Das "Universum 25" Maus Experiment

The video explores John B. Calhoon's Universe 25 experiment, a utopian world for mice that ultimately led to societal collapse due to overpopulation. Initially, the mice thrived, but as the population grew, social structures broke down, leading to violence, asexuality, and extinction. Calhoon observed that overpopulation causes behavioral sync, where individuals seek social proximity despite conflicts. He suggested that humans might face similar issues but believed in expanding conceptual space through ideas and technology. The video questions if overpopulation is a threat to humanity and discusses potential solutions.
