RE: How Far Is the World to Connect to a Hive?
I meant in the perspective an individual gaining such enhancements. To look up facts with a single thought would be trivial. In a sense we would know everything but does a person understand it? As a collective we would. If we take the summation of all of what we know and extrapolate new fundamentals, new understandings of what could be, it could push us closer towards a signularity as we continue to push the boundaries of our understanding with new discoveries day by day. It would be fascinating if we gain such understanding of the universe with a collective mind we become like "the Q" masters of the Continuum.
I would hope technology and furthering our understanding of nature would lead to our immortality and no one would have to die. We would control the cycles of death and rebirth. I really look forward to transhumanism and the general milestones that will lift our civilization and culture. It would be nice to have some degree of a hive mind, it would end all disputes and all the conflicts hopefully overnight. It would also be something if we were as connected with the wildlife of the globle. We would be part of a global entity o.o lol I think I played too much Civilization Beyond Earth. Sorry if my ramblings are off
Nah, they are entertaining and you seem an incurable optimist. So, you're ready to give up your SELF to the hive for the greater (potential) good?
Lol we are Borg. we are the hive ^0^
