This is the future our demon elites want: us living in the ideal city. You may not like it, but they will force every single one of us into compliance. These inhuman demonic individuals only seek peak civilization to make us easier to rule. https://t.co/19evZ3C172 https://t.co/h2P8LSKEPx

I promise I won't cannibalize you if the resources decline. What even gave you the idea that colonies use cannibalism and resource control to manipulate allegiance anyway?https://t.co/IMUNLEqrK4
"There are several other potential explanations for the evolution of worker policing behaviours that also have little to do with punishment of cheating. For example, workers may kill all eggs not laid by the queen as a defence against brood parasitism"https://t.co/tKMn3c07Wh
"reducing competition when prey is scarce should be balanced against possible costs. Loss of inclusive fitness as a result of killing and consuming a relative is one potential cost of cannibalism. Consequently, cannibalism of nonkin should be selected for"https://t.co/QyVJKp1H1f
"So when the female spiders get really old, even if they haven’t had offspring of their own, they decompose their own body and sacrifice themselves so the young can grow more rapidly. So they assist each other in parental care—suicidal parental care."https://t.co/8k8zQ8ziLZ

"Matriphagy was first described in the last century by the German arachnologist Ernst Kullmann, and an interesting observation was made by his student S. Nawabi, who suggested that the mother spider might actually digest her own tissues to feed her young." https://t.co/7tUAboIFcE

Death cults.https://t.co/3b1Bsm2eBj
Octopuses are slowly evolving toward hive based dynamics. This is fundamentally the same behavior we see among non-colony bees who build nests in shared spaces due to resource contention. It is of course adapted toward octopus's way of protecting their eggs using their own body. https://t.co/EILCYJg0KL

Have you considered starting a fertility cult?https://t.co/pwM9NtNC7Q
Have you considered building your houses out of literal feces like how a termite uses it's gut bacteria to create self-healing brick work?https://t.co/JCoOo3IYIq
Termites also practice a 'ritual form of cannibalism' that some might describe as soylent green.https://t.co/OmVI49nJfnGreat way to handle disease outbreaks by leveraging gut bacteria as a way to develop immunity.
The termites only do this to recently diseased. Just like humans."A recently bereaved widow had an arm bone, several rib bones and the complete hand of the late departed hanging on a string around her neck. She did not appear to mind the offensive odour"https://t.co/XoAoPymyYE
Did you know that humans have the *potential* to harbor some of the highest levels of stomach acid among mammals? I trolled @Evolving_Moloch about this once. Really good for ritual cannibalism to act as an ant-like behavioral immune system. https://t.co/HtWg6evMDA
@Evolving_Moloch "We expect that animals feeding on carrion will have the most restrictive filter, i.e. higher stomach acidity. Carrion has the potential to sustain high pathogen loads because the dead host’s body has stopped suppressing bacterial growth."https://t.co/Czk7TNCH2X
@Evolving_Moloch It's also fun to explore their ideas about men sequestering themselves off from women that shows up again and again across traditional cultures.I found some really awkward 'unexplained' biology things that might explain that behavior. https://t.co/ExYp0AN3iP
@Evolving_Moloch Also some fun ideas about weird initiation rights involved with eating organ meats of animals shows up. Its fascinating how often it involves eating Testicles. https://t.co/FdqCbQDTPR
Did you know that when boars get horny their saliva will sometimes trigger females to enter puberty? https://t.co/eImbGsWTiP
Its fascinating to me how often autistic types end up having higher rates of precocious puberty. Apparently gut bacteria might be involved. https://t.co/UbFWlS9InX
What happens if you eat organ meats full of collagens and bile, and immune boosting testicles as part of a ritual to enter manhood?Do you think that could literally trigger an acceleration of puberty?Did you even consider it a possibility before now?
"By swabbing abandoned chimpanzee nests [...] just 3.5 percent of the bacteria species present came from the chimps’ own skin, saliva, or feces. In human beds sampled in a previous study in North Carolina, the number was a whopping 35 percent." https://t.co/xzcTAsTqkD

I wonder if societies giving up their children is better than leaving a baby out to die in the elements. Why do apes have better luck raising their children if they go off into the wilderness for childbirth? A ritual of sacrifice transformed thru medical practice & social more.
We frame ostriches as "stellar dads", but neglect to mention that they steel children from other nests. It's like an extreme form of that thing penguins do.https://t.co/X15ST3y0UX

Huh."Males are more frequently involved in [Same-sex sexual] behavior in the laboratory than in the field, and isolation, high density, and exposure to female pheromones increase its prevalence."https://t.co/GQkqFbCTtU

Today I learned: Dragon flies have pinchers on their cloaca that they use to grab their mates, and also they breath thru their butts. https://t.co/r3MyTWFJGU

If you can smell smoke, there's probably a human nearby cooking food.https://t.co/Ir8AH8Bou9
@NamePresumably @ballofgame some moths are attracted to the smell of the death of their conspifics because the odds are there is food. These chemicals are called Necromones.Moths are evolving to not fly toward light as much. Light is a Kairomone. The moths are looking to eat the moon.
The human necromone is the smell of roses.https://t.co/ZP60kths8whttps://t.co/wl9gs8TjUH

There's a species of social spider that, when isolated from it's nest mates for a long period of time, reverts back to an individualist behavior.Could social reward pathways atrophy? Is it possible that 'going feral' is about gene *expression*?https://t.co/3ULZoRwYz2

Herd Immunity also involves behavioral changes that make the group resistant to reinfection and disease burden.Even ants and bees isolate themselves to avoid epidemics, and they self medicate with different flowers and modulat their gut bacteria to help fight it.Stop.

@utotranslucence Successful nomadic types seem to be more resilient to failures. By minimizing coupling with systems of a society, they also minimize risks associated with creating one. They can 'exit' before bad patterns take hold.TL;DR: Vanlife is the new frontier wagon.
