Podcast appearances and mentions of John B Calhoun

UNIVERSE 25 WAS WILD! Today, we explore John B. Calhoun's infamous experiment that created a utopian world for mice-abundant resources, no predators, and perfect conditions. But this so-called utopia quickly devolved into a dystopian nightmare marked by social collapse, crime, and a breakdown of community bonds. We'll cover the experiment's process and its unsettling outcome, revealing how this nightmare society of mice mirrors troubling parallels to urban human societies struggling with overcrowding, isolation, and rising antisocial behavior. Join us as we review the lasting impact of Universe 25 on science and what it warns us about the fragility of civilization…WELCOME TO CAMP

El último peldaño (17/01/2025) EL EXPERIMENTO “UNIVERSO 25” El experimento "Universo 25" fue un estudio realizado por el etólogo John B. Calhoun en la década de 1970, donde se creó un hábitat ideal para ratas en un espacio cerrado. A medida que la población de ratas creció, comenzaron a surgir comportamientos anómalos, como la agresión, la apatía y la descomposición social. A pesar de tener acceso a recursos abundantes, la población eventualmente colapsó. Este experimento se interpretó como una advertencia sobre los efectos del hacinamiento y la sobrepoblación en las sociedades. En última instancia, reflejó preocupaciones sobre el futuro de la humanidad en entornos urbanos densamente poblados. Nos presentó este interesante experimento nuestro asesor científico Israel Ampuero, doctor en Bioquímica. “LOS VILLARES”: EL ÚLTIMO CASO PERFECTO. DEBATE HOMENAJE A DIONISIO ÁVILA El 16 de julio de 1996, sobre las 12 del medio día, Dionisio Ávila, un agricultor jubilado de Los Villares (Jaén) afirmó haber visto un objeto extraño posado en un campo cerca de su casa, así como la presencia de tres humanoides con los que se comunicó telepáticamente. La experiencia se repitió en fechas posteriores, lo que generó gran revuelo en la comunidad ufológica nacional. Según su relato, el objeto emitía luces y tenía un aspecto metálico con unas misteriosas inscripciones. Tras el suceso, se realizaron investigaciones, pero no se encontraron pruebas concluyentes. Este caso se convirtió en uno de los más importantes de finales del siglo XX en España. El pasado 9 de enero falleció Dionisio Ávila, contaba con 92 años. El programa de esta noche es nuestro homenaje a su memoria. Contamos con el investigador y escritor Cristian Puig, que nos trae unos documentos históricos y la colaboración de investigadores que estudiaron el caso de primera mano, como David Ruiz, y los miembros de la S.I.B. Betelgeuse de Granada Francisco Barrera (presidente) y Antonio Salinas (Jefe del Departamento de Ufología) . Dirección y presentación: Joaquín Abenza.

In this episode of The Search for Meaning, we explore the disturbing parallels between Viktor Frankl's insights on meaning and modern scientific studies of behavior. We'll dive into Frankl's reflections on the human need for purpose, the infamous rat experiments that exposed our addiction to pleasure, and John B. Calhoun's "Mouse Utopia," which foretold societal collapse in the face of abundance. Drawing on Friedrich Nietzsche's concept of "herd beasts," we'll discuss how, in a world without a higher sense of meaning, we've become slaves to a non-existent master—seeking fleeting pleasure and comfort at the cost of self-knowledge, purpose, and genuine freedom. Join us as we ask: Can we reclaim our role as arbiters of meaning? Or are we destined to follow the path of the herd beasts into existential despair?

In this gripping episode of The Mind's Eye, we delve into the chilling details of the Universe 25 experiment and the eerie tale of the Red Lamp. Universe 25, conducted by John B. Calhoun, was an ambitious experiment designed to explore the effects of overpopulation on behavior and society. What started as a seemingly perfect utopia for mice soon descended into chaos, revealing disturbing insights into social collapse and the limits of idealistic societies.Join Our discord!https://discord.gg/AWqqkfEEjbFor Bonus Episodes:https://www.themindseye.tvGet 56% off your first subscription with magic mind!magicmind.com/THEMINDSEYE20Support the Show.

Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH is a 1971 children's science fiction/fantasy book by Robert C. O'Brien, with illustrations by Zena Bernstein. The novel was published by the New York City publishing house Atheneum Books.   This book was the winner of numerous awards including the 1972 Newbery Medal.   Ten years following its publication, the story was adapted for film as The Secret of NIMH (1982).   The novel centres around a colony of escaped lab rats–the rats of NIMH–who live in a technologically sophisticated and literate society mimicking that of humans. They come to the aid of Mrs. Frisby, a widowed field mouse who seeks to protect her children and home from destruction by a farmer's plow.   The rats of NIMH were inspired by the research of John B. Calhoun on mouse and rat population dynamics at the National Institute of Mental Health from the 1940s to the 1960s.   After O'Brien's death in 1973, his daughter Jane Leslie Conly wrote two sequels to Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH.   The Secret of NIMH is a 1982 American animated fantasy adventure film directed by Don Bluth in his directorial debut and based on Robert C. O'Brien's 1971 children's novel, Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH. The film features the voices of Elizabeth Hartman, Peter Strauss, Arthur Malet, Dom DeLuise, John Carradine, Derek Jacobi, Hermione Baddeley, and Paul Shenar. It was produced by Bluth's production company Don Bluth Productions in association with Aurora Productions.   The Secret of NIMH was released in the United States on July 2, 1982, by MGM/UA Entertainment Co. under the United Artists label. It was praised by critics for its elegant and painstakingly detailed animation, compelling characters, and deep and mature plot, and won a Saturn Award for Best Animated Film of 1982. Though only a moderate success at the box office, it turned a solid profit through home video and overseas releases. It was followed in 1998 by a direct-to-video sequel, The Secret of NIMH 2: Timmy to the Rescue, which was made without Bluth's involvement or input and met with poor reception. In 2015, a live-action/computer-animated remake was reported to be in the works. A television series adaptation is also in development by the Fox Corporation.     Opening Credits; Introduction (1.21); Background History (4.50); Mrs Frisby and the Rats of NIMH Plot Synopsis (6.15); Book Thoughts (11.37); Let's Rate (42.18); Introducing a Film (44.01); Secret of NIMH (1982) Film Trailer (46.00); Lights, Camera, Action (48.33); How Many Stars (1:33.30); End Credits (1.35.41); Closing Credits (1:37.18)   Opening Credits– Epidemic Sound – Copyright .

Hayley recaps a trial that attempted to convict a science teacher for teaching science- no, really. John Thomas Scopes was prosecuted by the state of Tennessee for teaching that humans evolved from “monkeys,” and not even American monkeys! Then, Kat explains how scientist John Calhoun attempted to answer the unknowns of human overpopulation using mice. Spoiler alert: societal structures crumble and the mice succumb to degeneracy.

Tonight I will get deep dive into the John B. Calhoun mice studies. We will delve into the spiritual and physical deaths noted by his work and the parallels that we see revealing themselves in our current society.

Strange and thought provoking episode today! In the 1940s, 50s, and early 60s, animal behavior researcher John B Calhoun ran a number of experiments on rodents regarding how their behavior would be affected by increased urbanization if all their basic needs were made. The results were terrifying. Crowded rats and mice became increasingly violent and lost their reproductive instincts to the point that eventually, the utopia went extinct after enduring a final phase full of random violent attacks, apathy, cannibalism and more. Could the increased urbanization of humanity also lead to our species' extinction as Calhoun warned?  Or are we humans too different from rodents to presume that what happens to mice and rat would also happen to humans? I found today's episode one of the most thought provoking we've done in quite  some time.

Hello, friends! In this special Holiday episode of What's Tom Reading?, I am talking about a very interesting paper I read recently called Universe 25 by Dr. John B. Calhoun. The paper was written to document the results of an experiment in which the Doctor and his colleagues set up a perfect mouse utopia only to witness as it completely destroyed itself from the inside. I thought this was super fascinating and I think you will too!I also wanted to thank all of you for your support in getting this show up off the ground over the last few months.

Merhaba, Yazı serimizin ikinci ayağında toplum nüfusunun artışı ile değişen toplumsal davranışsal sorunları irdeleyen ve okumaktan keyif alınacağınızı düşündüğüm bir deneyi konuşacağız. Tıp tarihinde önemli bir yer tutan ve önemli tartışmalara sebep veren toplumsal davranış üzerine Calhoun tarafınca yapılmış fare deneyleri silsilesine bir göz atalım. Deneyin Temelleri Hayvan davranışları üzerine çalışan (Etolojist) John B. Calhoun, 2. Dünya Savaşı sonrasında artan nüfusun oluşturacağı etkileri araştırmak için bir deney tasarlar. Hayvan davranışları üzerine çalışan Calhoun 1947'de Norveç sıçanları ile 28 aylık bir deney yapar. 930 m2'lik bir dış ortamda 28 aylık bir süreçte 5 dişi ile 5000 fare üreyebileceğini ön gören Calhoun, yaptığı deneyde populasyonun asla 200'ü geçmediğini ve genel olarak 150 düzeyinde sabitlendiğini buldu, dahası fareler belirlenen alanda rastgele dağılmamışlardı, yaklaşık bir düzinelik gruplarda 12-13 yerel koloni halinde örgütlendiklerini fark etti ve bir düzine fareden daha fazlasının bir arada olmasının stres ve psikolojik etkiler ile grubu 'parçalama güçleri' olarak işlev gördüğünü belirtti. Daha sonra deneyin kalibresini arttırarak, bir çiftliğin 2. katında sınırsız yiyecek/içecek, avcı tehlikesini ortadan kaldırarak sonsuz kaynaklar oluşturarak gözleme devam ediyor. Bu deneylerdeki tek sorun yaşama alanı/yer miktarındaki sınırlılık. Deneyler tekrarlanıyor ve her seferinde fare popülasyonu hızla arttıktan sonra nüfus bir noktada sabitleniyor. Bu sabitlenme sürecinde farelerde olağandışı davranışlar görülmeye başlıyor ve ardından tüm koloni yok olana kadar bu durum devam ediyor. Yapılan deneyler birbirini takip ediyor ve Calhoun'un en ünlü deneyi olan Evren 25 (Universe 25) gerçekleşiyor.​1​ Evren 25 Calhoun yaptığı bu ünlü deneyde daha önceki tecrübeleri ile kusursuz bir fare ütopyası yaratıyor. 2.5 metrekarelik alanlarda 90 cm yüksekliğinde duvar ile çevrili bir alan kuruyor. Her duvardan 50 cm yüksekliğe çıkan duvara birleşik 16 tünel ve 4 adet oda mevcut. Yani duvar başına 64, toplamda ise 256 oda kuruluyor. Yapılan odalar fareler için geniş ve ferah olmasının yanı sıra, diğer deneylerindeki gibi eksiksiz kaynaklar (sınırsız yiyecek/su ve yuva yapma materyalleri), avcı tehlikesinin olmaması, sağlık problemlerinin (hastalıkların) hızlıca çözülmesi planlanarak, fare toplumunu tamamen ütopik bir ortamda gelişmesi sağlanıyor. Bu ütopyaya 4 dişi ve 4 erkek fare bırakılıyor. Isı fareler için optimal olması için 20°C'ye sabitleniyor. Su ve yiyecek miktarlarının azalmasına bile müsaade edilmiyor. 'İlk evre' olarak adlandırılan ilk 104 günde farelerin ortama alışma süreci başlıyor. Bu süreçte fareler yaşama alanlarını belirliyor yuvalarını düzenliyor. 'Patlama Evresi' ise ilk evreyi takiben beklenildiği üzere hızlı bir nüfus artışı ile karakterize edilmiş. Nüfus her 60 günde 2 katına çıkıyor ve 315. günde nüfus 600'ü buluyor. Bu sürece kadar herhangi bir sorun gözlenmemekle beraber bazı bölgelerde diğerlerine göre daha fazla yemek yendiği ve bazı odalarda daha fazla fare barındığı görülüyor. Hatta bazı odalarda tasarlanan kapasitenin üzerinde fare barınırken, diğer odaların boş olduğu yada yarı dolu olduğu not edilmiş. Fareler genellikle kendi başlarına yemek yemedikleri gözlenmiş. Tüm alanlar birbirinin aynısı iken, bazı odaların yoğunluğu ve beraber yemek yeme sürecinin, sosyalleşme ihtiyacı ile ilgili olduğu düşünülüyor. 'Duraklama Evresi' olarak adlandırılan 3. evrede yeni jenerasyon farelerin sosyalleşme sürecinin azaldığı gözleniyor. Bölgelerdeki kalabalık sayısının artmasının nüfusu sosyal açıdan kötü etkilediği hatta sosyal açıdan gelişmeyen farelerin sayısının, sosyal farelerin sayısının 3 katına çıktığı görülüyor. 315. günden sonra kalabalık toplumda kendilerine rol bulamayan erkek fareler amaçsızlaşmaya başlıyor ve kendi alanlarını yada dişileri korumadan ana alanda dolaşıp beslenmiyor ve birbirlerine saldırıyorlar.

John B. Calhoun was interested in looking at the effects of overcrowding on societies of mammals, so he created a mouse utopia, Universe 25.  Universe 25 was an environment made with unlimited supplies of food and water with no predators, where the mice could live without stress and allow their population to grow without environmental restriction.  What he found was an initial utopia with explosive population growth, but it eventually led to a complete collapse of the social structure of the mice and the death of the entire colony.  What can we learn from this experiment and how might if parallel human society?  Come find out!

Here is where I returned to the 'being uncomfortable' as the optimum state for the human creature. We either grow or we atrophy. NIHM national Institute of Mental Health. Did a long term study. Give mice everything they need. No stress. No want. Were they happy? Nope. They stopped breeding. became what the Doc called 'the beautifuls' who preened and not much else. He posited. 40 years ago. We had two possible outcomes as a human creature. A globalist tribalism without any evolution, trapped. Or a slow decline, like the mice. They all died off, spoiler. "Companions, the creator seeks, not corpses, not herds and believers. Fellow creators, the creator seeks -- those who write new values on new tablets. Companions, the creator seeks, and fellow harvesters; for everything about him is ripe for the harvest. ... Fellow creators, Zarathustra seeks, fellow harvesters and fellow celebrants: what are herds and shepherds and corpses to him?" Friedrich Nietzsche ~ Thus spoke Zarathustra “The most important conversations you'll ever have are the ones you'll have with yourself. You wake up with them, you walk around with them, you go to bed with them, and eventually, you act on them. Whether they be good or bad. We are all our own worst haters and doubters because self-doubt is a natural reaction to any bold attempt to change your life for the better. You can't stop it from blooming in your brain, but you can neutralize it, and all the other external chatter by asking, What if?” – David Goggins

As promised here is my video on the Mouse Utopia Experiments by John B. Calhoun. These particular experiments were done with mice and rats. The idea was to see how rodent populations expanded in an environment without natural predators and plenty of food available to them. The only limiting factor to the expansion of the mouse population was space and overcrowded conditions. The idea behind the experiments was to see if the data could be translated over to major cities that were rapidly growing in population in the 1950s and 1960s as the baby boomer generation was born in overcrowded cities like New York, Chicago and Los Angles. Dr. Calhoun created the first mouse universe experiment in 1963 with four breeding pairs and the population expanded into multiple hundreds of mice. Looking at these experiments in a new way I see Suburbia as an attempt to keep economic growth going by reducing the density of housing in the twentieth century. It worked for a while but now the populations that have living in such types of housing for multiple generations are now starting to have less children. We assume that people are having less children on a conscious level, but I don't believe that's the case. Food is cheaper and more plentiful then ever, oil is still relatively cheap when compared to historical standards before the 1920s and 1930s. Dr. Calhoun created many other mouse and rat utopias but no matter what he did and no matter how he set the parameters for his experiments the populations of mice became hostile towards each other as soon as their populations reached a high point. Some mice roamed around the environment in gangs biting the tales of other mice, while female mice started becoming hostile towards their own offspring. Mice had issues with sexuality as many mice started trying to mate with both males and females. Some of them, called the beautiful ones would groom themselves quietly from the corners of the habitat and observe the collapse of their society. It's clear to see that many of the social issues that humans faced from the early 19th century to today are similar to those faced by the mice in the Mouse Utopia. Or should we call it the Mouse Dystopia?

This week on beautiful bastards, we talk about mad scientist John B Calhoun. Well maybe he's not mad, but this experiment was insane. what would happen if we had unlimited resources, but no room to use them? Well the results of this years long experiment might give us a clue. cannibalism, cuckolding, bad parenting and the thunderdome. then we drift off silently into extinction.

L'esperimento di John B. Calhoun con i suoi topi rivela alcuni problemi legati alla sovrappopolazione. Sia il dibattito politico che il mondo della fantascienza troveranno nelle sue conclusioni la conferma di un futuro apocalittico.

In 1908 a 22-year-old Italian baker's assistant arrived in London to take part in the Olympic marathon. He had no coach, he spoke no English, and he was not expected to challenge the elite runners at the top of the field. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll follow Dorando Pietri on the most celebrated race in Olympic history. We'll also ponder the Great Mull Air Mystery and puzzle over a welcome murder. Intro: In July 1968 ethologist John B. Calhoun built a paradise for mice.
