Start
with a cage containing five monkey. Inside the cage, hang a banana on a
string and place a set of stairs under it. Before long, one of the
monkeys will go to the stairs and start to climb towards the banana. As
soon as he touches the stairs, all of the monkeys are sprayed with cold
water.
After a while, another monkey makes an attempt with the
same result, then, all of the monkeys are sprayed with cold water.
Pretty soon, none of the monkeys will try to climb the stairs. Now, put
away the cold water. Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with
a new one. The new monkey sees the banana and wants to climb the
stairs. To his surprise and horror, all of the other monkeys attack him.
After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb
the stairs, he will be assaulted.
Next, remove another of the
original five monkeys and replace it with a new one. The newcomer goes
to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the
punishment with enthusiasm! Likewise, replace a third original monkey
with a new one, then a fourth, and then a fifth. Every time the newest
monkey takes to the stairs, he is attacked. Most of the monkeys that are
beating him have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the
stairs, or why they are participating in the beating of the newest
monkey.
After replacing all the original monkeys, none of the
remaining monkeys have ever been sprayed with cold water. Nevertheless,
no monkey ever again approaches the stairs to try for the banana. Why
not?
