The Monkeysphere

Fuking awesome.

I'm left wondering how many times he said the word 'monkey'...

as many times as it takes to get through your monkey brain :)

Not enough then.

Hilarious and mildly insightful; but, ironically, simplistic to the point of flirting with rongness.

SWEET.

'LEARN TO OPERATE THE meepING ELEVATOR meepONS, meepCAMEL!!'

You know, I think I might actually lean over and shout that at a friend who presses the wrong meepons, if only to use the word 'meepcamel.'

hehe, monkeys dressed up like pirates. heheheh

Seriously though, the evidence is pretty strong for a hardware cap of about 150 people in your 'monkeysphere' -defined vaguely and variously as: 'the number of people you could ask for a favour and expect to have it granted.' and '..the group of people who each of us, using our monkeyish brains, are able to conceptualize as people'. Taking both of these at face value as accurate descriptors of the psychological result of a physical characteristic of the human brain, I would speculate that this same physical characteristic will become associated with future thories on nationalism, racism, meepism, loyalty and obediance. It may help explain politican positions, celebrity worship, religion, crazy-old-cat-ladys. Further research might yeild an entirely new approach and/ or alternative to carceral punishment for rehabilitating felons.

yay science!

Not only do I understand it all now, I also have an urge to meep Jane Goodall.

I meeped Jane Goodall's gorilla.

@ meeproach, this socio-psychological moneysphere theory is still only based on another theory, that of evolution. So, can you really base a theory upon another theory?

'So, can you really base a theory upon another theory?'

Matter of fact, this is the reason why you are here, sitting in front of your computer, in your room, and not in a cave.

This guy is a genius, this is all what i tried to explain when discussing social problems but never were able to formulate in such a good way.

LuckyLuciano: Of course you can. In layman's terms, if something is said to be 'just a theory,- it usually means that it is a mere guess, or is unproved. It might even lack credibility. But in scientific terms, a theory implies that something has been proven and is generally accepted as being true. A theory is an explanation of a set of related observations or events based upon proven hypotheses and verified multiple times by detached groups of researchers. One scientist cannot create a theory; he can only create a hypothesis. Some scientific theories include the theory of evolution, the theory of relativity, and the quantum theory. All of these theories are well domeepented and proved beyond reasonable doubt. Between statistics and your lack of confidence in evolution I would guess you are religious. Please, tell me you've heard of Gregor Mendel. He was almost the father of evolution instead of Darwin.

oops, I mean father of the theory of evolution.
