Hi guys. Been doing a lot of researching lately (mostly passing the time as I lost my job... again >< ), and have been contemplating the idea that humanity may well be MOST effective (in EVERY way imaginable: productively, socially, ethically, sexually, etc) as a HIVE mind. In which all of us know fundamentally that we are NOT individuals but rather individual CELLS in the collective that is the HUMAN BEING (singular/state).
It seems very possible that we SHOULD be a hive mind (and that this is already the case) because so much of human existence is inescapably fused with social... stuff. I don't know how to name it but look here, on this very board. People looking to get better with women (social) looking to improve their lives for social reasons. It's all social. The more I've gone through AM, the more I've realized that the idea of "being your own man" is an impossible to achieve concept, because I rely on other people without fail. I can't have sex with hot girls by myself. I need the hot girls in order to do that. I can't be an "alpha" without "betas", etc. This kind of unity is seen throughout life, and the more I think of it, the more I realize that this is, most likely, what is f*cking our species up, as a whole. The whole "us vs. them" paradigm is no good, since you can't get them without us, we're both sides of the same coin. A "bad man" is the same as a "good man" biologically. Labels are all that changes things, and I truly am starting to believe it is the labels that are killing us.
MORE so now that we're trying to be more "tolerant" because we're pointing out MORE labels. It's crazy because the more we specify and analyze and make "different" through labels, the more alone (and afraid) we feel. Thus the only way out of it is to reverse the spiral and move towards unity.
Anyway, it's a big discussion, but here's a video that I think provides the doorway:
And then this link is one I stumbled upon today that was cool to read about: http://io9.com/how-much-longer-until-hum...-453848055
Anyone else have any thoughts on this?
