bro wanted a sex and violence boat but what he got was a friendship and group therapy boat lmao
the best part is he tried to pick women who were married and I mean dont you think if they actively had a spouse that'd make them less likely to like
@@cubsfanman-nx6pgI know right? Like if he wanted the violence and sex get people who are single. Especially teens who are into both lol I guess he thought human nature would dictate they would all be that way
It’s like the school system but reversed
@@Footwater Damn😮
Tru tho😂
and become the laughing stock of his own experiment
bravo
I'm surprised that Santigo, an educated man, somehow forgot that humans have spent centuries crossing the ocean on voyages that lasted months, in even more cramped conditions than in this experiment, with alcohol present, and still managed to not murder each other. He could have just read a couple history books and saved himself years of effort.
But, that would require having a realistic perception of humanity and violence and I don't think Santiago had that.
Right lol? I'm sorry this guy was a total idiot.
Ikr, guy was a idiot
I mean, yeah some murders happened for sure, especially in pirate ships in 1800 era, but it's not like people were going to go full caveman mode if they spent months together in a ship
History books don't talk about sex.
Santiago: If I put the women in charge and give them traditionally masculine roles, the men will get angry and fight!
The men: We chillin'.
Oh one man got angry alright, even though he came up with the idea himself
"Finally, a break"
A woman who knows more about sailing then me taking charge? I'm good this is fine.
@@michaell4187that sounds like a dream no lie
Masculine you mean male?

Dude this made me scream laugh
its almost like people have emotions!!???
@@charlesdemers1197 it’s a meme about supposed empathetic people “sensing” very obvious emotions. Like she was clearly very mad and threw the paper at him, anyone could tell she didn’t like him, but he acted like he was so observant for recognizing her anger towards him so it’s kinda funny.
Santiago: “Women in positions of power will make men violent”
The men on the boat: “Hey this is great”
Santiago: "fuck you Maria, I know you're a naval officer, but *I'M* in charge here."
Men will become like how I am because I am all men!
@@akashi9667
The truest form of projection
Poor baby, he thought every man is like him :D
yep
I keep jumping between “Santiago is an abusive creep” and “Santiago is genuinely unwell and need psychiatric help”
He can be both!
Porque no los dos
He's the whole unstable package
Just sounds like solipsistic narcissism.
Yes
What did homedude think was going to happen if his experiment worked? "Oh, yes, I tricked all these people to come on a raft with me for 100 days under false pretenses, and half of them murdered and violated the other half, just like I planned. Where's my award?"
And that's even without considering that he himself willingly got onto a murder raft that he actively believed and attempted to make into a murder raft.
also does he think that he wouldnt also be on the list of murder targets if they did?
like "whup, no no no you're not allowed to kill ME thats against the rules!" while out at international waters with like no accountability in the moment lol
Yeah i thought that too, like a typical "Oh no, it worked!"
@@lonelystarslibrary9326 Ah, that classic meme (if I could only post a pic here):
"I'm a genius! ...oh no!"
i think he thought he'd be the leader of the murdering and violating, which imo i what he REALLY wanted lol. he loved the false history of dudes murdering other dudes and violating women whenever they wanted, and wanted to be the alpha in it. but unfortunately for him, human nature and social evolution came from and IS pack bonding
He would be the first one to disappear from the raft
It's ironic that he specifically hired women who were professionally trained at the tasks needed in order to make the men feel threatened but the only man who ended up feeling threatened was him
Some projection indeed
@@PineappleTom71 Fr lol
Dudes didn’t feel threatened at all. They’re just like “ok, cool! I’m going fishing!”
He did the whole experiment hoping he wasn't the only one with his negative feelings towards his female scientist colleagues, and wound up scientifically proving that he is indeed the only one there with those thoughts. Pretty much proved that he was the monkey, and not them. Though I doubt even monkeys would react the way he would've thought.
And that the idea was for people to turn feral with anger and go crazy, but only he was mad...
Someone: *rips out a massive fart*
Santiago: "The subjects have managed to use the body's natural processies to create a chemical weapon to attack each other. THIS is the break."
Lol 😆
something broke I guess
@@fungalwater3175 The air.

I think the funniest thing about all of this is the fact that he gave them exactly what they needed in order to 100% bond as a team and develop a sense of loyalty between them: a common enemy.
lmao, yes this is actually another great way to look at it
I find it rather ironic how Santiago, who was so obsessed with getting results, was completely blind to the actual results the study yielded, which are actually pretty profound. All of these people were from completely different backgrounds, different culture, and yet, given the chance, they were all able to form strong connections and experienced incredible self discovery. How is this experience anything but an intense reminder of how powerful relationships truly are? How are these results a failure? Santiago was just so occupied with his proving his hypothesis that he forgot that disproving your hypothesis is just as meaningful in science, completely missing the incredibly moving results his research ultimately yielded despite his interference
He made the biggest mistake that scientists are not supposed to make. He came to a conclusion first, then tried to find evidence to support what he already believed.
@@jupitersnoot4915 dude switched up hypothesis and conclusion
@@almerosepwanzaky6342 lol, that's what we actually did in our research. We were relieved that we're right or else we gonna do the whole project again. xd
i was coming here to comment that! if he wasn’t such an dickhead and a biased narrator this could’ve actually been an amazing study
I think the most interesting part of this is was the nature of communication and how pivotal It is in our society, there were problems with stealing food and problems with early distrust and mild aggression
However communication was the key difference. I would be interested in a (more humane, cause wtf) study where there is a language barrier.
What the nature of humans are when we can't communicate. Do we create new methods, do we teach what we know to each other, or would we be aggressive, hormonal monkeys?
local mad scientist ruined by the power of friendship and good vibes
literal scooby gang scenario
sounds like a generic plot for a kids show and that's what makes this even funnier
Sounds like some my little pony episode 😂
The power of friendship is real boys
Well, if you're a scientist, you really have to go above and beyond to get...attention, usually.
This video becomes ten thousand times funnier if you just imagine Santiago sitting in a lawn chair on a full suit while muttering "any time" to himself the whole time
Oh my god… that does sound hilarious
Angry lawn chair boomer of the sea, don’t forgot the sunglasses and budlight
Like a man that is stranded on a beach losing his mind 😂 “Any time… Any time now… 👹”
All the while everyone is just laughing chatting and getting along singing songs and dancing with each other
*any time now
Santiago is literally that one guy in the corner at a party meme. "They don't know I'm actually a genius..."
this reminded me of a conversation i had with my mom once, i asked her "mom, why our grand parents have so many children?" and she answered "back in the day, we didnt have a tv" and the conversation died there.

@@Celxorth I didn’t understand this but it made me laugh?
@@RoseDxoggo My best guess is he’s referring to the youtuber pamtri, who uses a robotic voice line that says “Santiago,” & puts it randomly in his videos. His content is abstract & meant to come off creepy at times, otherwise it’s just silly.
I think making the raft so small and existence so communal was probably one of the main reasons why his experiment failed. Not that it would have devolved into what he was hoping for anyway, but making it easier to have privacy and where secrets could grow _may_ have added some tension or spite amongst the group. But mostly it's just hilarious how he attempted to get everyone to hate each other and he only succeeded in making them all hate him.
Huh, no wonder americans hate one another so much.
If it was that easy reality tv producers wouldn't need to meddle and make thing up to create drama.
His experiment failed because it was stupid because he was stupid. People have been traveling on boats for thousands of years. He picked intelligent people with management experience for the raft and they each had different clearly defined responsibilities. If he picked stubborn people and appointed 3 of them to be captian then there would have been a power struggle.
Or at least were told as such 😅
no it would've turned out completely differently like he'd wanted, like you said it was communal, even their time to destress themselves in bed, was with other people, they were never actually alone, they never had the ability to atomize themselves from the group, because in the physical reality they were always connected to the group and it wasn't deniable, you cannot deny that on a long voyage with set food everyone MUST work together to ensure survival happens, they had to work together, Santiago though gave himself a lot of time to be away from the group and stew in his own thoughts, all the while accepting to himself that he was never a part of the group, he felt an outsider which is why he became so paranoid I'd guess.
You could make a pretty eery horror game about this, You are just vibing with the characters and then the experimenter is like “Do you enjoy hurting people?”
Ironically, I think without reaching in terms of plausibility, it wouldn’t be that scary for the same reason this wasn’t scary. Not only do you outnumber the researcher, but you are forming a strong bond with these people and would be able to rely on them for safety and security. You’d have to add unrealistic elements like make the researcher capable of killing everyone themself, introducing artificial distrust, etc.
I like this idea for an eerie game. Still, I think it would be better as a novel-esque RPG.
Imagine Santiago’s face as he looks through the questionnaires and reads his own name for “who would you kill”
No joke, he'd probably document this as his experiment working flawlessly without fail...
Even though he's just annoying the crap out of everyone else with his huddled shell of a lifestyle
😮😮😮
im just imagining like chef skinner reading the letter 😭😭
@@soupguy5243 THIS EXACTLY YES
especially with how seriously he took it-
I love when he tries to come up with different words for sex
"Intermingling"
"The opposite of violence"
But then he just says "The Sex Raft"
Offspring creation
Intense cuddling
Kithfing! And rapidly mangling
Well he is quoting so i guess its ok?
Gettin freaky on a friday night yeah!
(Sorry couldnt resist)
The mental image I have of this is Santiago absolutely fuming and loosing it, stomping his feet like a cartoon character while everybody else is like “ayo, chill my dude, I’t all good” and it’s glorious.
im so here for wendigoon learning a group of sharks is called a shiver & his voice going up in delight as he gets to use that word
So an edgy researcher tried to engineer social decline on an isolated raft and gets bullied instead. This sounds like a Key and Peele skit.
Yk i was thinking it had those types of comedic elements but. I couldn't think of Key and Peele till you said it lol
I can kind of see it as something that the crews from Peep Show or It's Always Sunny would stumble into inadvertently. In the former case it would definitely be Superhans' doing, and the latter would simply happen if Dennis tried to invoke "The Implication" with Dee anywhere near.
They killed him with the power of friendship
When he got to the part about the researcher reading the questions out I was just like "I would watch this sitcom" lmao
He's like a third-rate B-movie horror villain when everyone else is living in the real world
Seems a bit high brow for Key and Peele. Could see it being an Always Sunny episode like someone else mentioned. The guy is literally Dennis. He thinks he's this genius manipulator but really he's just an ass who no one likes.
Santiago: “This is to create world peace.”
**creates peace**
Santiago: 😐
LMAO
SHSHSUJJ LMFAOO
I was thinking *Suprised Pikachu Face*
Proof that you can lie and still tell the truth
Yep, that is the irony of the whole experiment. It gave a "roadmap" to how to create world peace.
They are airing a reality show rn based on this experiment called "Survive the Raft", and they frequently bring up the fact that Santiago hoped the crew would get along but that it completely failed and they fought instead. It also frequently shows text from his writings after each ad break as though they are this prophetic important thing and it honestly cracks me up knowing what actually happened
That show isnt really an experiment tho, it’s a game show and it’s clearly not based on anything.
I read the description, it’s 9 americans who, if they can work together, win money.
The only thing in common with this experiment is a raft and people on it.
34:26 The idea that Santiago was acting like an abusive husband does not bode well 💀
"Acting" lol.
“If it wasn’t for you meddling kids and your dumb kindness I would have the perfect research paper” - Santiago probably
"Damn those results destroying my beautiful and scientific theory!1 This experiment is obviously inconclusive"
He clearly never knew anything about research and how it even works lmao
"If only they had killed each other, my paper would have been perfect."
“Santiago probably” 😂😂😂
Ree he-he-he-he!
The part where Santiago is trying to start drama with the crew and ends up with a group therapy session where everyone is apologizing to everyone else is so funny. This experiment could be a sitcom with how bad every plan Santiago had backfired.
I was thinking the same or for a movie too. I could not stop laughing at the part where Santiago wanted to do the experiment over again by himself staring at the ocean for 100 days😂😂
Everything he did just proved him more and more wrong, showing how human nature is actually to be kind and take care of each other, which is equally heartwarming and hilarious.
it reminds me of the real world because it ALWAYS ends with sex. always, no matter what it ends up in sex so of course that raft would end up being nothing but sex by the end of it. humans man, humans. also survivor with the planting of betrayal ideas.
@@maggiedk re
@@maggiedk Well, I'd imagine if they had no idea where they are, limited food, little experience in sailing and whatnot they might have become violent, selfish or something else.
Not to defend Santiago or say he was not an idiot though.
Santiago seems to be someone who was aware enough to see his own flaws, but instead of improving them, he projected them on everyone. You get a snapshot of his character from the choices he made. Like he assumed giving women important jobs will upset the men, because he was sexist. He thought having a priest there would make the men more aggressive, which says he was likely an edgy atheist. He also outed himself as a city boy with no experience hunting by his overblown reaction to the shark incident. He reminds me of a guy I knew in college.
But at the same time, it seems he was shitty researcher. Every psychologist, drill sgt. or a school teacher worth their salt would have told him that having a common enemy would unite the group. And that having clearly established roles, hierarchy would release the tensions instead of creating them.
"What's the experiment's about?"
Santiago: "It's about world peace."
He called it.
For once, I can accurately use this meme:
The real Sex Raft was the friends they made along the way
i resentfully agree, the meme is apt

The idea that Santiago planned them all to go crazy and kill each other and go at it like rabbits, and that in the end the only person they wanted to kill was HIM because he was a weird violent ass is the funniest thing I've ever heard
It wasn't even those things. The breaking point was when he got into a physical fight so he could drive them into a storm and potentially kill them.
@Socio Cynical dude did you just miss the entire reason why?
@Socio Cynical Check out game theory and how it turns out with different strategies.
@Socio Cynical Santiago, is that you? 🤣
Bruh literally forgot that the entire age of exploration happened. Like, no one's ever gotten on a boat for months before, no, never.
Yeah lol.
Its like he didnt look at any small explorations sent to america or any colonies ever lol
This reminds me of that quote from the dark knight: "what were you trying to prove? That deep down, everyone is as ugly as you?"
I want a sitcom style show about this where basically everyone is living on the raft in harmony while Santiago is like pulling his hair out trying to sabotage everyone and being comically upset when nothing happens
Then at the end one of the crew-mates sits with him and starts telling him about how good the trip was, how they grew as people etc. Before patting him on the back and leaving. Nice lil send off for the show lmao
that would be hilarious
I would love that if it were real
Among us
someone please please make this
He picked people who's whole careers depend on positive social interaction and then expected them to be antisocial. And the man considered himself a genius lol..
that a good point! maybe if he selected way more introverted people, forced them to live in that tiny cabin, maybe that could have added some toxicity. But let’s be real humans are generally chill as long as basic needs are met.
Yea, however, his point was that society would devolve. So the more positive and social the more horrendous the "fallout" would have been if it did.
@@craigquann joker posits that too and is proven wrong many times. The real world proves it wrong. The only people scared of food shortages or theft are people willing to steal or not share.

also by advertising the experiment as being about bringing about world peace, he basically filtered out the people who were most likely to commit violent acts
31:03 😂 I love how this maladjusted mad mans evil plans were foiled by this group of professional, well adjusted, emotionally healthy adults, who were just genuinely nice decent people 🤣
This just proved one thing, that even in the ocean, without fresh food or entertainment, you cant escape the guy that will being his guitar everywhere
Santiago: "Alright this experiment is for world peace"
People: *make peace and friends with each other *
Santiago: "Listen here you little shits-"
LMAO LITERALLY
this is NOT how you are suppose to play the game
Its proof that by nature people like each other, its people in power that try to divide us
He really didn't get what actually causes violence. Jealousy and feelings of being cheated. If you were to say give some crew members more rights than others or intentionally allow bullying of some people by others such as the college prison experiment, then you'd see violence. But just people standing around together will get along because we are social creatures. He really wasn't much of a psychologist if he didn't get that.

HE WAS LITTERALY THAT MEME OMFG
“From the detail of the branches, I can tell she is upset.”
Ah yes, I’m sure the detail of the branches was quite apparent when they came hurtling towards your face!
When I first read this I thought you meant an actual tree and I was very confused
Santiago was a textbook narcissist. Especially the fact that the abuse survivor felt his behaviour was familiar. Just...totally disconnected from reality, thinking he's the shit and that he knows everything. He knows that if *he* were put in this situation, he would devolve (as he proved) and therefore everyone else would/should act that way. Literally couldn't handle the reality that he was wrong, and later resorted to other means of getting attention: Pouting. Unfortunately, I have a few family members who act the same way. I would avoid them completely if they weren't financing me through school.
A group of men and women in a small space at sea for a long time? That's literally a modern nuclear submarine, and those aren't exactly known for sex or for violence within the crew
You could make the argument those are militarymen who underwent all sorts of training to maintain order in the sub, and laypeople would be different. But laypeople proved not different.
Santiago: I will make a woman captain, that will surely make the men revolt.
Also Santiago: How dare that woman tell me what to do!?
should have called the raft "Projection."

in a way, Santiago proved his point...however he was the one that fell victim to his hypothesis.
what he failed to consider in his "experiment" and showed very little self awareness on his part, is that he chose people who where confident, knew themselves and had empathy for others. what he needed for his "plan" to work was insecure, fake, vain, and self absorbed people. but, he was the only one on the bot who was insecure, fake, vain, and self absorbed, so he is the only one who fell victim to become feral.
44:35 When I heard that question, "Is there anyone that you would want to kill on this boat?", I thought that most would respond "N/A". The actual answer was even more hilarious!
This whole thing reads almost like a kids book, themed around how being nice and kind to your peers is important. Santiago sounds like a Disney Villan.
That's exactly what I thought. Only part of the story that is messing is Santiago admiting his wrongs and becoming friends with everyone.

@@ecyor0 Totally.
Maybe his assumption was that these would be preformed crews of career sailors, often majority male, with clear leadership hierarchies, that are likely from a similar background. Which is not entirely accurate historically, but he wasn't a historian.
I think ultimately his experiment proved that a more random collection of people from different backgrounds, with limited nautical experience, given a common goal can still unite as a crew. Which is still not anything particularly groundbreaking, but I guess it still makes an interesting experiment.
@@ChrisSmith-mi2zo He was an anthropologist though. He should have done his research beforehand.

The crew: 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Santiago:🖕💀🖕
The whole shark thing is hilarious to me. These people are like "Oh hey, we caught a shark, toss it on the grill," and this creepy old man is acting like this is the most violent, psychotic thing he's ever seen. The sheer mundanity of eating a fish.
I mean a shark is not the usual kind of fish to be eating (afaik) but still not what he was making it out to be lol
edit: Okay I get it, people eat shark. Chill lol
@@LilacMonarch I mean it was already dead so it was either eat it or throw it away
@@hatefulgaming1800 you dont just waste good shark like that!
“Holy shit! you mean… you people are eating to survive?!? what kind of fucking monsters are you!!”
@@LilacMonarch Icelandic people eat them.
the "experiment": a nice holiday with some new friends and one weird freak who wont leave them alone
Old dude unintentionally figured out one reason drill instructors are the way they are.
When the group detests one individual, its a bonding experience.
This sounds like an episode of a kids cartoon where the bad guy tries to secretly manipulate the protagonists into hurting themselves only for his plans to backfire every single time
santiago has dr doofenshmirtz vibes
@@idiot4975 except doof is a good person.
@@areaxisthegurkha Doof thinks he's a villain but in reality, he's just a good guy.
For Santiago, it is the other way round.
All his inators at least work. He just doesn't use them effectively. He has very poor planning skills.
definitely some Scooby Doo villain energy
People joke about the power of friendship, but this is literally it. I've never heard a wholesome ending out of a social experiment.
If I had 100 points to award for the results, I'd give 90 to the captain and 9 to the priest and 1 to Santiago, the villain. Including a competent captain who knows how to lead was a huge mistake on his part.
Yeah well something could go wrong with that though you dont know what kinda people might attend it, so it would need some sort of security
Anime was right
@@captainmaim but I'm glad he did have the competent captain, otherwise there was a risk they would die at sea.
@@ggundercover3681 but his plan was to make them kill each other, so he should have expected everyone to die at sea... What a maroon.
This was supposed to be a blind study that was supposed to study human interaction between 10 people, by Santiago
This ended up being a blind study on the detrimental effects of narcissism, studying Santiago
The whole plan to kill him was like "Murder in the Orient Express"
Experiment: **is about world peace**
Participants: **are at peace**
Santiago: **confused screaming**
Because war is caused by our leadership
it wasn't about world peace tho
War is never started by the people. It's the leaders wgo are at the top that starts war.
@@huh968 Santiago is that you?
@@user-mp3eh1vb9w Unless it's a tribal conflict. Or if there's popular support like Afghanistan
Was expecting to hear a fucked up sex and horror fueled story, wound up hearing a wholesome story of friendship and unity…with one grumpy boi
True but I don't think that's the whole truth specially considering the researcher lost so many details like Edna having sex wid 2 dudes and stuff lyk that.
I am pretty sure lot more happened and ppl didn't want to talk about it cz they had to go back2their families.
@@lepenseur8242 guys look i found Santiago's kid! but fr tho, what else could have happened, especially with their relationships with each other and life after the cruise.
@@lepenseur8242 nah I mean humans are kinda boring lol
@@harrietjameson what? What r u trying 2say? Atleast articulate ur words properly
@@bombomos yea..most probably true.. but I am sure uder that superficial monotony lies a lot more.
If I ever feel like humanity is cruel and hopeless, I'll think back on this. Some dude put a bunch of people on a boat so they would kill and r-word each other, but instead, they all became life-long best friends.
29:00 the bit with the notebook, prime comedy
Expressed goal: world peace
Secret goal: primal violence
Result: world peace
Nailed it
Experiment failed successfully
Sooooo for us to eventually reach World peace is to have 1 scientist that will carry the weight of the brunt of the hatred of every other person in the world for 100 days.....this means that this New-Santiago-like-scientist will actually become the savior of humankind thus an ultimate hero,
Nice story arc.. i think there is a movie script hiding in (t)here.
@@wallyslow every *hero* needs a _Villain_ , and our villain as a collective shall be santiago!
Note: i said Hero & Villain and not Protagonist & Antagonist *intentionally* , because a hero *has* to be the good guy, whereas a protagonist can be the bad guy
Santiago: *confused screaming*
The world need santiago.
So basically this guy created a literal tribal paradise on a gorgeous raft in the middle of a beautiful ocean full of fish, populated it with interesting people who had a variety of skills and professions, and made sure by the setup of the experiment that people would interact with each other, share stories and songs and meals and work... and expected them to randomly start murdering each other? Um... I'm thinking that says more about Santiago's mindset and view of humanity, than anyone else's.
The idiot's experiment would've probably gone more according to plan if he choose only people who had criminal backgrounds, but I think how it really would've worked out is everyone would distress on a healthy afternoon of "accidenting" him off the raft even in that scenario.
@@Ryanowning but that would simply go against the point of the experiment, as you'd be involving people who are psychologically different from the average human being, when in reality he was looking for the average human being to resort to animalistic tendencies when put in that situation. But of course, the man was an idiot and created the perfect scenario for all of them to bond and relax. You're right though, he would have 100% been the one to have been thrown overboard in that case.
@@thatmfdiego If you've ever heard stories from guys who've been in prison it's pretty clear that the result would most likely be exactly the same unless you put complete psychopaths on board.
@@voxlknight2155 or tell everyone (in private) that there’s a bounty on 2 other random people that are also gonna be on the boat, to actually give them a motivation to attack each other
@@wolfetteplays8894 which also goes against the point of the experiment
34:47 FUCK THIS PART MADE ME CRY BECAUSE YEASSS WOMEN'S GROWTH AND THEN LAUGH FROM THE IMAGERY OF SANTIAGO LMAOO
The sharks were probably following the boat to eat anything edible that went overboard. Sharks often do this with fishing vessels. The sharks might have also been following the boat to eat any fish that might have been hanging out around the boat.
Dude literally forgot that humans have sailed the ocean for centuries in voyages that took whole months of their lives with little to no amenities but song and drink.
He's just like. Nope. THE SEA IS MADE FOR ORGY AND BLOOD.
i guess he assumed that because most sailors traditionally have not been women, a coed presence on the craft would cause disaster. if anything his experiment just proves that sexism in sailor gender diversity has always been completely unfounded.
@@Ariel_emerald women may not have crewed ships before, but they sure as hell have been passengers. Either way his thesis was dumb.
@@Ariel_emerald also, male pirates/sailors actually used to get 'married' (idk if it can be called a marriage but they performed commitment ceremonies) to each other on their voyages simetimes. waaaaaay before being gay was an accepted thing anywhere else in the western world.
so it's not like there was no romance or sex at all lmao some of it just didn't involve women.
Lol
@@Ariel_emerald There is even fairly well documented clear cut real life experience on this factor too. Look into prostitution aboard royal navy ships in the 18 and 19th century. Some captains turned a blind eye to prostitutes being aboard for the duration of the journey, some turned a blind eye to prostitutes being aboard in port, and some strictly banned them. It turns out that all three approaches led to functional crews.
It's less well documented but civilian vessels would certainly have taken a broad range of approaches over the millennia as well. If his hypothesis was correct, ships would routinely come back to port with the bulk of their crews murdered and nobody would be batting an eye about it. That would just be the way things are and we would think the concept of ships' crews not routinely murdering each other to be utterly bizarre.
Santiago: “They don’t know I’m secretly trying to achieve world peace”
"Yeah we do"
"You never stop talking about it"
Sam Hyde moment
indeed
"They don't know that they secretly want to kill each other and have sex"
th-cam.com/video/m8g9wpTPZwU/w-d-xo.html
I think the best thing about this experiment was that in trying to prove how violent and animalistic humans are, Santiago only proved how good and social humans can be, and how they can form friendships even through hardship and when we’re left alone, we only seek connection.
my guy was so sure people would go insane as if people didn't travel on ships across the ocean all the time
Omg Santiago is literally the stereotype of the cartoon villain like "these darn kids with their love and friendship are running my evil plans!"
Literally a yu gi oh villain
I accidentally clicked this video and wasn't going to watch it until I saw the guys name was Santiago. Seeing comments talking about someone with the same name as you is really strange. Especially when Santiago is an uncommon name.
I find him somewhat relateable. I think I can guess what went wrong for him.
@@Acetyl53 He was just absolutely dumb as hell, and kinda sick too. So the fact that you found him relatable says a lot of things about you.
@@simple_playz TH-cam hid your post by the way, I'll copy it here.
"He was just absolutely dumb as hell, and kinda sick too. So the fact that you found him relatable says a lot of things about you."
"Aren't you tired of being nice?"
"Don't you just wanna go apeshit?"
-Probably Santiago
No
The other people
This seems like something samonella academy would say
If the raft was filled with people like Santiago he would have gotten the results he wanted 😂
Or just a bunch of paranoid people wondering why they aren't killing each other making middle school insults lol
Being 30 minutes in, I’m enjoying that Santiago is becoming what he expected everyone else to turn into.
I love the irony of how he predicted everyone regressing, and going feral, but he was the only guy that got angrier and ruder
Makes it very clear that he was projecting onto them
@@nikk-named exactly. this guy needed someone to finally give him a reason to behave, how he really wants to behave.
Yes, also, IDK what kind of misguided logic led Santiago to conclude that female participants who were older and had kids were the ideal, the epitome, of female fertility and attractiveness.
As a young guy, an older woman who has already had kids with other men is rather not attractive, ESPECIALLY if I am looking for a deep, long-term relationship.
@@DrPepper-iy7vv Probably projected a milf fetish based and justified it with those monkey experiments, considering how he projected his entire mental decline.
I think their friendship might have come so strongly from a coordinated hate on him
His first mistake was getting a group of scientists, mothers, priests and photographers... these are intelligent and compassionate people, what did he expect 💀
Right? if he wanted to prove his hypothesis true he should’ve put a bunch of incels and “alpha males” on a boat😭
He basically just proved that humans don’t think the same as monkeys.
@@manbaby9166 also probably disproved that not everyone would be violent and would actually be friends with people they are stuck with
@@yin4296 Better idea would be the cast from Jersey Shore. *smile*
True. But I imagine this was his thought process:
Santiago: Hmmm how do I test to see if humans can become violent and cruel? Hmmmm OH I know! Scientists! Scientists are cruel people. They do lab experiments like this ALLL THE TIME! Hmmm whatelse..... OH! Mothers! Mama bear's can be BRUTAL in protection of their cubs. PERFECT! Hmmmm who else.... a priest! More people die in the name of God than anything! Hmmmm seems a little too..... controlled.... I need a chaos element.... OH! Photographers! They see beauty in everything and can't think about things like survival. That will stir the pot perfectly and create the perfect environment to see this happen! This plan is fool proof!
I guess Santiago expected The Lord of the Flies, when even when a Lord of the Flies situation did happen (bunch of kids got stranded on an island), the kids actually just got along (like on the Acali Raft).
I just find that hilarious, like do you think that naval captain was going to let any of that shit fly?
Love that Santiago got female volunteers to do all the important jobs in order to make the men feel undermined but then gets undermined by the women who know how to sail and he just throws a fit.
I know I was thinking the whole time "why didn't he just use people that had absolutely no clue how to operate an effing boat?" I know very morbid question!
@@Friendly_Neigborhood_Astolfo that would be a more morbid yet interesting experiment. What if 10 or so people who have little to no knowledge of sailing a boat gets to be set off to the sea, nor have leadership skills. He expects Lord of the Flies but instead got Treasure Island XD
It’s almost like mysoginist assholes assume all other guys are like them
Talk about projection, right?
@@Friendly_Neigborhood_Astolfoor alternatively he could’ve gone with 10 perverts
Santiago: "if you were to kill someone who would it be?"
Whole crew in unison: "you"
By the end of the experiment, yes.
I am so up to date on stuff like this and I have NEVER heard of this one! I never woulda known about this if you hadn't have done it. Thank you for making a video on this! I can't wait to watch the movie now.
Also I LOVE the rat experiment you mentioned. I would 200% watch your version of it. Please do it!
