I anticipated the ant colony objection, though the aphid part is interesting and can definitely be used as a means to say animal domestication for the purpose of farming is natural. In terms of ant colony size, relative to total population it's not nearly as impressive or massive as LA or NY. Not to mention an entire civilization, such as the United States. Add in the complexity of networks (communication, plumbing, infrastructure, social hierarchy, specialization of labor, etc), ant colonies and human countries are not in the least bit comparable.


lol@pulling a wool over my eyes. 1. never said anything about serial killers (the act of killing is a naturally occurring phenomenon) 2. baseless comments about me indicates a lack of valid things to say on your behalf.

it could be argued that we aren't on the level of ants. they communicate through smells and shit right? how can we even wrap our human brains around there existence and try and compare them?

the only valid thing said in this debate is that everything is natural. you dont accept that because in your human brain, humans are important. we can't just be another organism on this rock doing its thing. we do this and that, and THIS. how many countless things do animals do that we don't? we live. we adapt. shit happens. its all natural.

everything just IS.
