Conformity

If you see an ant going about his daily life he may look a bit crazy, zig zagging here and there. If you see two ants they might zig zag in slightly different directions but ultimately get to the same place. If you see a colony of ants they all zig zag in the same direction, form a trail, and march along a clear path from A to B.

Is this why humans feel so compelled to conform? Because we don't want to feel like one crazy little ant zig zagging all over the place with no destination in sight?

And what if the two little ants zig zag in the same direction, and don't care about the destination?
