Topic: Hundredth


  
  Hundredth Monkey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The "Hundredth Monkey" is the name for a supposed phenomenon in which a particular learned behaviour spread instantaneously from one group of animals, once a critical number was reached, to all related animals in the region or perhaps throughout the world.
Largely due to intentional popularisation of this story, the "Hundredth Monkey" phenomenon is now thought by many to occur in human populations with respect to ideas and beliefs in general even though the original story has been discredited.
It is often claimed that the truth or falsity of the "Hundredth Monkey" story is a secondary issue, and that its true value and significance is as a sort of "transformative myth" that encourages those who believe in it to have an optimistic view of the possibility of positive change, particularly in human society.

The Old Hundredth returns in a simple legato setting, but in the sixth variation, 'Donne secours' is so radically disguised and dissonant that is bairly recognisable.

 Re: Hundredth Monkey (was NGO Accountability) (fwd)
If "true" means anything, the Hundredth Monkey story is "true." Whether it is accurate or not, I wouldn't know nor probably care.
The debunking in Camilla's website reference seems to circle around the debunking researcher's belief that such behavior could not spread beyond a particular island without some "mysterious intervention." It is filled with generalities and is not scientific nor based upon any research on the question.
It is more of a "bah-humbug" on the notion of some spiritual intervention than a coming-to-grips with the notion that behaviors once learned are easier for species members to replicate than they were for the originator(s) of the behavior.

 The Hundredth Monkey Phenomenon and the Maharishi Effect   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The "Maharishi effect" is an alleged natural principle predicted by Maharishi in the mid-1960s and later named in his honor by TM practitioners which is described in a wide range of TM's doctrines and promotional materials.
It is often used interchangeably with the principle of the hundredth monkey.
I've seen no evidence to suggest that the "square root of one percent" figure has any scientific basis or known parallel principle, although TM claims that a large number of scientific studies prove it, or at least lend credibility to it.

 Hundredth Monkey Phenomenon comments (Skeptical Inquirer May 1996)
The pseudoscientific myth of the Hundredth Monkey Phenomenon (HMP) was devised by Lyall Watson in 1979 and has been written about in the Skeptical Inquirer.
In his story, after a threshold was reached and the hundredth monkey had learned of washing potatoes, the behavior spread by a sort of mass consciousness to the entire group, and even spontaneously leaped across the sea to groups of monkeys on other islands and the mainland.
His inquiries about the Hundredth Monkey Phenomenon are part of his research for a book on the German-language authors Erich von Däniken and Johannes von Buttlar.
