      one raises ant from the ground up and the other destroys entire colonies in one day, by burning them alive and yet the other seek friendship and peace, and not judging the other by his own morals. this is truly a good community.

      That's why the nest have so many tunnels, because some ants get lost and then they make new tunnels

      I'm also here after listening to the Terrence Howard video as he explains how we as humans should take inspiration on design and science based on how nature operates and the curvature of how the spherical universe expands. Houses and cities without squares or straight lines but made instead with curves and spheres. Even the exercise of thinking this thought and imagining what life could be like in this place is creatively expansive.
