Hey Boxxy,
Welcome. I too had too google Boxxy, as it is a meme I was unfamiliar with... I like memes, they are a very interesting phenomenon.
I liked what you said about the ant analogy, it is a nice way of describing the matter of scale. I think you might at least appreciate my similar analogy... What about the microscopic world? There is an entire universe of matter and function and systems that we cannot sense or know without our tools of science. It is not a different world, if is actually our reality in entirety, they are the same thing, the microscopic and the human scale macroscopic worlds. Is it then possible to conceive (or foolish to assume a lack of) another higher scale of our perceivable reality that we cannot sense or know without certain tools, but that is only different from us in scale, in size? I could go on and on about our symbiotic relationships with many, many organisms inside of our bodies and their relationship to us as analogy... mini-Gaia theory meets macro-Gaia... Blah blah blah.
Anyways, I am a terrible rambler, thank you and welcome.
