I was exploring herd immunity in ants before it was cool.Watching our entire collective societies meltdown over this topic is absolutely maddening.https://t.co/HfUcPCKc65
Ya'll, using shame mechanisms is just creating culture divides.https://t.co/Ia1pnjT3KL
Seeds of doubt from lived experience makes appeals to authority fall flat. Then you got this subculture of ridicule that really only serves to drive more animosity here. All this does is erode trust in the medical establishment further.But don't let me rain on your hate parade.
I hate everything. So I'm going to go look up cannibalism among sheep.https://t.co/IeEpgV0Y4l
A meta-play: if you end up getting shamed for it but understand herd-immunity. Don't say anything. Pretend that you are outraged. You can use the unfair vitriol levied against as a costly signal to the anti-v*x community, thus able to spread ideas meaningfully.Trojan Horse.
I got a bad case of politics right now.https://t.co/agl0EpIMJQ

The more eusocial the ant species the more this anti-aging effect seems to occur. I suspect it's because the more they operate with shared-stomachs and collective immune systems, the less their body actually matters. They act more like body cells committing apoptosis when sick.
I want to be an ant.https://t.co/QZKGWIlVd7
No, I take that back. Talk to me about herd immunity so I can inject memes about cannibalism into your head and keep you up at night. Then you can know what non-24-hour disorder feels like.https://t.co/aEjE5V8OSO
