global swarming – the science of the antz
The ant is near: andcompany&Co. are in the middle of a transformation: soon they will become ANTCOMPANY. But what is so fascinating to them about these little bugs? Individually they may be dumb, but together they are super smart – a super organism: the “secret world power”! And they are correspondingly entrusted with a lot: if they don’t end up saving the climate (and with it humanity), then their progeny will certainly become the dominant civilisation on this planet. Or haven’t algorithms already long since transformed human society into a gigantic colony of ants (ant-based algorithms)? Is this phase IV, the transition to a hyperintelligence? The earth as the sole “super organism”? While humans are paused in a frenzied standstill, they become militant: electro-ants cause short circuits in factories. It is high time to make contact in order to make common cause against fossil fuel-dependent catastrophe capitalism: two species, one goal: CANCEL INDUSTRIAL CO2! ANTiFA ACTION AGAINST FOSSIL FASCISM!
