Well you know 99, you can be a little on the cryptic side now and then...loosen up....wiggle around....branch out a little. Let us know a little something-something about you....then maybe 100 will be found lurking around here. :-6You never can know.

99th Monkey;955785 wrote: The Japanese monkey, Macaca fuscata, had been observed in the wild for a period of over 30 years.

In 1952, on the island of Koshima, scientists were providing monkeys with sweet potatoes dropped in the sand. The monkeys liked the taste of the raw sweet potatoes, but they found the dirt unpleasant.

An 18-month-old female named Imo found she could solve the problem by washing the potatoes in a nearby stream. She taught this trick to her mother. Her playmates also learned this new way and they taught their mothers too.

This cultural innovation was gradually picked up by various monkeys before the eyes of the scientists.

Between 1952 and 1958 all the young monkeys learned to wash the sandy sweet potatoes to make them more palatable.

Only the adults who imitated their children learned this social improvement. Other adults kept eating the dirty sweet potatoes.

Then something startling took place. In the autumn of 1958, a certain number of Koshima monkeys were washing sweet potatoes -- the exact number is not known.

Let us suppose that when the sun rose one morning there were 99 monkeys on Koshima Island who had learned to wash their sweet potatoes.

Let's further suppose that later that morning, the hundredth monkey learned to wash potatoes.

THEN IT HAPPENED!

By that evening almost everyone in the tribe was washing sweet potatoes before eating them.

The added energy of this hundredth monkey somehow created an ideological breakthrough!

But notice.

A most surprising thing observed by these scientists was that the habit of washing sweet potatoes then jumped over the sea --

Colonies of monkeys on other islands and the mainland troop of monkeys at Takasakiyama began washing their sweet potatoes.

Thus, when a certain critical number achieves an awareness, this new awareness may be communicated from mind to mind.

Although the exact number may vary, this Hundredth Monkey Phenomenon means that when only a limited number of people know of a new way, it may remain the conscious property of these people.

But there is a point at which if only one more person tunes-in to a new awareness, a field is strengthened so that this awareness is picked up by almost everyone!

Hope is the only person named Hope on fg, I have no idea about Georgia...

Be well and be good and let not that be misunderstood :)


monkey ... i believe that every person on FG has the right to their opinion ... it is

their right ... so you are fully entitled to have your say ... as i am too ...

however ... and this is only my humble opinion ... your search for the 100th

monkey is to me simply your way of staying in the mix so to speak ...

so if you wanna be part of this forum ... why not just participate like everyone

else?

why the cryptic stuff?

why the weird signature?

1, I do not concentrate on how I participate,

2, I am who I am I can be no other and I am not cryptic all of the time, in fact I can be very straight to the point...

3, The signature was a plot I was creating, basically I was taking the fact that 21 out of 40 most common posters are mods, sorry for the juxtaposition..


I like you just fine little monkey...:-6

http://www.forumgarden.com/forums/showt ... hp?t=39060


Why do you think a computer-generated voice reading Ron Amundson's article is more useful than a text version? Yes, you put up a ten-minute reading of a part of the article, I asked whether you'd like to comment on what it says. Some of us have problems with not being able to see the words, or have access to all the words. The key phrase in the written version is "We now know that the strength of this extrasensory communication can be amplified to a powerfully effective level when the consciousness of the 'hundredth person' is added" which, I suggest, is what Ron Amundson was demonstrating to be unaddressed by Watson's analysis of the data.
