Plot twist. What if wealthy humans are infected with these?
- iamcurious 5y agoInteresting. If that were true, you would see a sudden youthfulness in CEOs, like regaining lost hair.
- djrogers 5y agoBut they will be basically stoned, and won't care about working anymore, so they'll be ex-CEOs.
- jaywalk 5y agoUnless the people around them behave like the uninfected ants and just worship them 24/7.
- felipemnoa 5y agoI know a guy who elicits this sort of worship here in the USA.
- ChrisMarshallNY 5y agoLike "meths," from Altered Carbon?

- Apocryphon 5y agoWell, we already use botox.
- vmception 5y agoNot really pointing at wealthy humans but I would wager that there are a variety of probable microbe combinations that predictably influence human behavior Between toxoplasmosis from cats that give us more affinity to them at the expense of human relationships, and other unknown gut microbes, its very likely that even selfish behaviors or perhaps empathy are driven by these things Adds another dimension to the “nature” part of the nature vs nurture observation
- totetsu 5y agoThis bit was not too much of a stretch of the imagination.. "The uninfected workers in parasitized colonies, they realized, were laboring harder. Strained by the additional burden of their wormed-up nestmates, they seemed to be shunting care away from their queen. They were dying sooner than they might have if the colonies had remained parasite-free. At the community level, the ants were exhibiting signs of stress,"
