Dialogue: 0,0:00:10.16,0:00:14.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Six years ago, I walked away\Nfrom my six-figure dream job,

Dialogue: 0,0:00:24.40,0:00:27.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I had my conscious reasons\Nfor doing so at the time,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:28.42,0:00:31.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but I also had other reasons\Nthat I couldn't quite articulate.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:32.68,0:00:35.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Nowadays, I would say\Nthat I had a deep knowing,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:36.40,0:00:41.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and only now do I feel in a position\Nwhere I can explain it.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:41.75,0:00:43.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But first in order to do so,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:43.46,0:00:46.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I need to tell you about a few things \NI've learned in the meantime

Dialogue: 0,0:00:51.33,0:00:54.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So as a social entrepreneur\Nand social innovator,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:54.11,0:00:58.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I spend a lot of time thinking\Nabout co-opetition in the service economy.

Dialogue: 0,0:01:06.01,0:01:09.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's this interest that led me\Nto ant research
Dialogue: 0,0:01:09.04,0:01:11.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because ants work together.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:11.20,0:01:14.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And by no stretch of the imagination\Nam I a myrmecologist,

Dialogue: 0,0:01:18.42,0:01:22.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but I do find their research \Nreally intriguing and valuable,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:22.09,0:01:26.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I think that it has vast implications\Nfor both us and our systems.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:28.97,0:01:32.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So let me drop \Na few heavy ant stats on you.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:34.45,0:01:39.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, ants have been around \Nfor a hundred million years,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:39.01,0:01:40.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,since the time of the dinosaurs.

Dialogue: 0,0:01:51.18,0:01:53.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so they know something about surviving.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:56.97,0:02:00.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Ants actually constitute a quarter \Nor more of the animal biomass

Dialogue: 0,0:02:02.54,0:02:05.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which given the fact that\Nthey're a millionth the size of a human
Dialogue: 0,0:02:05.93,0:02:07.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is pretty amazing.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:08.66,0:02:11.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In fact, if you rewind\Nthe clock just 250 years,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:12.28,0:02:14.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,ants and humans\Nliterally weighed the same,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:14.95,0:02:17.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they counterbalanced us on the planet.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:17.23,0:02:20.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And still today, even though\Nwe've gotten better at procreating,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:22.49,0:02:24.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that's still largely true.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:24.34,0:02:26.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So while we're having\Nenvironmental impacts
Dialogue: 0,0:02:26.98,0:02:30.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and other sorts of things\Nthat we might not have intended,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:30.64,0:02:32.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,ants are quietly working \Nbehind the scenes,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:32.68,0:02:35.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,repairing forest floors, \Nthat sort of thing.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:37.22,0:02:40.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Ants can lift between 50 and 200 times\Ntheir own weight

Dialogue: 0,0:02:46.17,0:02:50.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But there's three specific lessons\Nthat I think we can look to ants for
Dialogue: 0,0:02:50.49,0:02:53.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that we can practically \Napply in our own lives.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:54.14,0:02:57.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The first is working together\Nto overcome obstacles
Dialogue: 0,0:02:57.66,0:03:01.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and particularly obstacles\Nthat we can't overcome on our own.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:04.46,0:03:08.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is a picture of fire ants,\Nand before I go any further

Dialogue: 0,0:03:15.90,0:03:18.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And, you know, probably you're right.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:18.34,0:03:21.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But there are 14,000 known species of ants
Dialogue: 0,0:03:21.79,0:03:24.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and many thousands more\Nthat haven't yet been classified.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:29.69,0:03:32.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Maybe sometimes, but so are some humans,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:33.17,0:03:35.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so don't paint them all\Nwith the same brush.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:35.92,0:03:37.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:03:37.46,0:03:40.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And with that, I will tell you\Nwhat this is a picture of.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:40.18,0:03:42.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is a fire ant raft
Dialogue: 0,0:03:42.91,0:03:46.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,during Hurricane Harvey\Nin Pearland, Texas.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:47.11,0:03:50.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,As you might expect,\Na flood is pretty threatening for ants,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:51.13,0:03:55.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and if they don't do something,\Nthey'll obviously drown.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:55.72,0:03:57.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So what they do is they build a raft,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:57.90,0:04:00.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and all the other fire ants\Ncan pile on top,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:00.54,0:04:07.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it's sustainable for between\None and three weeks.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:08.16,0:04:09.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If they tried to individually swim,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:09.93,0:04:12.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they're not going to swim\Nfor a week or three weeks,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:12.36,0:04:16.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and so by banding together,\Nthey can survive the flood, literally.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:17.84,0:04:20.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Here's another example\Nfrom a type of army ant.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:20.85,0:04:25.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When these ants encounter \Na chasm that they can't cross,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:25.57,0:04:30.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they form a living bridge with each other,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:30.09,0:04:33.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the rest of the ants\Ncan walk over the bridge and back
Dialogue: 0,0:04:33.90,0:04:36.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and accomplish whatever \Nthey were trying to do
Dialogue: 0,0:04:36.09,0:04:37.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,more effectively and efficiently.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:39.72,0:04:42.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In terms of practical applications for us,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:42.38,0:04:46.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think the problems that we feel\Nmost powerless to solve
Dialogue: 0,0:04:46.35,0:04:49.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are the ones where this comes into play.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:50.28,0:04:52.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They are systemic, structural problems,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:52.37,0:04:54.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,environmental problems, \Npolitical problems,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:54.62,0:04:57.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,social problems, economic problems.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:57.62,0:05:00.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And it's only through working together
Dialogue: 0,0:05:00.42,0:05:02.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that we can actually\Ndo something about those.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:04.31,0:05:10.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The second lesson is on leadership\Nand redefining our idea of leadership.

Dialogue: 0,0:05:24.93,0:05:27.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and they start pulling it\Nin a different direction.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:28.19,0:05:32.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Obviously, that ant is not as strong\Nas the other nine ants put together,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:33.23,0:05:36.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but they're confident and assured,\Nand they come in and they know something.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:36.80,0:05:39.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They start pulling\Nin that direction with conviction
Dialogue: 0,0:05:39.24,0:05:40.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the other ants follow them.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:41.82,0:05:43.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This video and the following video
Dialogue: 0,0:05:43.68,0:05:47.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are from Prof. Ofer Feinerman \Nat the Weizmann Institute of Science
