Pretty powerful words that speak volumes, this is U-socialim, we humans are Authoritarian-social species. We, wolves, dolphins, chimps or lions or even to a degree wasps surprisingly cannot exist without alpha males or females, we cannot exist without autocratic authority (which is why Democracy is a lie). Termite or ant U-sociality is such an alien concept where you're literally born with instructions on your employment and anything you do in life is pre-programmed and you're just a slave of instinct, from the lowliest minima to a Queen or Drone.

Sure they are amazing and all but I would have liked to get insight on their defence capabilities, how their acid works, more about their feromone usage, social behaevior, forming of ventilation, predators and all kinds of stuff but this documentary touched the deep information very vaguely.
