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
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?
This actually a great study on how a narcissist cant get along with normal people
Thats a great point

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
I can't stop giggling at the idea of everyone just having fun and then there's this 50 year old man just scribbling in a notebook going, "they're going to rip each other to shreds any minute now... any minute now..."
"Watch, he'll turn red any second now.... any second now."
and the only questions he could think of was LITERALLY that fuck marry kill thing from high school
@@jessieornot6121 OH MY GOD TRUE
@@thesalvager3020 SEE! RED!
@@thesalvager3020...see? Red! No, that's blood...
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...
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
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
Santiago, an empath, sensing that Maria is mad at him
you almost made me spit out my soup, that's so funny
Idontgetit
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.
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.
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.
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.
I think is more related to zero contraceptives methods than boredom, but boredom certainly must have played an important role.
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
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.
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.
He unintentionally proved the difference between having a support system and not having one, the crew got friends and a life changing experience, he got crazy
He always was.
This guy helped a woman become a stronger person by acting like her abusive ex husband. What a kind man
Imagine being so bad at being the bad guy that you actually HELP PEOPLE. It's like that one ProZD sketch or something.

@@jedhraley Nah don't do Dr. Doof like that. He's actually a decent person and father unlike this smuck.
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? 🤣
Santiago is literally that one guy in the corner at a party meme. "They don't know I'm actually a genius..."
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.
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.
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.
The wind, if you will.
you look like the kind of guy to have a fart fetish
Shark meat fart
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
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.
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.
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.
Ones outlook tells you a lot about their inner world.
@@professorfukyu744 absolutely! life has shown me, people who are typical suspicious of others, should be given a short leash. trustworthy people tend to trust, or at least want to trust, others.

🙉🙈🙊
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
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.
This isn't "The sex raft", this is "The Friend-ship".
The S.S. Get-Along, mayhaps?
Hahah friend ship
Great comment
maybe the real experiment was the friends we made along the way
@@sourgreendolly7685 This, but unironically.
Santiago was what happens when a potential cult leader doesn't have enough charisma to actually start a cult.
🤣
Aww poor guy. 🤣🤣🤣
When you spent to much points on stats that make sense:
Pfft
Big brother
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.
22:28
Maria: *Throws the tree at Santiago taking into account he's dumb and she hates him*
Santiago, an empath: Ah, I believe she's upset.
LMAOO
😅😊🤣 This will make a quality example for my research methods course.
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
“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!
Love how he wanted so badly for them to become vile that he himself became so, and entirely missed the beauty of the situation
This has to be the most (unintentionally) wholesome experiment ever done. All I learned is that, in a vacuum, humans have more of a capacity to love, than to hate.
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."

@@soupguy5243 THIS EXACTLY YES
especially with how seriously he took it-
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?"
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.
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
Two completely normal women: *sharing a beautiful moment about how this voyage gave them a new perspective on life and gave them more courage as people*
Santiago: Any moment now they'll kill each other.
the indomnitable human spirit
All the people on the boat: that was a cool time. Meeting new people. Doing things I never done before. Can't wait to tell my family
Santiago: oh yeah they're close, you can see the bloodlust in their eyes.

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.

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.

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

@@Friendly_Neigborhood_Astolfoor alternatively he could’ve gone with 10 perverts
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.

This seems like something samonella academy would say
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.

The way that Santiago still tried to deny his actions when everyone on that raft knew his true character, get that hag out of here
the "experiment": a nice holiday with some new friends and one weird freak who wont leave them alone
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.

I love how he put them in charge to make the men angry but he's the only one that got mad
The whole plan to kill him was like "Murder in the Orient Express"
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.
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.
@@thepunisher4507 Perhaps if it was Couples onboard and all the woman was smoking hot... perhaps it could trigger some hostilities. :)
I love how the only hate that was generated was towards the guy running the experiment. Also, if I was on that raft I would have absolutely trolled Santiago in the questionnaires.

He probably ruined his own experiment by becoming their common enemy. Having shit jobs have taught me that nothing bands people together more than someone everyone hates.
Spite is indeed a very powerful motivator
So true.
This is so true. I had to train a big group of different people that had some real personalities in the group that immediately we’re trouble to getting things done. I spent the next 4 months totally going against how I wanted to be and acted like a fucking dick from the start. They all gelled over hating me to the point that after things were done and I didn’t have to be a dick anymore a few of them were mind blown I wasn’t an asshole and took a while to believe it and even to this day a small handful just straight up still don’t like me (but it’s all gravy to me at this point). Pretty interesting to discuss it w them (those that were cool w me after) to see things from their POV and how some things bonded them and others didn’t VS what I expected. Cool experience getting to act like a secret asshole for a while then getting to go back to being chill because it was exhausting being a dick.
Hate is the most powerfull emotion, it actually created nations.
@@francdollar163 I want my sports team to take it to the next level. hmm maybe I should do that lol
The guy completely missed the obvious fact that a bunch of random animals jammed into a cage are socially completely unlike a group of humans who voluntarily get on to a small but reasonably comfortable boat.
Plot twist, human beings are evolved to be more social then the species of monkey he was going off, who would have thought a species that evolved in small groups working together in trying times and typically outcasting those who don’t cooperate and be kind to others, which had spent most of its history in this state, would mostly have individuals who get along in trying times where a small group needs to cooperate? This guy was amusingly out of touch with his own kind
we didn't evolve from monkeys or apes for that matter. that's just effing stupid....
So we need a control group of completely random people chosen against their will.
@delilah mae are you sure there's evidence enough where using the scientific method there could be no other possibilities or conclusions or explanations that maybe even has less leaps of logic needed to hold it's theory up for whoever wants to have a look for themselves...? after all, it seems most people forget how evolution itself is just another yet to be proven theory , like most of our modern day science...
@@PopcornMax179 To create a situation actually comparable to the monkey jammed in a cage, yes. And they'd need to be stuffed into a prison cell instead of on a boat.
Actually, we HAVE that situation, in real prisons, except we do our damnedest to keep them gender segregated since we know what happens when we don't. We get similar problems when we do, but usually not as badly. And yes, we get a lot of violence, although it's not clear if we're getting a lot of violence because we're stuffing (not entirely random) people into cages or because the people we stuff into these cages are disproportionately those already likely to use violence, since having already used violence to get your way is one of the things we'll stuff you in the cage for.
It also occurs to me that many monkey species are a LOT more violent than humans are to begin with. If you compare the amount of violence that the group leaders among chimps carry out to the amount of violence that leaders of small groups of humans carry out, chimps are WAY more violent than most humans. For at least the last 50 000 years, since modern linguistic capabilities arose in humans, the kind of violence that makes a chimp the absolute master of the band of chimps has, among humans, been an excellent way to get murdered in your sleep by a small group of betas who are angry at how you treat them and theirs, and know how to walk quietly while carrying large rocks.
this doesn't prove that people will go mad in confinement. it proves they'll go mad under pressure and if pushed hard enough
my guy was so sure people would go insane as if people didn't travel on ships across the ocean all the time
Santiago: “They don’t know I’m secretly trying to achieve world peace”
"Yeah we do"
"You never stop talking about it"

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 RUclips 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."
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?
Didn't Santiago ever realize that people sailed back and forth across oceans for millennia
yeah but like, they totally murdered each other along the way
@@ecyor0 Definitely.
@@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.
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

@@jasonisfamous6544 I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure Oda said it isn't.
well done
The “kith” raft
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.
Ironic that he used world peace as a cover up and it ended in them all peacefully enjoying eachothers time
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
Ironically this experiment proved the kind and friendly nature of humans lol
Only because the experiment inherently selected against violent bad natured people by presenting it as a solution for world peace
IKR he could've just documented the experiment professionally and then took the results and made quite allot of interesting information out of it. For example His constant control and micromanagement and refusal to let people do their jobs was probably an extremely unifying force on the boat. Dude was forcing a hypothesis instead of documenting the results of his experiment.
That’s what I thought too, everyone here are different that it proves how social and dependent people are on each other. If he really wanted his project to work, he should’ve gotten actual horrible people
I’m wondering if perhaps the crew were reading Santiago’s diary entries and then continued on. xD
@@officerspider7996 Its always sunny: The gang joins a raft experiment
Being 30 minutes in, I’m enjoying that Santiago is becoming what he expected everyone else to turn into.
As a person fascinated with science and psychology, it frustrates me to no end that Santiago is unable to comprehend that results that don’t align with the hypothesis are not bad or wrong and can still provide incredibly valuable insight. Unexpected results are still results and are still useful. I think this study is a testament of the beauty of human relationships and further exemplifies that we are an incredibly social species (regardless of the poor construction and ethical violations resulting in very insufficient empirical results with basically no generalizability). The dichotomy of Santiago frantically scribbling his “findings” into his notebook like a madman, convinced everyone on ship is about to violently attack each other, while people are working through trauma with each other and gaining new positive perspectives on life is just so funny. The entire story feels like it’s fiction, but the fact it’s real makes it all the more hilarious. Thank you for sharing, Wendigoon :)
This guy would’ve LOVED modern reality shows like Love Island.

@@GBlockbreaker Yo, for real! Even if their plans always fail, they often fail due to unforeseen circumstances totally outside of their control or expectations, and outside of that all their plans nevertheless are usually incredible feats of creativity and ingenuity. How many times has Team Rocket tried to catch a Pokemon, and in the process of doing so just casually create marvelous devices and technologies that could easily be worth way more than the Pokemon they're after, and could easily set them up for life?
@@thek2despot426 Jesse and James could have KILLED IT in fashion, textiles, acting, mechanical engineering, hell, they'd probably make a pair of damn good Pokemon rangers. Those two could have thrived in just about any industry other than capturing that Pikachu.
@@falconstudios146 If I remember correctly, James comes from a rich noble family. I guess petty crime is his passion
Basically, Santiago was a messy gworl, who was there for the mess, and got disappointed that everyone else was chill.
