So fire ants, those f*%ckers that always bite you in the leg. They often have their nest in the sun because it helps them regulate the nest temperature. Good for birth rates etc. But eventually a tree or plants grows and then the nest in shadow and their numbers decline. Ants follow scent trails. So if they smell that a previous ant walked there, they are inclined to take that route. The stronger the scent, the better. Whenever there is food for example, one ant follows the next ant and that's why there's some in your soda that you left outside There is a certain, rare ant, only like <1% of the population, that doesn't do that and just moves without scent trails. We call this the "crazy ant". And at some point, he walks somewhere near a sunny spot for a new nest and thinks "omg nice!". The next thing the crazy ant does is to walk back to the nest and find his closest ally, the "hipster ant" (<5%or smth). He tries to get those "hipster ants" to join and check out the new spot, but other ants think "no wtf this is a weak scent trail, I'm not going there mate." So that crazy ant (seriously) picks up the hipster ants, carries them all the way and drops them down on new spot. Initially the hipster ants freak out and run back, but in the process, they make that scent trail stronger. Now, other hipster ants start to follow the trail. And because all the hipster ants are chilling in the new spot, and start digging and moving stuff to mark the new nest spot, there are the next category, the "fit ants" that also start arriving to the new nest spot. They start building. And once things start to be established, the rest of the nest population moves over. We call those the "normie ants". And before you know it, the entire nest has been moved to a better spot and the entire colony is doing good again. CONCLUSION is that the entire colony survived because there was ONE crazy ant. Nobody believed him. But through sheer willpower, he rescued the entire colony. So here's the thing: Whenever you meet the human version of a crazy ant, watch closely and follow them. You never know, it might be the best decision ever. We need these crazy and hipster ants in our society, too. Most often, we think they're weird and stupid at first. And then, after their genius move, we realize they weren't so stupid after all.
