There is a lot of ground between "hive mind that overrides the self" and "individuality with no connection"

@amphetamine @Ulfra_Wolfe

I've often wanted to write a benevolent take on a Borg-like system.

Vedia Lupae @Ulfra_Wolfe

@woozle @amphetamine

RULE ONE: CONSENT TO JOIN COLLECTIVE

That alone would make a HUGE difference!

@Ulfra_Wolfe @woozle @amphetamine the ability to disconnect if you needed it would be a huge deal, too. I love the concept of a networked mind but I don't think i could live with it 24/7, 365

@Eldritch_Horrorgirl @woozle @amphetamine

Also important.

Though I'd be terrified a fragile member might go individual before suicide, so I'd at least ask for some kind of escort (does not need to be a sapient escort)

@Ulfra_Wolfe @Eldritch_Horrorgirl @amphetamine

I'd want the situation to be that every individual was known and loved by the others (as many as possible), so that there would be plenty of warning if an individual was having emotional difficulty.

@Ulfra_Wolfe @woozle
I agree conceptually, but also am not fond of the idea of someone attempting to end their life, being restrained/incapacitated by some manner of drone, and waking up connected back to the network. There'd have to be a different solution than forcible stopping
Perhaps connecting them via private connection to important or who can help them through the situation?

@Eldritch_Horrorgirl @woozle Yeah, I never meant to imply forcible restraint. But a whimpering dog friend can maybe help.

But yeah, that would be the preferred solution what you said.

Decisions made by consensus.

Freedom to disconnect, informationally and/or physically (as @Eldritch_Horrorgirl suggested).

Even better, material support for individual "sabbaticals" -- send individuals off to explore the cosmos and bring back new experiences and ideas!

I could go on...
