"Sneaky beetles evolved disguise to look like ants, then eat them"
Like I've said before, slave-makers who are open (on level-2) that they are slave-makers are like slave-maker ants.1 They view civilized FS-types as regular ants to be enslaved.
Slave-makers who pretend to be the level-2 "friends and family" of civilized FS-types remind me of beetles who have evolved to look like ants in order to eat their young:2
"It’s one of the sneakiest ploys that has ever evolved. Rove beetles blend seamlessly into army ant societies, but instead of helping out, they devour the young of their unsuspecting companions.
Additionally, Fernology asserts that certain types of consciousness are intrinsic and manifest through a material medium like the human mind. Thus, Fernology supports the concept of convergent evolution. The findings of Parker and Maruyama also support convergent evolution:
"Parker discovered the phenomenon with his colleague, Munetoshi Maruyama of Kyushu University Museum in Fukuoka, Japan. He says the finding challenges arguments by famous palaeontologist and author Stephen Jay Gould and others that completely different creatures would evolve if the evolutionary clock was restarted from scratch."3

"It’s one of the sneakiest ploys that has ever evolved. Rove beetles blend seamlessly into army ant societies, but instead of helping out, they devour the young of their unsuspecting companions.
The deceit is so successful that it has independently evolved in at least 12 parasitic rove beetle species – a phenomenon called convergent evolution.
The beetles’ entire body shape evolved to resemble the army ants they prey on, and they smell and act like the ants too. They even go marching on raids with them."3
Slave-makers pretending to be civilized FS-types serve no useful purpose. They are solely parasitic. |
