Andrew Tates Story Telling Genius of the “5 Monkey Spraying Experiment” Tells You How Governments Are Performing a Psychological Operation on You.
His perspective is a lightning rod of controversy.
Today, I'm shaking things up a bit and sending out this email slightly earlier than usual. So grab your favourite drink, and find a comfy spot because this gets good.
Have you ever caught yourself silently agreeing with controversial figures when they raise a valid argument?
We’ve all been there.
The most googled man in the world is under house arrest.
Romanian authorities have charged Andrew Tate with rape, human trafficking and forming a criminal gang to exploit women sexually.
He’s not someone who sparks my enthusiasm.
But nowadays, there’s a growing attraction among men worldwide towards rebellious behaviour, often teetering on the edge of criminality.
These men feel “disenfranchised” because of the growing idea that portrays men as inherently evil in modern society.
So when you have someone like Tate, a storytelling genius who can pull anecdotes out of his head with precision like a seasoned stage performer, it’s no wonder people are captivated by him.
On the outside, he gives off the appearance of your modern success story. He’s smart, a dedicated athlete, relatively good looking and filthy rich.
Before getting cancelled from the internet, Tate often shared his lavish lifestyle on social media, with flash cars, expensive properties, cigars and private jets. It’s part of a carefully crafted self-promotion on social designed to appeal to his loyal supporters and make him money.
Tate’s lawyers have even claimed he plays a “character” online for entertainment.
Despite claims of a $400 million net worth, authorities have confiscated all his possessions, revealing a stark contrast in his purported wealth. $10 million in assets, mostly cars and around 21 Bitcoin, have been seized.
We can speculate, but likely, the only way Tate has hidden his wealth from Authorities is either it doesn’t exist or he’s put it in someone else’s name. Heck, he may even have it in decentralised assets.
While this shit storm was reaching its climax, Andrew Tate had time for an interview while under house arrest, and he claimed that this all highlights a wider problem of control.
He uses the example of a little-known “Monkey Spraying Experiment” to explain how governments psychologically brainwash you without knowing it.

“They’re (governments) controlling what you think, and on a long enough time frame, what you think becomes true.
We all believe two plus two is four, but with a hard enough psyop (psychological operation), if you can’t say that, if you have to say it’s five, on a long enough time frame, math breaks down, and everyone’s just going to believe that two plus two equals five”.
5 Monkeys Were Placed in a Cage as Part of an Experiment.
Andrew Tate explains the experiment, which relates to how governments try to manipulate your thinking, which by all accounts, was performed in the 1960s by Gordon Stephenson. Allegedly.
A ladder with bananas on the top rung was in the middle of the cell. Every time a monkey tried to climb the ladder, the experimenter sprayed all the monkeys with icy water.
Eventually, when a monkey started climbing the ladder, the others pulled him off and beat him up to avoid the freezing spray. Soon, no monkey dared go up the ladder.
The experimenter then substituted one of the monkeys in the cage with a new monkey.
The first thing the new monkey did was try to climb the ladder to reach the bananas. After several beatings, the new monkey learned the social norm.
He never knew “why” the other monkeys wouldn’t let him go for the bananas because the experimenter had never sprayed him with ice water. Still, he quickly learned that the other monkeys would not tolerate this behaviour.
One by one, each of the monkeys in the cage was substituted for a new monkey until none of the original group remained.
Every time a new monkey went up the ladder, the rest of the group pulled him off, even those never sprayed with the icy water.
By the end of the experiment, the five monkeys in the cage had learned to follow the rule (don’t go for the bananas) without any of them knowing the reason why (we’ll all get sprayed by icy water).
If you could have asked the monkeys for their reasoning behind not letting their mates climb the ladder, their answer would probably be — “That’s just how it’s always been done.”
Tate used this anecdote to reflect a general theme in our culture where we tend to do things based on what we’re told without questioning or revisiting the reason behind it, even long after that reason ceases to exist.
Andrew Tate says it’s precisely what the governments are doing to us. It’s a psychological operation to gain control, conning you into ignoring your own eyes.

“Don’t climb that ladder, or you’ll get beat. That’s just how it works. That’s what they (governments) do to humanity on a long enough time scale.
There are already X people on the planet, and there’s already a population of X per cent who ignore their own eyes and repeat what they are told.
You can’t say that’s different from what they’re doing because they’re already successful with X amount of the population.
They’ve begun, the seed is there, two per cent, three per cent, seven per cent, who knows? They’ve already proven they can do it.
Now it’s just a matter of not shutting up and hammering it home, ensuring they repeat it in schools.
Children are young, they believe things, they’re impressionable. Hammer it to the kids, especially put it in every Disney movie, and give it to them all day.
They grow up, sooner or later, long enough time frame; that’s it.
It’s a generational attack.”
You’re More Likely To Go Along With the Crowd Than You Realise.
Tate’s remarkable storytelling ability surpasses anything I’ve witnessed before. His narratives are utterly captivating, drawing you in as if you’re on the brink of battle, ready to face life’s most formidable challenges.
If only the monkey spraying experiment he speaks of were true.
It’s not.
The experiment was supposed to describe an actual scientific investigation performed on a group of monkeys, and it’s supposed to raise profound questions about our tendency to follow the herd unquestioningly.
Regrettably, there is no truth to that claim, as no record of any Monkey Spraying experiment ever occurred.
Ironically, this unverified claim to be scientific lacks any proper scientific evidence but has still been widely circulated, with people initially sharing it to highlight our inclination to follow the herd mindlessly.
Ironic.
But the concept rings true, and plenty of other research shows that we are prone to social conformity, groupthink and impacted by external influences on individuals’ beliefs and behaviours.
Asch’s famous conformity experiment (this one’s real) delved into the fascinating realm of human behaviour and how the influence of others shapes it. It aimed to uncover why we often go along with the crowd.
It suggests that it’s less about governments performing a psychological operation on us but more about a strong desire to fit in with our peers.
Here’s a simplified explanation of the experiment:
In the experiment, a participant was placed in a room with a group of people who were actors.
The group was shown a series of lines, and each person had to state which line matched a reference line in length. The catch was that all the actors purposely gave incorrect answers.
Unaware of this setup, the participant had to decide whether to conform and give the same incorrect answer as the rest of the group or trust their judgment and give the correct answer.
The aim was to see if the participant would conform to the group’s incorrect response due to social pressure.
The results showed that many (75%) participants conformed to the group’s incorrect answers, even though they knew they were wrong. They chose to conform to avoid standing out, doubting their perception, or being perceived as different from the group.
This experiment highlights the power of social influence and the tendency for individuals to conform to the majority opinion, even if they believe it is incorrect.
The findings from Asch’s experiment provide insight into how societal norms, group dynamics, and peer pressure can shape our behaviour and decisions.
Final Thoughts.
It’s interesting and ironic that a man who presents himself as composed and unaffected can tell a story about manipulation (that lacks factual basis) while grappling with the chaos of his own criminality.
It’s a contradiction at best.
He’s proving his point about manipulation and brainwashing but the reverse.
There are, however, parts to Tate’s story and the concept of what he is saying that ring true.
We’re told to believe things when our eyes and ears say something entirely different.
It’s a twist of irony because Tate reinforces a point that captivates and influences his audience regardless of its factual accuracy.
His storytelling is a powerful tool for shaping people’s beliefs.
When it’s not based on truth, that’s manipulation.
