So the signature one doesn't get off topic. Discuss. It's a rather interesting concept, actually. Wikipedia is an example.

EDIT: If you have a strong opinion, please back it up with strong evidence.

ST says it's too broad.

That the hivemind is a fact, not a theory. In people. In bees and ants it exists.

the hivemind is everything
you are a part of it
you are not a freethinker
what you think of as your life is an illusion conjured by the hivemind

WAKE UP

and you have proof against it?
it's very likely to be true, if you were of the hivemind you may not know it
if there was nothing but the hivemind and you existed within it, would it be too unreasonable for you to not know it?

There is no evidence for or against it. Saying it exists does nothing. Saying it doesn't exist does nothing.

you can only have faith in it
if you do not believe you are part of it

can i pull out the "graph as to why you are wrong" again

see now everything makes as much sense as it did before which is none

I don't have faith in something that's not there. @ the graph(s), point to me where it proves the hivemind.

actually it disproves the hivemind when you add all the figures up and divide by the numerator of the square root of point u on part 16

Prove it is.

JUST DISCUSS THE TOPIC! DO NOT FORCE YOUR BELIEFS!

I believe that a collective consciousness exists within not only social insects, but within mainstream society as well.

Some are too blind to stand out and want to blend in and do what others do simply because they're doing it, and therefore "go with the flow".

The greatest mystery though is: if we are a hive mind, then who or what is our hive queen?

Others are radically different. And if we are the mind, we are our own queen.

you dont ask somebody to prove that something isnt there, thats like the idea of being guilty until proven innocent

I guess that makes sense.

If we are not a hive mind, and we are able to think for ourselves, there is no queen...

...but us.

You know, all this gives me an interesting idea for a dystopian story.
