The point was that some critters have nore than one brain.  That was all that was meant. Nothing further was said or implied.

> And it is anything BUT "anarchy" - just as in a city, all the bees in a hive generally follow "the rules"

What is anarchy anyhow?  Is it an absolute?  Is it a useful model for contrast, or a strawman in this discussion?  Can anachists not co-operate?  Problem is that anarchy, like democracy, is unstable.

We see often bees in hive working at counterpurposes and individual bees operating apparently independenty.   Is that anarchy?  

Someone mentioned how our civilization is just now (re)learning that decision making takes place at other locations besides the brain and the brain may in fact be a slave to other parts of the body.  If in doubt, just go to a bar on Friday night.
