I read once about an experiment where they put let's say ten monkeys in a room, with a ladder in the middle, leading up to a bunch of grapes or bananas or whatever. Whenever a monkey approached the ladder to try and climb it though the researching would blast 'em with water. They all eventually learned that climbing the ladder leads to water cannon. They replaced one of the monkeys with a new one, and the other nine monkeys quickly taught it not to climb the ladder. This continued until all ten of the original monkeys were replaced, and eventually the water cannon had passed out of memory, and only remained in the lore they taught each other and the new monkeys, even though nobody had actually been sprayed for several "generations" if you will.
I think about that a lot whenever people say they aren't allowed do something, especially because of religion.
Last time I saw it, someone said it was fake. Here's a source I found for that: some guy made it up for his self-help book
I'll be darned, thanks for the correction. Now that you mention it that definitely sounds like the kind of story a self help guru would tell.
