civilization


I do not know what economic strategy Ants apply to motivate its workers and army to create an underground infrastructure and destroy other ant hills of their civilizations and collect their treasure of food and eggs. It can’t be very different from what we human conceive and engage in. Ants do not need theories, books, universities, political systems of any kind, or religion - they know that in their life span of several days.
We humans in the evolution have achieved highest in idiocy among all livings.

Three Truths

The ... are known as Seekers of Truth - the knowledge of Reality. Rudarigh, a great lord of Murcia Spain, decided to possess this Truth. He sought out Omar el-Alawi of Tarragona and brought him to his court and said, "I order you to tell tell the truths which you know and must be told in manner I understand, otherwise your life is forfeit." Omar asked, "Do you observe in your court when an arrested person tell truth in answer to a question that the truth does not incriminate him, and he is released to freedom?"
