I know right! It was a super interesting rabbit hole of mine while writing this to discover how boids simulations work, I'm personally very interested in whatever the mathematics of simple rules giving rise to complex and chaotic systems is. It'd be very interesting to do an article about the population dynamics and such of locusts (esp tying into general math).

I love what a gnash equilibrium (I think) it is of their behavior - and really funny, the constant march of canibalism haha

Absolutely - Right Wing core theorem is that people work as individuals - competition brings out the best, only the fittest/fastest/strongest will survive.
