Nope. Insect queens don't actually have any sort of authority or control over their colonies. They just produce baby insects, that's it. It's not like they can direct armies of insects to attack you on a whim or something.

>>3295683
what about army ants? i'm asking this as a person ignorant of ants btw

>>3293398
>millions of years
Dude, China is not that old.

>>3295683
This statement couldn't be more wrong
totaliterian socialist state is the best description probably, the queen releases pheromones which often dictate how the colony acts. Especially in raiding ants
Coup d'etats happen among some species, when the ants feel the queen is not useful or sick/aging. They immediately kill/remove her and replace her.

>>3295820
>the queen releases pheromones
You know that's not a conscious behavior, right? Saying queens control their colonies with pheromones is like saying you controlled the people around you to call 911 by having an epileptic seizure.

>>3295820
>Especially in raiding ants

>>3295683
When a queen bee dives, the females put in the breeding role will fight to the death over who will command the rest of the colony and kill their sisters. Sounds pretty fucking totalitarian to me.

>>3295835
perhaps we subconsciously do and that is why seizures are such a violent affair

>>3296015
Totalitarian just means it intends to control every single aspect of life, even the day to day things. It's not necessarily violent.

>>3296049
woops i forgot that scarabs were also dung beetles. I hesitated to make the connection because the egyptians depicted scarabs a lot and that raises the question why they depicted shit beetles so much (i'm guessing cause they're aesthetic, but still)

>>3296052
And than the Greeks pretty much burrowed everything
And than the Romans followed
By your shitty logic everything west of India are leech colonies

>>3296081
>And than the Greeks pretty much burrowed everything
they really didn't. maybe early greek philosophers because a lot of their shit was mathematical and astronomical speculation influenced by the babylonians and egyptians. maybe material cultural influence, artistic and SOME literary influence too. But their thought was quite original, as far as i know.
Romans' political, cultural, legal and administrative legacy are huge, though a lot of their ideas were derived from Greece. But they did make original contributions to humans progress. Arabs and persians made some scientific and medical advances, so they must be given credit where its due. iirc they also innovated in financial and mercantile transactions but they nowhere near matched the european advances here. i'd say most of all though the arabs and persians were useful mediators from east to west, as they brought over indian astronomy, number systems, navigational techniques, gunpowder, silk and paper from the east (some of these inventions coming from china), no to mention essential introduction of flora (indispensible to the development of the Atlantic economy) such as rice, sugar and cotton

i can meet a guy from anywhere in the world and coexist with him, because I do that every day. I live in LA, home to virtually every group of people on the planet. Ants have no relationships that go beyond their isolated setup. They dont establish diplomacy with other ant queens, they dont trade. Humans are tribal but also have the capacity to trascend it. Ants cant, theyre just dumb ants.

Humans: 1
Ants: 0

Educate yourself you fucking autist

Ant society is not comparable to human society you fucking autists. They don't have a political system, they're a hive mind.

The reason humans are superior is that we can be effective on our own. Ants just shit themselves when they go off their predetermined path.
