- Most human and animal teams suffer from the Ringelmann effect: individuals contribute less the more the team grows
- Weaver ants avoid the Ringlemann effect as they work in a team to fold leaves into nest chambers
- A study showed that weaver ants use division of labor to not only avoid the Ringlemann effect but to achieve super efficiency
Are ant colonies one of the best displays of what a communist state could look like?
I hope people in a communist state won’t dump you onto the garbage pile just because you smell bad.
You say that now but go to a magic the gathering tournament and you’ll change your tune
“Danmit, Antony, I keep telling you I ain’t garbage! I’m just the groundskeeper.”
And you choose to stay there until you stop smelling dead.
