Who's Shaking The Jar?

Let’s begin with a little science—my favorite kind of science: the kind that makes everyone uncomfortable while simultaneously making too much sense.
There’s an experiment—simple, almost childlike. You take black ants and red ants, drop them into the same jar. At first? Harmony. Ant utopia. They stroll around, minding their own buggy business. No turf wars. No tiny ant politicians screaming at each other on ant television.
But then… someone shakes the jar.
Suddenly, the black ants think the red ants started it.
The red ants think the black ants started it.
Chaos. Ant carnage. Six-legged mayhem.
And the real question—the one the ants never stop to ask—is:
“Hey… who shook the jar?”
Spoiler alert: It wasn’t the ants.
