Did you know some ants explode themselves to protect the colony?

Did you know?

Ants

En la antigua Tailandia, una sociedad profundamente jerárquica, los elefantes blancos eran sagrados y pertenecían al rey. Regalar uno a un noble era un gran honor, pero también una forma de control social. Estos animales, al no trabajar, suponían un gran coste, impidiendo a quien los recibía ascender en la jerarquía. Así, el elefante blanco, símbolo de estatus, reforzaba el orden social. Esta metáfora cultural contrasta con la visión occidental del "elefante blanco" como algo inútil y costoso. En este podcast, exploramos el profundo significado jerárquico de esta figura y su relevancia en la cultura tailandesa, incluso hoy. Descubre cómo esta metáfora, con su carga jerárquica, nos ayuda a entender las dinámicas interculturales.
