with unlimited food, entertainment, shelter, and no predators.   The mice had everything they needed to thrive, but around Day 317, something went horribly wrong.  The social structure began to break down.    [![Apply For a Commercial Loan to Blackburne & Sons](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/37671/34e9010d-6f3b-4979-93c2-9e705da5a9fc.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/37671/34e9010d-6f3b-4979-93c2-9e705da5a9fc)   ![Tailgunner](https://info.c-loans.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Tailgunner.png?width=750&height=686&name=Tailgunner.png)   [![Submit Your Loan to 750 Commercial Lenders Using C-Loans.com.  It's Free!](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/37671/dcd11210-cbb0-42bd-b761-d0cb0da003c9.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/37671/dcd11210-cbb0-42bd-b761-d0cb0da003c9) Dominant males became aggressive and attacked others randomly.  Some females became violent against their young.  Meanwhile, a group of males withdrew completely.  They stopped fighting, mating and interacting.  Calhoun called them, “The Beautiful Ones”.   As these passive males increased,  birth rates collapsed, infant mortality rose to 100%, sexual behavior broke down, and pathological violence and cannibalism appeared, until every mouse died.    [![Earn 11% to 12% Interest Since 1980](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/37671/2bf75d3f-f30f-4ef4-b662-699ba6b4788f.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/37671/2bf75d3f-f30f-4ef4-b662-699ba6b4788f)   ![Screenshot 2025-11-08 at 4.02.04 PM](https://info.c-loans.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-11-08%20at%204.02.04%20PM.png?width=754&height=976&name=Screenshot%202025-11-08%20at%204.02.04%20PM.png)   [![Free Commercial Loan Software](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/37671/f8924837-4c27-4eb1-a5d8-c49f9b09d9e8.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/37671/f8924837-4c27-4eb1-a5d8-c49f9b09d9e8) Calhoun repeated the process 25 times.  Each time the ending was the same.  The conclusion was disturbing: When a population no longer needs to struggle for survival and no meaningful roles exist… social and behavioral collapse becomes inevitable.   Universe 25 wasn’t about mice.  It was a warning.   [![Free Commercial Loan Placement Kit](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/37671/752b4698-f1ce-4837-be5e-e00e0a994532.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/37671/752b4698-f1ce-4837-be5e-e00e0a994532)   ![Screenshot 2025-11-08 at 8.23.44 AM](https://info.c-loans.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-11-08%20at%208.23.44%20AM.png?width=768&height=810&name=Screenshot%202025-11-08%20at%208.23.44%20AM.png)   [![Nine-Hour Video Training Course How to Broker Commercial Loans](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/37671/2fa994cb-f6ac-4671-821f-b4bd48cb5f1f.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/37671/2fa994cb-f6ac-4671-821f-b4bd48cb5f1f)   [![Earn 11% to 12% Interest Since 1980](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/37671/2bf75d3f-f30f-4ef4-b662-699ba6b4788f.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/37671/2bf75d3f-f30f-4ef4-b662-699ba6b4788f)   [![Follow George on X (Twitter) Hit the Follow Button Next](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/37671/8ece6f95-5245-4c5e-af9a-b1a255850a22.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/37671/8ece6f95-5245-4c5e-af9a-b1a255850a22)   Topics: [Universe 25](https://info.c-loans.com/topic/universe-25) ### George Blackburne III Owner of C-Loans, Inc. ![George Blackburne III C-Loans Owner](https://info.c-loans.com/hs-fs/hubfs/George%20Head%20Shot%20Small%205%20by%207%20copy.jpg?width=158&name=George%20Head%20Shot%20Small%205%20by%207%20copy.jpg) ### Subscribe via E-mail ### Connect with C-Loans ## [![Get the Latest Scoop on C-Loans Inc.](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/37671/bacfb58b-143e-40d7-b126-33c182b5b90b.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/37671/bacfb58b-143e-40d7-b126-33c182b5b90b) C-Loans.com® is sponsored by  C-Loans, Inc. — For more information, contact Tom Blackburne 555 University Ave., Suite 150, Sacramento, CA 95825 Telephone: (916) 338-3232 x 317 * Tom Blackburne in Indiana: (574) 210-6686 * Fax: (916) 338-2328 Real Estate Broker -- California Department of Real Estate -- License Number 01330173 Arizona Dept. of Financial Institutions – License Number 0909472 The Florida Mortgage Brokers License Number: 0708758 [Read our many client Success Stories](https://c-loans.com/mortgage-brokers-overview/success-stories/) » © 2025 C-Loans, Inc.
