I've just read a few articles about this and this dude though that since monkeys fight over ovulating females, humans would do the same thing.

He put the women in charge of the important s--- and gave the men menial jobs specifically because he thought it would emasculate the men and make them more aggressive. Instead, everyone worked well together. He banned reading materials so they couldn't distract themselves from interpersonal drama.

Also, sex-wise? To try to "ensure" people had sex with each other, he only chose participants he personally thought were attractive (and l'm sorry dude but your tastes are not everyone's tastes). Also he made sure that one of the people on the raft was a priest because he thought it would make them feel guilty for all the sex they would definitely be having and then cause more drama? But then because the quarters was so cramped and they spent so much time together (it wasn't even possible to piss in private) that the only ways to have sex were in front of the whole group or in the dead of night with one hand on the helm. So they just didn't. Reminiscing about it years later, the members basically said "it was a lovely trip, except for that a------ scientist." i-peed-so-hard-i-laughed if you ever thought you were bad at your profession, this was a real scientist, for real, in real life Source: tilthat 54,239 notes
