In response to the ethical turn toward non-human agents, we suggest that project participants temporarily abandon the idea of their species’ superiority and, by analogy with language tests like TOEFL and IELTS, undergo a test for deanthropocentralization that assesses their abilities as insects. To perceive the living experience of other creatures, humans need to avoid anthropocentric thinking. If this can be done, principles such as eusociality in social insects – if adopted by people – can become a source of positive change in our world.
