Which is superior in nature: individuals or hive minds?

Humanism or collectivism vs natural rights. The rights of the individual, sovereign individual, are supreme to the rights of the collective. The reason being is that the collective rights are always, always, manipulated by a select few for the many. They end up being controllers, manipulators, tyrants and enemies of humanity.

I love that it was someone from China trying to convince us of the glorious benefits of the hive mind.

Yes, everything has its pros and cons, but please, let us not forget which one opens humanity up for substantial abuses of power. Once you have 'control' of the hive mind, who is to say that said control will be used to improve the standard of living of the entire 'hive'???

"superior" is a human invention.
There is no such thing in nature.
There are many cycles.
There is a "web".
And there is constant change, "up" and "down", round and round.
What is "superior" in nature, the photon or the star?
Each has it's purpose and function in the whole picture, or better movie.

What about the concept of survival of the FITTEST? FITTEST sends superior to me?

What means fit?
Do you really believe there is some kind of superior fitness fit for everything?
Fitness is constantly changing.
A shark may be the fittest in a special enviroment but certainly not on land.
Is ebola virus fitter and superior to you because it can kill you?.

There are no "individuals" in nature. There are only species.

You can only exist as an individual in relation to other individuals.

Individuals can only exist in groups.

Most individuals require something like a "society" to survive.

recent studies show human biology is as "hardwired" for care and empathy as violence and ambition.

Alone and without the Hive the individual wouldn't even recognize themselves.

The "individual" can only emerge from the "hive-mind"

Think of the question as if it appears on a spectrum - do you gravitate more toward the hive or the individual?
