Hive mind resistance

If presented with the idea of fusing their minds into one global entity, I expect most people would pass. The loss of identity is enough, but on the whole, each individual tends to believe themselves to be of above average intelligence. If the worldwide pool of intelligence was divided evenly between everyone, then, most people expect they would be worse off. It's possible nobody else is thinking of it that way.

PS - And if we're all part of one mind, "my IQ" is a totally meaningless phrase.
PPS - Unless you mean it corporately.

Not actually about your post, but about the link to the 'My name is Inigo Montoya' shirt.

Hilarious. Best shirt ever.

Apart from 'It's on Now'.

Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya
