The next step was to give the group of 11 chimpanzees a chimpcam; a video camera housed in a chimp-proof box. On top of this box was a display that showed live images of whatever the camera happened to be pointing at. The chimps soon became interested in the chimpcam, carrying it around their enclosure and watching the images on the viewing screen change.
Why continue? Because we must. Because we have the call. Because it is nobler to fight for rationality without winning than to give up in the face of continued defeats. Because whatever true progress humanity makes is through the rationality of the occasional individual and because any one individual we may win for the cause may do more for humanity than a hundred thousand who hug their superstitions to their breast.

The scientists considered this as a possibility, but there was too much brush.
