I was wondering where the downvotes were coming from. I meant to be accurate, not insulting.
I thought that hive-minded accurately described the seeming desire to centralize authority and form a collective, trusting that those in charge had the best interests of society in mind.
- chc 12y agoThe term "hive mind" has connotations of lack of independent thought and disregard for the well-being of individuals. It's the sort of thing you'd use to describe an alien insect species psychically controlled by a central queen in a sci-fi novel. A functioning representative democracy is not the sort of image it evokes.
