That is, colony-level cognition may be real, not metaphorical. Ant colonies:
- integrate information over time
- exhibit memory (via pheromone landscapes)
- solve optimisation problems
- adapt flexibly to novel conditions
- show something like attention (resource …

Just my luck to be visiting Antigua and Dominica on day #Drumpf admin declares the two islands as subject to US Travel Ban?

Antigua and Dominica PMs Respond to US Travel Ban - IMI Daily
Antigua PM calls US travel ban an error, says program presents no risk whatsoever to security. Dominica seeks urgent clarity.

Watched Solar Opposites, a cartoon started by Justin Roiland like Rick and Morty with lots in common.
Including Roiland being kicked out after a couple of seasons for his crimes, and being replaced. This time not with an impersonator but just a new more british actor. Stayed pretty much in vibe with his style though.
Four aliens stuck on earth, plus the adventures of the tiny people that one of the aliens shrunk to keep in his wall like an ant farm. And the Silver Cops.
Pretty good fun. Watched the five seasons on Netflix in a couple of weeks. Apparently there's another if I search or wait.
Interesting how the machine can just keep churning it out even when the lead folks disappear. That's the ideal I suppose. Create the show then let it run on without you.
