he yells "BITCH" in his squeaky chimp voice.

They don't mind it, but they prefer grapes because they're sweeter, so in this context, a grape (which he saw his neighbor receive seconds ago) is considered worth more than a cucumber, considering they both performed the same task (hand in a small white rock in exchange for a treat).

dotheherpaderp (10/08/2015) [-] It is, indeed. In primate training facilities, however, we refer to any action a monkey performs for our research purposes as a "task", as an umbrella term. It kind of slipped out because I'm used to saying it a lot, but you're right, it is an exchange of currency.
You can watch the source for a full explanation. Look up "Excerpt from Frans de Waals TED Talk" on YT.

Sevenseas (10/07/2015) [-] **Sevenseas used "*roll picture*"**
**Sevenseas rolled image**Actually, you're wrong, windows comes with a text reader so you can theoretically browse the web while being blind.
Let me tell you, if you have a week to learn how to do it, it's very... interesting.
PS: I might go blind due to detaching retina so I figured I should probably learn.

This fact is actually revolutionary to psychology and economics. The fact that it's not exclusive to humans and could be an integral part of primate behavior

captainfuckitall ONLINE (10/07/2015) [-] How do we know the monkey didn't just want what his friend got?
Gods damn, my dogs switch bowls all the time just because they think I gave the other one something that tastes better.

"Humans are greedy because even animals want the same thing and won't accept different rewards"
Vs.
"Humans aren't greedy because animals too believe the grass is greener on the other side and envy what their peers have"

This has nothing to do with the wage gap. Economics is much more complex than one simple moral concept like fairness, because not all labor is equal. Wealth inequality is fairly complex.
All this experiment is showing is that some primates have similar innate moral compasses to that of humans.

lean (10/07/2015) [-] Pretty sure the monkey didn't sign a contract affirming his agreement to established pay. It's not the fault of any business if you don't negotiate your contract and then agree to it.

MoparMan (10/07/2015) [-] They didn't really reject it because it was unequal pay, the monkeys just didn't like pear.

Yeah, that's the point.
Monkeys don't necessarily "like" cucumbers, but if given to them they will eat it. Monkeys do LOVE grapes though, and if given the choice they would probably choose grapes practically all the time
The experiment is related to unequal pay, both monkeys perform the same task, and get a certain reward (pay).
The experimenter hands the ball through the glass, and the monkey hands the ball back through the other hole (the task).
One monkey does it first, and gets a grape. The second monkey sees the first one getting a grape, and gets mad (?) when he does the same task and only gets a cucumber.
In the same experiment, if they do the same task and BOTH get cucumbers, both monkeys will accept it.
However when the rewards are unequal, the monkey getting the **** end gets pissed, which is pretty funny
