+1 morality and ethics are human inventions which have no place in the world of animals ants are reflex machines driven by instincts, and once an ants behavior deviates far enough from the collective's it will be brutally murdered and possibly cannibalized natures a bitch
Lol, ants will definitely win if it came to an ants vs humans battle. They can ruin all our food, they can walk inside you when you sleep and eat you from the inside out. So many options.

Not to mention, they could just straight-up win in a fight. There's something like 100 times more ants BY MASS than humans on the earth. Can you fight off 100x your weight of anything? Nevermind little critters that can bite you and crawl in you and shit. Fuck that.
'One study of Odontomachus bauri recorded peak speeds of between 126 and 230 km/h (78 - 143 mph), with the jaws closing within 130 microseconds on average. The ants were also observed to use their jaws as a catapult to eject intruders or fling themselves backwards to escape a threat.'
This seems to me to be related to the philosophical zombie problem. ... Yeah, in fact I'm reading it exactly as the philosophical zombie problem. But I'm sure there's other ways of seeing it, too.

But what they lack are the brains to do any of that. Humans would win, no contest.
