Following Justine's thesis: Do you mean that you feel you're an extreme person, like Musk, you must be what you are, which means that happiness is more or less beside the point? Or the opposite: that you're a non-extreme person, and feel that you're focusing too much on success and not enough on happiness?

Your statement couldn't be farther from the truth (or you forgot the /sarcasm tag?). Watch "Moon Machines" mini-series (6 episodes), with many interviews of the engineers behind the Apollo program. They were all working crazy hours, many divorced during the project because of work/family imbalance.

From Justine Musk, Elon Musk's wife during those times:

"Extreme success results from an extreme personality and comes at the cost of many other things. Extreme success is different from what I suppose you could just consider 'success', so know that you don't have to be Richard or Elon to be affluent and accomplished and maintain a great lifestyle. Your odds of happiness are better that way. But if you're extreme, you must be what you are, which means that happiness is more or less beside the point."

I find this research a bit suspicious:

1. The authors do not provide a single complete video of the experiment, only very short 5-15 seconds fragments.

2. The papers lack detailed experimental procedures and protocol description (compared to a typical paper from Nature on the same subject).

3. The papers are published in seemingly unrelated journals, which may not have the adequate know-how to do peer review of such experiments: Electronic Transactions on Artificial Intelligence, IEEE Information Theory Society Newsletter, etc. If the behavior described is real, it is highly notable, I would expect at least one paper published in Nature by the authors.

4. The only videos available are short fragments, where 1 ant is seen crossing a single (1) left/right branch. Why not film an entire ant path, which according to paper should last about 100-200 seconds?

I also checked both author's pages: http://boris.ryabko.net/papers.html http://reznikova.net/Publications.html

Is this specific counting and communication capability independently confirmed by other research groups?
