Are those pros or cons?
We think it’s all pros, it’s a more honest form of existence. Nothing is hidden anymore, and consciousness extends far outside of the false ego complex.

I"M THE JUGGERNATU BITHC YA NOW PWHAT MOTHEAFCKAR
I’m sick and fucking tired of all these motherfuckin’ collectives on this motherfuckin’ plane! 
lol
Okay, now I’m learning something.
Thanks again.
dan~,this is PRECISELY why i’d not revealed this to anyone for years. i’d known this years earlier and had decided telling individuals from hellearth would be impractical.
pretty sweet huh? the dichotomy between have and want continues…
i feel the borg actually thought of it first to be honest…
I stand by the above drunken post. I think what I was trying to say was that a collective species has great potential both for thriving and for disaster. The weakness of the Borg is that they are not very intellectually flexible. A collection of interacting individual minds, on the other hand, always carries the potential for intellectual revolution. We have seen it many times throughout history. A man’s skull is his castle, from which he may bring forth the memes of change. I will not give up the sovereignty of my mind.
In a sense, man is already a collective species with a collective mind. The individuals are neurons and language connects the neurons into one brain. The issue here is not so black and white as ‘should we be a collective or not’: the problem is, how will the collective mind be organized? Could the organization model be very much like society, or is there something better?
we are an individualism. if we were all forcibly telepathically linked,our exuse of inorance of other’s problems would stop. conspiricys and crimes would be exposed to all,it would be outrageous and propaganda would evaporate like a fart.
we would feel each other’s pain and we WOULD respond,because pain is the strongest language us animals can understand.
the borg do have problems,but they are not unifed humans for starters. if a pissed pecard can defeat them, they have to have some weakness.
of coarse the weakness of a collective is seperation,uncertainty and confusion. now think real hard about where the human race is at.
It would be good to have a stronger link of compassion in the human race, but intellectually it is important that ‘we’ as interacting individuals can think in multiple contradictory ways at the same time. This allows for more exploration of the intellectual possibilities for our future. A collective mind would perhaps be less flexible and less able to consider new things, and newly consider old things.
The borg is a horrible holywood misconception.
They used force and intrusion instead of love and unity.
Instantly sharing information with everyone: MORE intellectually flexable. The holyword version was a terrible shitty portrait.
Even an individual can do that. An individual can think and then contradict his thought and change.
You see, that is part of thought itself and would not be lost.
A non collective mind cannot share new ideas very easily and most knowledge is lost then mistakes are repeated trillions of times in a row instead of things not having to be learned again the hard way.
So long as there remains in the mind a flexibility to newly consider old things, to start over from nothing in a new direction, I can support a collective mind. In this way the danger of ‘groupthink’, the systematic blindness to fundamental new possibilities, can be avoided. Einstein was able to rethink the world because he started from a blank slate – Einstein must be allowed in a collective mind.
