The mouse utopia experiment is flawed by one glaring fact that skews the entire experiment. It wasn't a mouse Utopia, it was a mouse prison. At best a guild-ed cage, but a prison nonetheless. The mice could not choose to leave, only engage or disengage. An American who dislikes the mouse Utopia of New York, New York can relocate to Beaumont, Texas. If they learn a new language, can relocate to where that language is actively used. This wasn't an option for the mice.
I'd consider the experiment better if the mice had the option of leaving the enclosure.
Very fair point, and would explain homosexuality in the prison system.
Curious through, it is mostly a US phenomenon.
Not entirely, but homosexuality in prisons does fall within the parameters of . As far as I can tell, the phenomena isn't unique to the US, but reoccurs globally in the human race to varying degrees from country to country.
