humanity, than anyone else's.
The idiot's experiment would've probably gone more according to plan if he choose only people who had criminal backgrounds, but I think how it really would've worked out is everyone would distress on a healthy afternoon of "accidenting" him off the raft even in that scenario.
@@Ryanowning but that would simply go against the point of the experiment, as you'd be involving people who are psychologically different from the average human being, when in reality he was looking for the average human being to resort to animalistic tendencies when put in that situation.

im just imagining like chef skinner reading the letter 😭😭
@@soupguy5243 THIS EXACTLY YES
especially with how seriously he took it-
The way that Santiago still tried to deny his actions when everyone on that raft knew his true character, get that hag out of here
I guess Santiago expected The Lord of the Flies, when even when a Lord of the Flies situation did happen (bunch of kids got stranded on an island), the kids actually just got along (like on the Acali Raft).
Ironically this experiment proved the kind and friendly nature of humans lol
Only because the experiment inherently selected against violent bad natured people by presenting it as a solution for world peace
IKR he could've just documented the experiment professionally and then took the results and made quite allot of interesting information out of it. For example His constant control and micromanagement and refusal to let people do their jobs was probably an extremely unifying force on the boat. Dude was forcing a hypothesis instead of documenting the results of his experiment.
That’s what I thought too, everyone here are different that it proves how social and dependent people are on each other. If he really wanted his project to work, he should’ve gotten actual horrible people
I’m wondering if perhaps the crew were reading Santiago’s diary entries and then continued on. xD
@@officerspider7996 Its always sunny: The gang joins a raft experiment
This whole thing reads almost like a kids book, themed around how being nice and kind to your peers is important. Santiago sounds like a Disney Villan.
That's exactly what I thought. Only part of the story that is messing is Santiago admiting his wrongs and becoming friends with everyone.
Lord of the Flies but the good ending.
I recently have been rewatching south park and this sounds like something Cartman would do , especially at the part where Santiago went people of the similar races to start getting it on.
@@foehammerent2405 the event Lord of the Flies is based on was already Lord of the Flies but the good ending
@@Gloomdrake Thank fucking Christ, Because generally, if a muse isn't better, is worse, and I don't know how much worse that story could really get
If I ever feel like humanity is cruel and hopeless, I'll think back on this. Some dude put a bunch of people on a boat so they would kill and r-word each other, but instead, they all became life-long best friends.
The whole plan to kill him was like "Murder in the Orient Express"
Dude literally forgot that humans have sailed the ocean for centuries in voyages that took whole months of their lives with little to no amenities but song and drink.
He's just like. Nope. THE SEA IS MADE FOR ORGY AND BLOOD.
i guess he assumed that because most sailors traditionally have not been women, a coed presence on the craft would cause disaster. if anything his experiment just proves that sexism in sailor gender diversity has always been completely unfounded.
@@Ariel_emerald women may not have crewed ships before, but they sure as hell have been passengers. Either way his thesis was dumb.
@@Ariel_emerald also, male pirates/sailors actually used to get 'married' (idk if it can be called a marriage but they performed commitment ceremonies) to each other on their voyages simetimes. waaaaaay before being gay was an accepted thing anywhere else in the western world.
so it's not like there was no romance or sex at all lmao some of it just didn't involve women.
Lol
@@Ariel_emerald There is even fairly well documented clear cut real life experience on this factor too. Look into prostitution aboard royal navy ships in the 18 and 19th century. Some captains turned a blind eye to prostitutes being aboard for the duration of the journey, some turned a blind eye to prostitutes being aboard in port, and some strictly banned them. It turns out that all three approaches led to functional crews.
It's less well documented but civilian vessels would certainly have taken a broad range of approaches over the millennia as well. If his hypothesis was correct, ships would routinely come back to port with the bulk of their crews murdered and nobody would be batting an eye about it. That would just be the way things are and we would think the concept of ships' crews not routinely murdering each other to be utterly bizarre.

@@notnullnotvoid lmao. haha I guess this proves Lelouch's plan is realistic.
@@hunteraltman4762 the whole thing about the companies not taking responsibility for side effects is definitely quite concerning
Love that Santiago got female volunteers to do all the important jobs in order to make the men feel undermined but then gets undermined by the women who know how to sail and he just throws a fit.
I know I was thinking the whole time "why didn't he just use people that had absolutely no clue how to operate an effing boat?" I know very morbid question!
@@Friendly_Neigborhood_Astolfo that would be a more morbid yet interesting experiment. What if 10 or so people who have little to no knowledge of sailing a boat gets to be set off to the sea, nor have leadership skills. He expects Lord of the Flies but instead got Treasure Island XD
It’s almost like mysoginist assholes assume all other guys are like them
Talk about projection, right?
@@Friendly_Neigborhood_Astolfoor alternatively he could’ve gone with 10 perverts
I think the best thing about this experiment was that in trying to prove how violent and animalistic humans are, Santiago only proved how good and social humans can be, and how they can form friendships even through hardship and when we’re left alone, we only seek connection.
the "experiment": a nice holiday with some new friends and one weird freak who wont leave them alone
This video becomes ten thousand times funnier if you just imagine Santiago sitting in a lawn chair on a full suit while muttering "any time" to himself the whole time
Oh my god… that does sound hilarious
Angry lawn chair boomer of the sea, don’t forgot the sunglasses and budlight
Like a man that is stranded on a beach losing his mind 😂 “Any time… Any time now… 👹”
All the while everyone is just laughing chatting and getting along singing songs and dancing with each other
*any time now
Expressed goal: world peace
Secret goal: primal violence
Result: world peace
Nailed it
Experiment failed successfully
Sooooo for us to eventually reach World peace is to have 1 scientist that will carry the weight of the brunt of the hatred of every other person in the world for 100 days.....this means that this New-Santiago-like-scientist will actually become the savior of humankind thus an ultimate hero,
Nice story arc.. i think there is a movie script hiding in (t)here.
@@wallyslow every *hero* needs a _Villain_ , and our villain as a collective shall be santiago!
Note: i said Hero & Villain and not Protagonist & Antagonist *intentionally* , because a hero *has* to be the good guy, whereas a protagonist can be the bad guy
Santiago: *confused screaming*
The world need santiago.
my guy was so sure people would go insane as if people didn't travel on ships across the ocean all the time
As a person fascinated with science and psychology, it frustrates me to no end that Santiago is unable to comprehend that results that don’t align with the hypothesis are not bad or wrong and can still provide incredibly valuable insight. Unexpected results are still results and are still useful. I think this study is a testament of the beauty of human relationships and further exemplifies that we are an incredibly social species (regardless of the poor construction and ethical violations resulting in very insufficient empirical results with basically no generalizability). The dichotomy of Santiago frantically scribbling his “findings” into his notebook like a madman, convinced everyone on ship is about to violently attack each other, while people are working through trauma with each other and gaining new positive perspectives on life is just so funny. The entire story feels like it’s fiction, but the fact it’s real makes it all the more hilarious. Thank you for sharing, Wendigoon :)
Just told my wife about this story, and I loved the little exchange:
"Wait, if he's on the boat observing, doesn't that interfere with the experiment?"
"Oh, that is the least of the problems with this experiment..."
I shared this video with a few of my colleagues (I work in academia) and a few of my non-work friends and I made a couple of lil anecdotal observations: 1) all the academics, without fail, made some comment along the lines of 'who the hell granted ethics for this?', and 2) all of them *also* made a comment about the same thing as your wife. None of my non-academic friends did
Its not surprising, really. But i found it a bit funny that anyone who works closely with scientific research kinda has an extra layer of 'wait what' to the whole thing lol
@@cyber_rachel7427 Backing up your point, my wife is a nurse, and most of her education was planted firmly in the sciences.
@@cyber_rachel7427It’s obvious any experiment no matter social, biochemical, physical, etc should be held in a contained environment with no variables unaccounted for. If Santiago counted himself as a variable in the experiment then it’d be valid, but it seems that wasn’t his intention. So yeah, the guy was just a lunatic with no real ethics or understanding of protocol.
@@cyber_rachel7427 i thought the same. The moment you have the guy involved you already fucking up the experiment. Also the fact that monkeys and humans have different instincts and different societies, so like, how would you apply the same experiment in humans?
lol ikr. Science was not taken into account in this experiment, and Santiago might as well just be apart of the experiment as well, but if he's apart of the experiment, it taints everything and the most you can get out of it is how narcists interact when put into a position of power over others.
The guy basically ruined his own experiment by uniting everyone against him but then proved his own theories correct by becoming violent himself
Maybe he was just projecting his own violent tendencies on others
Facts
"Fine, I'll do it myself"
Santiago is literally a ripoff doofenshmirtz, but then again doofenshmirtz wants to socialize in the first place
@@justaneditygangstar Please that’s insulting to doofensmirtz. Santiago is a bad rip off Freud
this doesn't prove that people will go mad in confinement. it proves they'll go mad under pressure and if pushed hard enough
Ironic that he used world peace as a cover up and it ended in them all peacefully enjoying eachothers time
This experiment only taught me that world peace can only be achieved if there’s a 50-year-old man staring at you with a notepad. And/or a common enemy whatever comes first.
10/10 comment
Honestly yeah
You just described the realistic image of a Boss/Manager.
it's the phenomenon of two very different people managing to get along in school because they both despise a teacher. beautiful.
If I tell you people exactly how accurate y’all’s comments are, I would probably lose my job and/or bank account
The guy completely missed the obvious fact that a bunch of random animals jammed into a cage are socially completely unlike a group of humans who voluntarily get on to a small but reasonably comfortable boat.
Plot twist, human beings are evolved to be more social then the species of monkey he was going off, who would have thought a species that evolved in small groups working together in trying times and typically outcasting those who don’t cooperate and be kind to others, which had spent most of its history in this state, would mostly have individuals who get along in trying times where a small group needs to cooperate? This guy was amusingly out of touch with his own kind
we didn't evolve from monkeys or apes for that matter. that's just effing stupid....
So we need a control group of completely random people chosen against their will.
@delilah mae are you sure there's evidence enough where using the scientific method there could be no other possibilities or conclusions or explanations that maybe even has less leaps of logic needed to hold it's theory up for whoever wants to have a look for themselves...? after all, it seems most people forget how evolution itself is just another yet to be proven theory , like most of our modern day science...
@@PopcornMax179 To create a situation actually comparable to the monkey jammed in a cage, yes. And they'd need to be stuffed into a prison cell instead of on a boat.
Actually, we HAVE that situation, in real prisons, except we do our damnedest to keep them gender segregated since we know what happens when we don't. We get similar problems when we do, but usually not as badly. And yes, we get a lot of violence, although it's not clear if we're getting a lot of violence because we're stuffing (not entirely random) people into cages or because the people we stuff into these cages are disproportionately those already likely to use violence, since having already used violence to get your way is one of the things we'll stuff you in the cage for.
It also occurs to me that many monkey species are a LOT more violent than humans are to begin with. If you compare the amount of violence that the group leaders among chimps carry out to the amount of violence that leaders of small groups of humans carry out, chimps are WAY more violent than most humans. For at least the last 50 000 years, since modern linguistic capabilities arose in humans, the kind of violence that makes a chimp the absolute master of the band of chimps has, among humans, been an excellent way to get murdered in your sleep by a small group of betas who are angry at how you treat them and theirs, and know how to walk quietly while carrying large rocks.
Ngl I lost my shit at picturing Santiago drifting across the ocean staring down into the abyss. Just gave off some hilariously depressed vibes.
Being 30 minutes in, I’m enjoying that Santiago is becoming what he expected everyone else to turn into.
He probably ruined his own experiment by becoming their common enemy. Having shit jobs have taught me that nothing bands people together more than someone everyone hates.
Spite is indeed a very powerful motivator
So true.
This is so true. I had to train a big group of different people that had some real personalities in the group that immediately we’re trouble to getting things done. I spent the next 4 months totally going against how I wanted to be and acted like a fucking dick from the start. They all gelled over hating me to the point that after things were done and I didn’t have to be a dick anymore a few of them were mind blown I wasn’t an asshole and took a while to believe it and even to this day a small handful just straight up still don’t like me (but it’s all gravy to me at this point). Pretty interesting to discuss it w them (those that were cool w me after) to see things from their POV and how some things bonded them and others didn’t VS what I expected. Cool experience getting to act like a secret asshole for a while then getting to go back to being chill because it was exhausting being a dick.
Hate is the most powerfull emotion, it actually created nations.

Santiago is the kind of person I feared to become all my life. I didn't have friends growing up even tought I tried so hard and had nights crying about what I could have done wrong to be like this over and over. Then I went to uni in a different country and my life was literally put upside down. For reasons unknown to me, I got friends now and still do years later.
I think my inner self is so glad they never turned out like this.
