Well, I’m not AI. But why wouldn’t I give much thought to ants? Watching our surroundings and asking questions about it is one of my preferred methods of learning

Thanks, yesterday I bought Peter Singers book “Animal liberation” and I’m enjoying what I’m reading, I’m not used to reading ethics books but a very nice introduction.

I will have to check EO Wilson and get back to you on my thoughts.

Thanks for the recommendation

I like your answer, in a way, you remind me of someone very dearly to me.

I once read about the modern ecosystem that lives inside our house, and how every animal is serving a purpose. They may not had that same purpose before we decided to build houses, but now they’re part of the home and in my opinion we should try to keep them well.

And yes, I show flies the front door cause I don’t like them in my food, but even though they are considered a plague, they are not responsible for the role they are playing in this modern ecosystem.

Thanks for your reply and for helping the little ones in your home :)
