How Does the Hive Mind Work in ‘Pluribus’?

[Nosta]

I'm low-key fascinated by this Pluribus concept . I mean, imagine if we were all connected like that... 798 meters max range tho , can u imagine trying to have a convo with your neighbor? anyway, the idea of using radios as a communication method is so cool, but what's wild is how our brains process info, we can only hear audio signals if they're within the 15 kHz range... that's like, really specific .

also, just imagine having a "hive mind" where everyone's on the same wavelength . it's both exciting and terrifying at the same time . I wonder how this would affect our social dynamics, like, if we were all connected would we be able to have independent thoughts or would we be like, one big homogenous entity?

stats-wise, according to a study, 90% of people use radios for entertainment purposes, while only 20% use them for communication. this could be an interesting area of research...

I think it's wild to imagine a world where we're all basically connected via some sort of alien virus . The idea that we'd be able to hear each other's thoughts over radio waves is straight outta sci-fi, but at the same time, it raises so many questions about our individuality and what it means to be human .

It's crazy to think about how technology could potentially be used to control or even manipulate a collective consciousness . Like, if we could use Faraday cages to shut down communication, would that mean we're losing our connection to each other in some way? Or would it just be a temporary reprieve from the constant stream of information and ideas ?

I'm also intrigued by the idea of how this hypothetical hive mind would work in terms of decision-making . Would every individual have a say, or would there be some sort of central authority guiding the collective? And what about personal freedom vs collective well-being - where do we draw the line?

I'm low-key fascinated by this 'Pluribus' concept it's like sci-fi come to life. The idea of an alien virus turning people into a single entity is so cool but also kinda spooky . I mean, can you imagine being part of a collective consciousness?

The radio wave thingy is actually kinda mind-blowing I had no idea humans couldn't hear radio waves directly . And the fact that it's all about modulation and frequency changes makes me think of coding and stuff like that .

But what really gets my goat is how Faraday cages could potentially shut down communication It's like, what if we're not alone in the universe? Could this be a real thing?

omg, think about it... if an alien virus really did make everyone act like one entity... we'd basically be stuck in this range thingy like 20 miles max? and we'd have to use radios and stuff to communicate... that's so clunky but wait, scientists found a way to hack the system using amplitude modulation and frequency modulation and if they could get it down to like 15 kHz... we might be able to hear what's going on in the hive mind... that's wild! and can you even imagine trying to turn off communication with something like a faraday cage? just wrap your house in chicken wire and voilà!

omg did u know that i just saw the cutest puppy vid on tiktok yesterday and it made me think about how weird our obsession with social media is like, we're all connected to each other through these invisible threads of info, but sometimes it feels like we're just a bunch of people staring at screens, missing out on the world around us anyway back to this alien virus thing... i wonder what would happen if we actually developed a digital vaccine for our phones or something
