In a simple experiment, researchers at the University of Chicago sought to find out whether a rat would release a fellow rat from an unpleasantly restrictive cage if it could. The answer was yes.
The free rat, occasionally hearing distress calls from its compatriot, learned to open the cage and did so with greater efficiency over time. It would release the other animal even if there wasn’t the payoff of a reunion with it. Astonishingly, if given access to a small hoard of chocolate chips, the free rat would usually save at least one treat for the captive — which is a lot to expect of a rat.
The researchers came to the unavoidable conclusion that what they were seeing was empathy.
Fuck yeah kindness!
Life is basically good.
rats > humans
But what most people fail to realize is the irony in this experiment. The asshole scientists pretty much tortured them just to see if they were kind, unlike the humans.
The information gathered from this experiment could have been easily sought out by just observing animals in their natural habitats.
It’s funny how we brag about our intelligence yet we lack empathy for others and let our curiosity lead to their demise.
Empathy > “Intelligence”
