    Don’t fall into this nihilistic bullshit, if humans weren’t capable of learning we wouldn’t be here in the first place. This narrative isn’t true and doesn’t help. It’s all invented by religions of old to better control humanity, and it wasn’t true then and isn’t true now

        I am not an expert on insectology or beeology, I don’t actually know do they learn or not. An emergent entity of a hive seems to be learning better than the individual insect, but we’re learning so much about them even now, I don’t feel comfortable to make any speculations.
        I know about mammals a bit more, and know that humans do learn, but the hive mind learning works worse than in hiving insects.

            Boy if you really think that, you’re drinking so much cool-aid it’s dripping from your other end already. That’s terrifying in their own right.

                There are two possible explanation to this phenomenon come to mind. Either everyone is stupid zombie, and you’re the only one smart, intelligent, capable, uniquely so. Or, you, like a significant portion of non-qualified interviewers, suck at conducting the interview process which gives you an illusion that everyone is stupid and you’re smart, and you don’t want to do anything about it because being uniquely smart gives you good feelings that you don’t want to shatter.
