[quote:Anonymous Coward 1051465:MV8xMTQ2MzcyXzE4NDMyMTk2X0ZFQ0NGQjky] Individuals. There is no progress, without the man or woman brave enough to stand out from the herd! :scream: [/quote]
Original Message
Here's my cases for both:
hive minds are superior
Civilization and culture would probably be impossible without a hive mind. Insects and certain animals almost certainly couldn't function efficiently without a hive mind.
individuals are superior
If it wasn't for individuals we'd probably still be in the stone age. Individuals are the great inventors, artists, and intellectuals who are capable of real innovation and insight. I don't think hive minds are capable of real innovation or insight.
