Red Hot Nickel Ball vs. Ant Colony in 5..4..3..2....

The description indicates that this is a "fire ant" colony. Although it's not certain, these are likely invasive 'fire ants'.
Setting aside for a moment the obvious argument that humans are also an invasive species, there are several reasons to kill invasives, and this was not a particularly nasty way to do it.

Now, he also casts carpenter ant colonies, which are likely indigenous to his area.. that, in my opinion, is weaker ethical footing.

@ant isn't pleased.

Perhaps, non-coincidentally, the finished cast of the colony doesn't look too dissimilar from a piece of coral.

*music *cute

Ants vomit to feed other colony members. ~

I think most people are this way with their learning. Enough to make the dough and serve the role. AND FUCK ANYONE OVER THAT GETS IN THE WAY -- or show enough indifference as to maintain the state that keeps them employed.

That's the joke of reality. That's the truth. There ain't nothing beyond THAT. This is it. Humanity. We'd have to split off into a colony or a faction within a faction to gain anything close to anything that is fair or Utopian. Goddamn man. Goddamn it, it's just how it works.

And then within that colony, the same indifference to change will form and the change that does come will only serve the top. Always. That's ALWAYS how it will be. Even beyond this world. Beyond humanity. There is CAUSE and there is REACTION.

Like tabloids and colonialism, Zoo magazine is one of Britains many demoralizing sources of embarrassment.

"divide and conquer" is the basic strategy of the ruling class, and has been since the days of colonialism, when dividing a populace made it much more vulnerable to outside rule. A populace fighting itself is less likely to perceive outside control, and less likely to notice that their wealth is being drained before their eyes.

If u keep people emotional and fighting, they won't think.
Emotion is the antagonist to reason.

Remember, Rupert Sheldrake *actually believes* in psychic powers.

In this video he sets up a bunch of straw-men arguments to knock down. Just by using (and abusing) the language of science and framing it inwords like "dogma" that we associate with religion doesn't mean that anything else you have to propose has any validity.

He believes that by "morphic resonance" that "natural systems, such as termite colonies, or pigeons, or orchid plants, or insulin molecules, inherit a collective memory from all previous things of their kind".

Hmmm. I'm waiting or your peer reviewed paper on this with interest.
