      As is the case for rich people who become more and more disconnected from reality the longer they are rich, deluding themselves that the world is a meritocracy.
      It's like the Paul Piff monopoly experiment (also discussed in a Ted talk) where he had pairs of students play an obviously rigged game of monopoly where one player started out with more money and got to roll 2 dice instead of one, allowing them to move around the board faster. After the game, when the students who inevitably won were asked why they had won, they ALL talked about the smart moves they made and the strategies they employed. None of them acknowledged the head start and blatant advantages they were given.

    I am amazed how intelligent they are. The one who gets the cucumber actually bangs it against the wall, testing it, because she thinks there must be something wrong with it for getting cucumber instead of grapes. So her rock must be lacking in quality according to her thoughts. Thats an insanely high level of intelligence for me. Crazy.
    Being able to identify the inequality, being able to understand that this must have a cause, and trying to find it.
    And im not sure that she tests it, maybe shes showing it to the doctor like "see, my stone is as good too, gimme grapes!"
    Just awesome and crazy.

      Similar to humans being passed for promotions, being paid less, or not being given a raise or bonus, some will attribute it to their own short coming. It's a mentality that is pervasive in America, the idea that you are in complete control of your destiny and not a monkey inside of a cage who will get cucumbers no matter what you do because that is the life you were born into while the monkey next to you will have to do nothing and always get grapes.

      Exactly, which is why you should let your coworkers know how much you're making. You could have agreed to get a pay of 15$ an hour while someone working just as long as you doing the same work is making 16$ an hour, but because you both are afraid of telling each other what you're making, you end up getting cheated and not knowing it.

No one is forcing you to do it its not soviet Russia if you feel you can sell your labor for more then go do it no one is stopping you. Plus this line of thought completely ignores the biggest reason for wage dissparity which is competency and reliability. If you and i both work at the same job for a year and you show up everyday and allways do a good job but i call out and do an average job and then our reviews go around we both come up for raises and you get a dollar and i dont then is it unfair that we have a different wage?
      Of course this can be used to take advantage of people like only giving white employees raises simply because theyre white or men simply because theyre men without giving consideration to the quality of their work this is illegal and has serious consequences if proven to be true. But to assume that all wage disparities are results of inherit biases or discrimination is not only false but dangerous misinformation.

      My wife kept insisting I go to the company we sub-contracted with and demand more money. My gut instinct said not to. We were making very, very good money and I didn’t want to jeopardize that. We didn’t know what the others sub-contractors were making but I was ok with the gamble. She was sure we were getting “cheated” so after six months of this I brought it up. It was embarrassing. I originally negotiated the contract with us being paid at the top of the industry standard. They were ok to keep paying it because we were their best sub. Our renegotiation meeting was overheard by another sub who pitched a fit. It didn’t matter that we did a better job and had no returns to fix mistakes or damage. They didn’t bring the other subs to our pay scale, nay, nay! WE got lowered to everyone else’s pay. I should have followed my instincts!!! It cost us more than $300k over the course of three years. If you’re doing good and are happy shut up and earn your pay. Too many employees waste their employers time and money complaining to their co-workers who really don’t want to hear their whining! After the Crash of ‘07-‘08 we were the last subs contract to be canceled. We stayed their best and it paid off in the end. It just would have been nice to have had the extra pile cash .💰

Also maybe those other recruits were more experienced for the job and had more time in the field. Maybe they had a better education.

We're not going to pay someone off the street with no experience the same that we'll pay for years of prior experience, training, or education (depending on the job)

    I work in a nursing home as a CNA (Nursing assistant) and get paid slightly above minimum wage. The place I work is in desperate need of CNAs to care for the patients, so they brought in registry CNAs to fill in. These registry CNAs we’re getting between $26-$28 an hour while the regular employees get paid $16. Needless to say, we asked for equal pay in which they replied, “you agreed to your current pay when you signed the contract.” Well guess what? Many of the CNAs quit and the Nursing home was filled with registry CNAs who were not accustom to the policy while getting paid quite nicely (if they just paid their employees the same rate, they wouldn’t need registry CNAs). The place has not fully recover and their 5* rating dropped to a 2. I won’t be surprise if the place close down.

It was a management decision and they made the wrong decision and the patients suffered. I don’t exactly understand why the people getting paid more could at least do the level of work that the lower paid employees were capable of. Even if they quit and went to another job, paying exactly the same amount of money because that’s what the industry was paying that outcome would be better than staying at the same job, knowing that someone doing the same work as you were getting paid double amount of money that you were getting paid especially after asking for an increase in pay. That’s intolerable because of one’s sense of fairness has been violated.

    I did my internship with a psychiatrist that had a monkey & it went everywhere with him, including the office. I did this little trick where I had a banana chip up my sleeve and I would rub my hands, clap them together and make the chip appear. I then gave it to the monkey.
    After doing this for a while it became an every morning ritual.
    When other people in the office were out of treats, the monkey understood they don't have one to give to him. Well, the first morning I showed up with no banana chip, he grabbed my hands and rubbed them together, then made my hands clap, then he checked for a banana chip.
    No chip. He then did the motions with his hands as if telling me to do it. I did it but still no chip. He got angry at me. He didn't understand I didn't have a chip to give him because, over time, he believed I could make one appear at will. He didn't understand I didn't have any, he just thought I was being mean. lol I used my lunch hour to go buy banana chips.

      I do understand the point you are making here, but ultimately what would these experiments do to further the knowledge and are they really necessary?
      Because we already know that capuchin monkeys have a sense of fairness and unfairness through these experiments, we would not need an additional experiment that confirms this sense but uses a more complex setup than this one. The monkeys would show the same reaction, they would get aggitated and we'd have the same result as in the first experiment without finding something new.

    • @adday3006
      @adday3006 Před rokem +3

      @@jayer. It's about as enlightening as an experiment that shows the innate desire for fairness. In this experiment, Left Monkey realizes that he's getting unequal reward for the same work and gets upset. Right Monkey is completely fine with this new system.
      Well, what if Right Monkey has to complete the task three times in order to get cucumber? Does Right Monkey get upset at the increased workload? What if Right Monkey has to complete the task three times but gets a grape afterwards? Does Left Monkey get upset with the reward?
      What happens when Right Monkey has to complete a task that Left Monkey hasn't been trained to do? Does Left Monkey only react to the reward, without considering the training or difficulty of the task? IMO, equal reward for equal work is only half the issue, and the other half is more indicative of the real world, where all but a few people are performing tasks that are different from us.

It got in a fight with the bear that did have a fish trying to take the fish. Wasn’t any comprehension of fairness and simply the bear wanting what the other bear had and it tried to take it. There is no evidence this has anything to do with them seeing things as fair and them simply wanting the best for themselves regardless. That’s not wanting things fair that’s just wanting the best.

Trying to conflate compassion with fairness when you can’t even prove this is a comprehension of fairness and not simply the monkey wanting the more prized food source for its self out of pure greed. Animals see different results for equal work all the time in the real world. Like the two bears not every hunt is successful for the effort put in. How could animals that live in an unfair environment possibly care or know what fairness is? Nature was never fair to begin with, what could fairness possibly benefit them in the actual cruel world?

      Suffering and death promote success over fairness, at the level of survival. One being better rewarded than another for a similar effort is unfair, not sharing is greed.
      Individuals can go a step beyond recognizing unfairness, and seek to compensate through compassion, though it is not mandatory to the understanding of fairness.

      The left one was clearly underpaid, a cucumber is not a valid calorie source for a monkey, it isn't even a calorie source at all, it is just fiber and water with some minerals. Of course a hungry monkey gets pissed off and wants actual calorically dense food. This isn't analogous to workers making wages as the commies want it to be.

    I worked in a company back in the early ‘80’s and most of us had college degrees, some had Masters. We got a new boss one day, he was all of 20, barely got out of high school, functionally illiterate, he was the nephew of the big boss. We took it on the chin and just did our jobs. Then….when he screwed up and blamed us…..we all quit. He was eventually fired along with his uncle. The company did fold.

      This is just nepotism, not exactly related to the video. Your "boss" was related to the big boss. The experiment shown was what happens when 2 have the exact same qualifications and does exactly the same things but get rewarded differently.

    2-4 year old humans show the exact same behavior. However it is far harder to tell what is more valuable to them.
    A girl gets a doll, a boy gets an action figure. They both feel treated unfair.
    You get the boy (new pair) a doll too and he shows the exact same behavior as the monkey.
