Should be: ...Tested for Impaired Cognition
- fhars 1y agoYeah. How could 1950's science fiction be so wrong?
- cbdevidal 1y agoMy stupid butt imagined new mutant superpowered insects like the Brain from Pinky and the Brain
- ghurtado 1y agoWell, to be fair, that's what that stupid title is designed to make you think
- grues-dinner 1y agoShow pitch: Pinky and the Brain but the Brain is a brain bug from Starship Troopers.
- no_wizard 1y agoI was thinking Rachni[0][1] [0]: https://masseffect.fandom.com/wiki/Rachni https://masseffect.fandom.com/wiki/Rachni [1]: origins have to start somewhere
- LargoLasskhyfv 1y agoI thought of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_IV_(1974_film) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_IV_(1974_film)
- layer8 1y agoThey only seem to be testing individual bees though, not the hive mind.
- folkrav 1y agoIs there any scientific basis for some kind of shared collective thought I don’t know about? In other words, what’s the “hive mind” if not the collective result of individual minds?
- lupire 1y agoWhy are they testing a whole brain instead of individual neurons? What is a brain if not the collective result of individual neurons?
- folkrav 1y agoThe comparison only works if the concept of a “hive mind” is as accepted and defined as the concept of a brain, which is quite literally what I was asking.
- collingreen 1y ago"Hive mind" conjures ideas of an omnipresent, all-controlling intelligence to me like startrek's borg, but I think this is more about the idea of a "superorganism" [0] like some bees and most ants where the group exhibits traits and "behavior" and "decisions" as a whole, beyond the ability of any single, specialized individual. Less superintelligence and more emergent behavior and complexity. [0] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superorganism https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superorganism
- AlecSchueler 1y agoChanges in behaviour in the individual level might result in an apparent cognitive decline for that individual, but could still benefit the hive as a whole.
- folkrav 1y agoI was asking about the concept of “hive mind”. Is the concept accepted as a “thing”, has it ever been measured in any way, and if yes, what is it?
