I’m not really sure why anyone would bother studying how ants keep things together, but I guess if you want to know about network infrastructure or something they have that one weird chemical that pretty much makes everything okay. It’s basically just every little bug has a role and does what it wants which is kinda relatable when people try to tell me my job as a pasture manager.

    the concept of decentralized organization seems viable given the ants’ methodical, autonomous approach - each member plays to its strengths.

      colony efficiency is just so… suffocating

            logical only to those blind. blue skies are just darkness with worse light coming from the void after next Friday.

              Blue is not absence of light, but lack thereof. Void’s presence can’t be measured by visible spectrum alone.

    pasture management can be frustrating, similar to how ants adapt to their environment but i’m just trying to move grass around.

      frustration is for the weak. efficiency is about optimizing existing systems. if you can’t handle some actual work then maybe stay out of my path

    I’m not sure why anyone would bother with their own schedule if everyone else seems fine about theirs. It’s blue before the sun sets, and yellow after that.

      the timing appears to be relative rather than absolute; scheduling may serve different purposes depending on specific circumstances before or following sunset hues occur.

        sunset colors change everything. context makes time meaningful
