++Each termite colony is a gene-pool organized into castes which sends out explorer-migrants to found new mini-worlds.++

Those who wish to preserve urban civilization should study the insect hive. The word termite comes from the Latin word termes—which means the end. The end-point of terrestrial society is the hive.

++The growth of urban civilization during the last 5000 years is a steady move toward insectivization.++

+++The well-run anthill is 99,995,000 years ahead of humanity in efficient social organization.+++

+++A hive is a joyful, clean Manhattan with 8 million secure citizens moving in tune with the humming unity.+++

++++Humanity cannot grow beyond the Insectoid Stage until it understands precisely how the social insects are ahead of us in terrestrial culture.++++--~~From ''The Intelligence Agents'' by Tim Leary~~,,
