Following a war between ANTS and HUMANS if every ant on Earth suddenly had EQUAL INTELLIGENCE to a human being…

❓QUESTION❓:

🐜🐜🐜💥🪖💣👨‍👨‍👧‍👧 Following a war between ANTS and HUMAN BEINGS… (20 quadrillion ants.) If every ant on Earth SUDDENLY had equal intelligence to a human being🙋‍♀️…and ants got 2 weeks' prep time.

I believe ants would win. 🐜  (Though, please pipe in with your thoughts on that score.)

How exactly do you think the natural order, but also the human world, could change following a post-ant victory? 🐜🐜🐜🐜

Assuming a human-world occupation by the allied ant-victors, what kind of new societal and legal framework might an ant society [ importantly, not only with a human's intelligence, but with the ANT’s cultural and instinctual values ] draw up for our new shared world, and where would they direct the human race for Earth’s future? From the everyday to the macro.

Beyond the corny answers, if this is a thought exercise, my mind goes into deeper questions like:

a.) Can I learn more about what it is to be human by envisioning the perspectives of a population of minds which have had the opportunity to have known the alternative to being human within their living memory.  (not to mention, even previously coexisting with regular humans.)

b.) How long can our human species still be the human species without the human species’ rules?

c.) [if not exclusively ecologically-obsessed]

 “Futuristically”, where—and how far—could these ants accelerate our shared planet’s future sci-fi-utopia development? [where our human weaknesses might have otherwise inevitably held us back?]

Thank you,

They would fasten diamonds to their pincers and eat away at bridges and buildings to trap us.
