If the technology arose to allow you to join a hivemind what level of individuality would you need to retain to join the hivemind? (Description of hivemind levels after read more, they wonât fit in the poll, if you feel there is nuance to your answer press the option you feel aligns with your opinion the closest)
Level 1
Level 2
Level 3
Level 4
Level 5
Level 6
Level 7
I would never join a hivemind under any circumstance.
Remaining time: 6 days 7 hours
Level 1: I would join if my individual self became completely dissolved into one singular consciousness, there would no longer be any distinction between me and the hivemind.
Level 2: I would join only if I still retained some awareness of myself as an individual, even if all of my thoughts, feelings, and actions were formed by the overall hivemind.
Level 3: I would join only if I still retained some degree of control over myself, even if I was still at my core connected to the greater hivemind and influenced by it.
Level 4: I would join only if I still retained complete control over myself and actions, with the extent of the hivemind essentially being total sharing of the contents of assimilated minds but without the hivemind being able to exert control over individuals beyond that (we will assume the hivemind technology also gives individuals the ability to process that large of an amount of information)
Level 5: I would join only if I still retained complete control over myself and actions, and could choose what knowledge inside my mind I share with the general hivemind, but could not choose what knowledge I receive from the general hivemind. (I.e you can choose whether or not to send specific thoughts, emotions, or knowledge to everyone, but you will always receive the signals sent out by others)
Level 6: I would join only if I still retained complete control over myself and actions, and could choose what knowledge inside my mind I share with the general hivemind and specific members, but could not choose what knowledge I receive from the general hivemind and specific members. (I.e you can choose to send signals to everyone or just some people, but you will always receive signals sent to you)
Level 7: I would join only if it worked like completely voluntary telepathy, I retain my full individuality and can choose whether or not to send and receive signals to and from other individuals.
Question for people voting âneverâ, why? Level 7 is essentially just your life right now but you can communicate with people much better. What reasons could you have not to do that?

I really wish people didnât treat you pointing out flaws in a leftist argument as you being evil and conservative when you agree with the idea that is being argued for and are just trying to strengthen the claim
I support copyright infringement wholeheartedly. People should pirate things. People should make archives of things. People should use things other people make in their art, people should alter other people's art, people should be able to record and copy and be inspired by other people's art, and nobody should get to have a say in who does and doesn't do this. Especially online.
Online copyright is the capitalist illusion that the binary numbers you shuffle around the Internet are some tangible commodity but it's not. You can copy paste things. Being pro copyright is accepting that the vice grip capitalism has on ppls minds must extend to information and art too.
Its literally just a broader version of NFT logic. If you support copyright you're effectively saying NFTs are real and good
INB4: copyright infringement and plagiarism are 2 different things. so are libel, impersonation, misinformation, and doxxing. before you think of a gotcha situation to retort with, do first consider if it actually falls in one of these categories instead.

Had an idea for the structure of a novel using what I call "first-person transient" point of view. Essentially it's entirely without traditional scene changes, what it will do is it will switch character POVs seamlessly. It would follow the general structure of (First person narration that can only apply to one character in the story) to (First person narration that can apply to multiple characters in the story) to (First person narration that can only apply to a character different from one focused on in the first narration sequence but included in the group in the second narration sequence).
I hate that meme with the two-part taijitu thatâs like âin good there is evil, in evil there is good, there is the balance, then thereâs good, and then thereâs this bitchâ it can be funny thatâs not what it meanssssss thatâs not what Yin and Yang are at all
âIf you like the feeling of Tylenol taking your headache away then you donât really need itâ this is how some of you sound about Adderall and like ten thousand other medications
Last night I woke up from a dream with a great idea for a power for a superhero so I wrote it down in my notes app and when I checked it today this is what I wrote

My enemy has been attempting to make pasta and other such dishes for a couple weeks now and Iâve been hiding in her ceiling watching her pot whenever she does so. Itâs a little annoying but worth it in the long run. I heard her on the phone with a repair technician yesterday, Iâm going to close my eyes while theyâre here.
there's a lot of talk about reading comprehension and one thing i think is the biggest barrier to people on this site getting better at it is simply... rushing. rushing to share something you haven't understood, rushing to have an opinion without taking the time to think about it, rushing to declare that you don't understand something
take these tags, on somebody else's post (condolences pip)
the thing is. this is what i would call an inside thought. nobody would have known you didn't get it if you didn't tell them that. if you recognised that it was important but didn't have the headspace to process it, you can reblog without commentary for others, or to come back to later. or you can save it somewhere and wait until you DO have the capacity to read it over a few more times, ponder it, consider what it might mean, figure out how to understand it, and THEN reblog it
but no. rushing to reblog while it is still opaque. rushing to admit to ignorance rather than spend the time to achieve understanding. perhaps hoping that somebody will break it down for you more simply, though to my mind it was quite simply phrased in the first place. never stopping to take the time first
comprehension is not always instant! sometimes it takes a bit of time for something to percolate after you read it; sometimes you need to read it a few times; sometimes you realise you don't have the context for it and either go and get the context or accept that it's not for you right now
please just simply slow down. you don't always have to respond to everything within a second or two. it is okay if it is not an instantaneous understanding. we all need to get more comfortable with thinking more slowly and more deeply and more carefully, and not letting our instant split second responses drive us all the time, because they are a barrier to genuine reflection
