I would add, just because we don’t see or experience the hive mind “disagreeing” with itself, doesn’t mean it doesn’t do it. For all we know, the hive mind does discuss, evaluate, disagree, and then land on a positioning in lighting speed. Isn’t that a good thing? Finding the point of consensus and moving forward, rather than being stuck in disagreement for the sake of being different? @Peter Lewis keen for you to weigh in here.

I have so many thoughts on this but a question of this consequence deserves more than a hot take. It’s on my list for the week.
Looking forward to reading this!
