The Portuguese man-of-war are like jellyfish, but they are not, sometimes they appear as pests on the beaches, they are not jellyfish, they are a colonial organism, a synophore, it is made up of a colony of individuals and each individual specializes in something, some make the bag, others the tentacles, but it is not exactly an animal, it is a colony, it is a collaboration between individual beings.
It is called that because it looks like the caravels that existed in the 15th century, they can measure more than 40 cm, but it also has a head or float and tentacles or fishing filaments, and the latter can reach up to 50 meters in length and are where the poison is, the sting, which is very painful, rarely fatal, but it is very painful, although well, if you have respiratory problems or allergies or some other health problem, it can be extremely dangerous, so normally in these cases you have to close it. the beaches.
The interesting thing is that it is an organism made up of individuals who have specialized, have collaborated, and this brings us to the topic of collaboration, individualism in the end in nature is not always beneficial, in fact, collaboration tends to be more beneficial, as we see here, and in reality we ourselves are the origin of single-celled “beings” that at a given moment decided to collaborate to create greater beings with more capacity to do more things and go further.
Collaboration will be another of the forces of nature. Could it be another of those forces with which we could combat that theory of the dark forest, of terrifying individualism, of fear of another possible civilization that wants to exterminate us? Maybe collaboration is more positive, I bet
for collaboration.
