Ant’s World View
November 25th, 2007The interesting thing about suicide bombers is this: that they are so dedicated to their community - islam, anarchism in a former time - that they kill themselves for it.
Let us distinguish the practice from the mechanisms by which they are persuaded. The mechanism requires a world view - a belief in the supernatural, in an afterlife, in unseen powers around us which we must placate, a belief in a greater good.
What persuades the ants to kill themselves for their community? Do ants have a world view?
