Why are hiveminds called hiveminds? Bees don't work that way. They communicate by pheromones and dancing, not psychic powers

They communicate by pheromones and dancing, not psychic powers because to a high level observer, bees or ants appear to behave as if each individual creature is merely an appendage of a single decentralized intelligence formed by the entire colony as a whole it's one of those terms that isn't really technically correct but is still great at intuitively conveying the speaker's meaning

no way, humans are poo poo way more often than they're decent people. if we were a hivemind then everyone would be poo poo and we wouldn't have that small number of decent people to look at to make us feel better about our miserable species

yea most people are alright. but if you treat them wrong, they treat you wrong. it starts with you. show respect get respect. it's easy. if you hate people or think you're better than them or are scared, it's written right across your face. /nerdcounseling

naw actually a lot of people are terrible and will do nasty things to get ahead which is why the hivemind thing would be sweet because when you lose individuality you lose any urge to "get ahead" personally

i'd only do it if it became kind've a Liminal States sort of thing (big ups zack/EPG/whatever  ) and the hivemind sought homogeneity and thus stamped out all the annoying self-entitled thought-minorities that would poo poo up the shared thought poolcontrary to the poster that said SJW wet dream, more like SJW holocaust

Baybay Jesus is supposed to come back any now to slay Satan and take our free will away. Then 1000-year reign of peace until Jehovah himself dies of boredom. I just hope the hivemind keeps us dancin' some tight moves.

I probably wouldn't. On the one hand, knowing everything anyone has ever known is cool. On the other hand, there are things I really don't want to know.
