What does an ant do? When you mix two grains of sugar in a pile of sand, it discards the sand and hauls the grains of sugar. When an ant is able to discriminate so acutely, why are people so blunt in their intellect?

Why is that interesting? Ants do way cooler stuff than that.
I mean you are basically asking
>why can an ant find its food in a pile of nonfood.

yeah ants are pretty amazing

>Walk in the manner of the ant, O slacker;
>observe its ways and become wise.
>Without a commander,
>without an overseer or ruler,
>it prepares its provisions in summer;
>it gathers its food at harvest.

>Four things are small on the earth,
>But they are exceedingly wise:
>The ants are not a strong people,
>But they prepare their food in the summer;
>The rock hyraxes are not a mighty people,
>Yet they make their houses in the rocks;
>The locusts have no king,
>Yet all of them go out in ranks;
>The lizard you may grasp with the hands,
>Yet it is in kings’ palaces.

Because the ant's intelligence is exquisitely tuned for a small number of actions.

Mildly blunt instrument very broadly applicable. Very sharp instrument very narrowly applicable.

Proverbs tells us to look to the ant, as it has no manager and yet puts itself diligently to work.
