In a study released online on July 22 in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society: Biological Sciences, researchers at Arizona State University and Princeton University show that ants can accomplish a task more rationally than our – multimodal, egg-headed, tool-using, bipedal, opposing-thumbed – selves. The key in this 'rationality' is that ants don't know much and thus achieve rather speedy collective decisions. We distract ourselves with all kinds of dross like religion outside science and endlessly discuss irrelevance in rationalisation long after we have decided to ignore evidence that doesn't suit us. In the science versus religion debates we should have noticed long ago that some people make money out of the activity and that if we engaged ourselves in creating peaceful societies something else would matter rather than talking about stuff we can't settle.
