[0:00]In 1968, a scientist put eight mice in a huge chamber. Now, the chamber had an unlimited supply of food and water. It also had many toys to play with. There were no predators, so it was a perfect environment for the mice. At first, their lives went smoothly and the population increased gradually. But then their behavior began changing unexpectedly. Some male mice became very aggressive and started bullying others. Mothers stopped nourishing their babies, leading to their deaths. And most of the mice stopped mating. All of this happened because they had no purpose. As a result, the population started decreasing and eventually the whole colony died out. This experiment shows that even if you have everything without a purpose, it all becomes worthless.
