Did they learn faster or just move faster and therefore discover information faster?
Edit: could have answered my own question with a little reading.
The ants who received low or moderate doses of caffeine took a more direct path to the sweet treat with each trial, suggesting they had successfully remembered the location of the reward. Ants without caffeine took more meandering paths that did not improve over time. Galante emphasises that this isn’t about making the ants move faster, but more efficiently: caffeine had no impact on the ants’ pace but did reduce the twists and turns they took to get there.<

It’s a very good point. There is always someone hurt when people have their backs turned on them as a monolith. I can’t say that the number LGBTQ+ people born to right wing fascists is any higher than the rest of the population so it’s hard to feel like I was targeting them particularly. I will say that anyone who is born into conservativism and doesn’t fit their mold will bear an extraordinary burden. It’s a bad idea to include children. If you grow up to be a bigot or fascist, however, your fair game to fuck right off to Texas.
