"The Case for Giant Ants: Why ants could probably become huge if just given the chance and why we should be happy about this."

This talk will cover:

* The versatility of exoskeletons and why they can be large. * The breathing problem and ways around it. * How Giant Ants could help people. * What is "giant" for an ant? 10cm ants might still be "small" but really they are also "huge" * Psychological barriers: how anti-ant sentiment inhibits our imagination.

Welcome to my TED talk etc. etc.

🇧🇷 — Acho que vou começar a mostrar alguns esboços e estudos para poder postar arte com mais frequência. Então aqui está uma formiga-cortadeira! Mais especificamente, da espécie acromyrmex subterraneus. Mais especificamente ainda, a espécie da protagonista do livro de xenoficção que estou escrevendo. 🐜🍃

🇺🇸 —  I think I'll start showing some sketches and studies so I can post art more frequently. So here's a leafcutter ant! More specifically, an acromyrmex subterraneus ant. Even more specifically, the species of the protagonist from the xenofiction book I'm writing. 🐜🍃

I don't think it should be weird, for me to put a fruit fly outside

Could you please do a Bulldog Ant stimboard but with the most aggressive, batshit insane, stupid stims possible? I'm thinking glass getting shattered, dogs biting at the screen, all that

I've done bulldog ant before but this was too fucking funny to not do 😭

Are Humans Self-Aware?

Ants have often tested humans for self awareness. They placed objects in our homes and were shocked we didn't cover them in sand.

"Although humans build interesting nests & show signs of cooperation, can they really have rich inner lives like ants? Unlikely."

They laid pheromone trails & we ignored them.

"Even a newly eclosed callow or a termite could have followed these trails! Human intelligence is perhaps similar to that of a lichen... or perhaps an aphid at best."
