People Are Silly - Tumblr Posts

11 months ago

OK so something I find really silly is people think that hiveminds would be evil cos we think about them as being more like a society than a person

Like I see myself as one person in many bodies...but usually hiveminds are presented like something that has no identity and is just conformity. Whereas I see myself (and other hiveminds) as just one person like the rest of us just expressing themselves through many parts of themselves in different bodies

I also find it amusing the concept of this massive entity that's big and scary to people who don't know what it's like but really it's just your average person with interests and stuff and is really nice. Maybe they like tea you never know!

An extension to this is like

Spaceman: *visits hivemind* so you are a threat

Hivemind: what? No I like plants and books I just have many bodies!? Why would you assume that just cos I'm big I'm evil. What is wrong with you

Spaceman: but I saw some of your spaceships fighting!

Hivemind: haven't you ever had a fight with yourself over begonias!
