It is. [ he nods. ] In the wild, it's usually the strongest that makes the decisions. But in this case, the strongest is a group that is usually weak on its own. Like a group of ants or termites.

Maybe to humans in the city. But in the wild they're just as important as any other insect.

But in your example, if one person is stronger than the whole group? Like wouldn't a single human be stronger than a group of ants?

Wouldn't the minority group be stronger, instead of going with the majority?

I'm not sure why you're comparing humans and ants.
