S1E1: Balancing Individuality versus Hive Mind

  • Summary

  • Pilot episode: A conversation with Lee Weissman aka Jihadi Jew about “I versus We”. Ayn Rand explored it in 1938 in her book Anthem, Roddenberry + Hurley explore it with the Borg. Was Hugh’s existence improved by learning about individuality and by learning that his culture did not allow for such a thing? What does that mean even? We are social creatures and also individuals — we need both I and We. How do we balance individuality versus the hive mind? What does the STTNG Borg Canon tell us about how to answer this question and address the issue of individuality, ie the good of the one versus many, for ourselves in our lives?
