I think that's the idea: recognize, analyze, contain, save lives.

Dude, I write the checks, I assure you: the importer pays, no one else. I import the stuff, I pay at the port, I get my stuff. Now I take my wildly expensive stuff back to my building and try to stay in business. Whatever macro economic stories might be playing out, it starts with an American business paying a fat tax to get his materials.

Indeed, I think Steven Jay Gould said that the jury is still out on whether intelligence has proved a successful trait for humans, given that we have been around for barely eye blink on evolutionary time scales.

Pardon if this is a dumb question, but does this thing look like it could decode and play MP3 files? With a little power left over for a simple user interface? I'm interesting in making a specialized MP3 player of sorts.

Yes, like what if there is an existing chemical signal for "climb up." the fungus might emit that signal and then just ride along, without any understanding of how that happens. Because it works, those fungus do better than ones that gave a different signal. After a while, it gives the "bite" signal and hopefully, the ant has already climbed up. Voila, the ant has served the fungus. So maybe some pretty simple steps result in an effect that appears carefully planned?
