No? No religiously fanatical mites devoted to fulfilling my whim?
Humans did build the pyramids, after all. Humans have evolved basic
survival and kin/offspring protection instincts. Why would evolving
mites that bonded to me, rather than their children, never be possible,
or universally reduce their intelligence to less than useful levels? As
far as I can tell intelligence is one thing; motivations are another.
Different combinations should be possible.

Do not look upon this glass,
Lest your soul from this world pass
This legend burned upon its case
You dare not see the mirror's face.
