Individual humans are like individual termites; ineffectual and short-lived.

I meant individual more like "one on one", than rugged individualist.

The point stands, though.  Humans are not designed to operate as single units, even socially.  Problem with THAT, though, is the 8 person rule.

Well, thats the thing... single humans may not be so hot, but big groups of them are worse.

I dunno.  I am a city mouse.  I operate better amongst millions of people.  I know my standard of living is higher this way.

And yeah, problems also magnify, but I think the benefits far outweigh them.

Crowds would be fine, if it weren't for all the people.

Think of it instead as a target-rich environment.

That's a whole other can of wasps.

This may be my final failing of Ingress... I don't really want to hang out and go on raids with groups.
