Ampulex Wasps Enslave the Cockroach in the Same Way That the Mind Ensnares Us
A Philosophical Perspective for Better Understanding the Mind
The unusual genesis of an article
The onset of this article is rather peculiar. While stemming from the philosophical investigative premise I have been mining for several weeks, seeking to elucidate Vedanta Philosophy through juxtaposition with microbiology, a genuine short circuit sparked from music this time. I was surveying the musical frontiers of “Neurohop,” lending an ear to the album “Marble Hunting” by the artist Tipper, whilst perusing parasitoid insects. Then, in hearkening to the track “Rancid Shuff,” almost suddenly, its equally disquieting sounds akin to buzzing made me ponder how our minds often mimic parasitoid insects taking charge of us, rendering us mere puppets. It is not microbiology in this case, but I think entomology is equally interesting.
Thank you for reading, and enjoy listening to the aforementioned track embedded below.
