The monkeys are replaced one by one with new monkeys, until none of them remember why they do the beatings, but still do them anyway. Now imagine that there are no scientists and no bananas atop the ladder, and the monkeys attack each other for no reason whatsoever. Now imagine that the cage is called Southeast Asia, and you have your explanation.
