What we need to teach them is the democratic voting for a new queen instead of exploiting the workers, by hanging on to their dated imperialist dogma, which perpetuates the economic and social differences in their society. One queen laying eggs and give birth to everyone is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate of the masses, not from some mass egg-laying ceremony.

There's 4 "and"s in that sentence. For some reason I expected better sentence structure from a librarian.

It's a perfectly valid stylistic choice for a silly sentence like this.

Ants are the OG cooperative agent algorithms. Simulating ants use of pheromones to implement stigmergy path finding is a classic computer science algorithm.
