“Man is a scientific creature; he labels his ignorance and shelves it: it bores him, but when he has given a name to any appearance then the mystery flies away, and reality alone remains for his cogitation. We have arranged to label faculties of imagination and prophesy among lesser creatures Instinct, and with this label we have thrown overboard more mystery than we could afford to live with. Later these may confront us again in our proper souls, and the wonder and terror so long overdue will compel our tardy obeisance. “
The safest place in the world for pedovores right now is military custody.
The use of an array of tactics to baffle the perception in conflict is not new, nor is the strategy confined to the human species. Predators who exploit the perceptual deficiencies of prey are common in nature. As human hunters wear camouflage, spread scents and simulate game calls to imitate prey animals, Paussid beetles forge chemical signals, blinding ant species they prey on to their presence among them in the nest. A famous human group employed similar tactics. Hasan ibn Sabah’s Assassins.
Ibn Sabah allegedly learned his art of mind control from priests of the mysteries in Egypt, but whatever the origin of the tactics, the Assassins used hypnotic induction, symbolism, stage magic and drugs create a belief system which insured 100 % loyalty and instant compliance with leader’s instructions. Nation state rulers have great difficulty securing large numbers of people willing to die on command.
Hasan al Sabah’s Assassins prospered for 300 years and spread their agents through the middle east because they could create adherents who would raise families, live amongst the opponent for 30 years, and remain loyal and instantly obedient to leader’s orders – even when ordered to commit assassinations certain to result in capture and execution.
Some beetles are walking organic chem labs, they synthesize explosives, chemical warfare agents, sex changing molecules – ‘’’they read and write the language of the victims perceptions.’’’
"Ant-nest beetles (Paussus) are the quintessential Trojan horses of the insect world. ‘’’They hack the complex communication system of ants, allowing them to blend into the ant society and be treated as royalty, all the while preying upon the ants and the ants' brood and duping the ants into rearing their young. ‘’’
How would we transpose this pattern. To what other species might this apply?
…Here we present results of the first molecular-based phylogeny of ant-nest beetles, which reveals that this symbiosis has produced one of the most stunning examples of rapid adaptive radiation documented to date.
‘’’A very successful strategy. ‘’’
Human beings perceive only a narrow band of visible light wave lengths and hear only a narrow range sound frequencies. Not one human in a million recognize the large blind spot in the middle of our visual field until it is demonstrated to us. We're never suspect our sense are not all there is, or other species could possibly take advantage of our limited perception.
