faceless Chuck-E-Cheese birthdays?
I’ve been sitting here for 10 minutes trying to figure out how to express my feelings about my six-year-old’s last birthday party.

Frink, you gotta copy, paste and post this twice or it doesn’t count as a true “Faceless Chuck-E-Cheese Birthday” post.

I don’t have any idea what or why but I’m not interested in finding out.

it’s a teaching story for the reader…not the monkeys …
I read this thread while on hiatus and I understood the message of the story.
And thank you.

I meant why should you have said “My hat’s off to you” as opposed to what you actually said?

It seems that Finnius has stumped most of those responding. This is just a general observation based on my own understanding of the story compared to others.

I doubt that. Nevertheless it was interesting.

I am not saying my interpretation is the correct one. I could be wrong. It is just my general observation based on my own experience and what I gleaned from the story.

Since it is a “teaching” story, what did you learn from it?

I already knew what I believe it to be teaching so I guess nothing.

Then I believe it would be best to share what you had reinforced in your mind, since most of us were just too stumped to get it.

My apologies if anyone mistook what I said as me knowing better than anyone else but I did say the above.
I believe the story to be a social commentary. Humans and Monkeys are 2 separate species. Yet, as I read the story it shows us, that some of our own actions, can make us look inseparable. Monkey see, Monkey do … or the conditioned mob mentality as pictured in the story has no valid place in humans “evolved” sense of being, yet we exhibit this behavior just as brutally and easily as the monkey’s in the story do. The other side of the same coin is the humans who take over the experiment and do nothing to stop the monkeys. They apparently assume that this is the way things are and turn a blind eye to it.
This is what I saw in the story. No over analyzing, no wishful thinking, no going to google and finding words that make me sound smarter than the average bear. It was the only thing that came to mind when I saw the post. I’m sure if I’m wrong someone will tell me so. There may be no right answer, it may be an individual experience, but it’s a simple read IMO.

In other words, I’d love to hear your interpretation.

You’re too impatient. 😉

Thanks for taking the time to share.
One last question… did you learn that this type of behavior is a bad thing -and/or- did you learn that it is actually what happens?

That’s 2 questions. 😉
In my opinion, neither behavior is healthy, and they should never be encouraged. We are not always as evolved as we seem to think we are. Learned behaviors such as this one are of no rational benefit. And yes, I was raised to see this behavior as negative, and not something to be a part of.

I cannot speak for Finnius but I’m sure if you asked him he’d probably tell you what it was he was referring to. I see it as a social commentary on the dangers of such learned behaviors and the ease with which they can be administered.

He may have meant something very general. I just wondered if you thought he was being specific.
