Stupid sexy raft

  I tgink I heard of that. Didn’t the “scientist” just like self isolate, angry that they didn’t fight eachother, while the other passengers became lifelong friends and had a great time?

    It went beyond that. In an attempt to ferment discontent in the group he started reading their reports out loud. Airing all their dirty laundry. Instead of getting them mad at each other he basically forced them to settle all their issues and form together, closer than ever. After that didn’t work he started trying to usurp authority from the captain that he selected because he thought as a woman she would crumble under the pressure of command. His greatest accomplishment as the new captain was damaging a fuel line and failing to fix it by swimming in the fuel and water.

    If I remember correctly they had to rescue him and distract him while they fixed it themselves and after that he basically sulked in the corner of the raft. Only getting the balls to try something near the end of the experiment, trying to Shanghai the raft and expand the experiment to try and force his theories into reality. After they finally got back the subjects would get together every few years to relive the good old days without him.

    It’s ironic, by trying to get them to hate each other he accidentally became something for all of them to rally against.

      ferment discontent

      I’m stealing this typo.

      (It’s “foment”, but I love the imagery of rotten, festering discontent)

      The linked article in the post claims that the crew never met again until the person filming the documentary tracked some of them down.

      They had not met since the Peace Project docked in Mexico 43 years earlier, so the reunion was poignant.

      Major Payne already taught us that this works:

      “They hate you!”

      “Good. It’ll draw them close together, make 'em a team.”

    It goes to show that humans are actually good to each other on an individual level or in small groups.

    It’s when we place ourselves in massive groups and communities of thousands or millions or billions of people that we start to act terribly to other humans.

      “tribalism” being the word we use to label when a civilization engages in pointless violence when it’s tribes that avoid this bullshit naturally by excluding the waste of time members of society who try to break society is so frustrating to me

  By his actions to stir up drama, I can probably say with confidence that he did not get laid on that journey.

  Sounds like a bit of Mark Twain…

  Next, in another cage I confined an Irish Catholic from Tipperary, and as soon as he seemed tame I added a Scotch Presbyterian from Aberdeen. Next a Turk from Constantinople; a Greek Christian from Crete; an Armenian; a Methodist from the wilds of Arkansaw; a Bhuddist from China; a Brahmin from Benares. Finally, a Salvation Army Colonel from Wapping. Then I stayed away two whole days. When I came back to note results, the cage of Higher Animals was all right, but in the other there was but a chaos of gory odds and ends of turbans and fezzes and plaids and bones and flesh—not a specimen left alive. These Reasoning Animals had disagreed on a theological detail and carried the matter to a Higher Court.

  It did however produce four awkwardly conceived children of rather mixed heritage and inconsistent religious convictions.
