Imagine you were reborn as a female queen ant with an expected lifespan of about 15 years (worker ants live about half a queen’s timespan), and had the ambition to make the most of your tiny new life. And you got to keep your current intellectual capacity and knowledge.

How much could you achieve as an ant?

    Depends on whether I also get the knowledge on living as an ant, as a queen, in a colony.

    Hardest thing would be predators.

    I suppose the best I could do would be to find something to write with, like dirt or ink, and a scrap of paper, and “walk” some words along a page, hopefully notify a good human that I was an intelligent/human ant - and from there I’d be at the mercy of capitalism…
