Monoculture = Life in an Ant Colony

In Response To: THESE ANTS AIN'T PLAYIN NO BANJO BUBBA--RACIS ANTS (Robinhood)

It is interesting that you chose a group of ants to illustrate your thesis. Groups of "social insects" (ants, bees, wasps) have been likened to "superorganisms", with the individual insects acting more like cells in a body than like individual beings. While scientists today don't take that description too literally, it is certainy still true that ants, etc. have extremely limited intelligience. Their behavior is totally controlled by chemical signals, many secreted by the "queen". Sounds kind of like the NWO, or maybe the "Borg" on Star Trek.

Personally, I like living in a diverse society, with people from many different cultures. Variety, as they say, is the spice of life. I like trying new kinds of food, hearing new kinds of music, and learning about new, or at least different, philosophies of life. America would be a boring place without them.

I expect even you enjoy Chinese food from time to time. But even if you don't, you certainly use inventions that have been developed in various parts of the world. The Chinese invented paper, the magnetic compass, and gunpowder. The Indians developed (and the Arabs transmitted to the West) our system of numbers. Would you like to do math with Roman numerals? In the 20th century, the system of AC electric power, used universally to power our society, was devised by the Croatian Nikola Tesla. Edison's DC power system could only be used within a few miles of the power plant. (Yes, Croatia is in Europe - but somehow I expect Croatians are not widely represented in your "European-American" forum. Correct me if I'm wrong here.) And the medium we are now using, the World Wide Web (not "Nationwide" but "World Wide") was invented in Switzerland by Tim Berners-Lee, who I believe is half Chinese, or at least his name is.

Finally, those ants may be doing fine for now, but let some disease attack them, and they will all go down in one fell swoop, since there will be no diversity among their immune systems that would allow some to survive a disease that others might not. I remember reading about a species of lizards in the southwest that reproduced asexually, by parthenogenisis ("virgin birth") - mothers gave birth to identical daughters without sex, there were no males. For a number of years, these lizards seemed to out-compete their sexually-reproducing neighbors. Then a disease struck and wiped out nearly all of them. The sexually-reproducing species of lizard quickly rebounded from the disease-induced losses, but the parthenogenic ones never did, and very few of them exist today. A similar fate awaits your ants.
