So many conclusions from the asch conformity experiment doesn't take into account natural diversity among human swarms.https://t.co/jLe8YCAgk0
Have the conformity experiments been reproduced in contexts other than "Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic" demographic? Further, do they include neruodiverse participants?So many psych studies assume they play no role in society's mastication of thought.
I wonder what the rates of social conformity is among ant colonies and bee hives, and how that changes over time in response to environment cues and resource density, and other aspects that would affect foraging ability and adaptive homeostasis.Ants are not identical clones.
Queen ants of most species will often collect moe than one drone's semen, and perhaps selective remix their children in some kind of adaptive manner.And even if they were clones, this doesn't tell you much about their behavior variation.https://t.co/zognbYdaK7
Sometimes ants *ARE* identical clones, and the clones castes fight over each other by manipulating the development and selection of genetic material.https://t.co/TxnWFXyClMhttps://t.co/bCVcfCA0Xv
Sometimes, the symbiosis loses, and the ant collective finds a different niche.https://t.co/nyoZjgvASOIt's a perpetual battle.https://t.co/ZwEk9BW9lh
@coyote_cares @eigenrobot I'd say by 20 years out we'll have selection for personalized microbiomes + bacteria that produce that kind of protein affecting development trajectories.We become ants, modulating castes thru exogenisis and nutrient brine. Embryos just one aspect.https://t.co/OPBTVVHUcI
You viewing these forces as fixed is what will lead to the collapse of your particular niche. Adaptation and change is the meta-stable dynamic.https://t.co/oniP68zaPF

"The queen keeps a lifetime’s store of sperm in an abdominal structure called a spermatheca, from which hundreds of thousands of eggs are fertilised. The drones, meanwhile, die in a day or two." https://t.co/VBKIlUoRrvDrones, following their mimetic programming: to their doom.
hah, hahaha HAHAHAAHhttps://t.co/uYDcFRo9ZUI bet I already know how this works.
Time to look up the immune system of spontaneous gender bending fishes just to piss everyone off.https://t.co/GwehLcvg6T
Want more male children? Have your immune system impaired & get infected with T Gondii to trigger a system cascade that drives Testosterone production."Women infected with parasite Toxoplasma have more sons." [2006] https://t.co/JvK3LfCpZoyep.https://t.co/eeg7C0hxL7
Breeding threads of ideas together, like one does.Risk processing at the swarm level regulated by immune function, impacting immune active steroids (testosterone, estrogen, vitamin D) all derived from cholesterol.https://t.co/18Kv7W8SZz
Lol, get rekthttps://t.co/syWttmRCtf
Oh, why hello there t gondii. What are you doing in a system that changes risk tolerance and fear response? You're in there changing Adrenergic signaling by action on cortisol homeostasis and the immune system? Why you doing that?https://t.co/HCRXf6yacIhttps://t.co/VMYzmSa7PO
"The unbiased sex ratio at conception, the increase in the sex ratio during the first trimester, and total mortality during pregnancy being greater for females are fundamental insights into early human development." [2015]https://t.co/kWxmgDygbv
One wonders why we obsess over genes and not environmental factors associated with resource and disease burden that impact gene expression and organism survival. Both change. Both are modifiable.They dance.https://t.co/ANFJGNj3OU
Why would you even ask "what gender is an ant *colony*"?Why would even think to model gender as an abstract model of the immune expression of a complex cellular bivouac responding to homeostatic stresses existing as a cohesive unit in spacetime?https://t.co/c7WDnsllYk
What gender is an ant colony?No.What proportion of an ant colony's alates are flying sperm machines, and what proportion are reproductive MCVs. And does that differ in ant species with gamergates (reproductive workers)? And does it vary thru thru time?https://t.co/OJs3WG3mmj
