[Semi-OT] Who started Hive Mind theory?

[Ravellion]

It's been a theory for two years, at least! It disappears and pops back up again.

Eh, it's probably been lurking around in my subconscious then. I totally forgot about it, but it seemed to be flowing from my fingers as I typed.

Of course, that might be because I am controlled by the hive mind. I have no free will. That post was predestined. If I make a few more posts like these, I might be deemed defective, and be terminated, or reprogrammed.

Who started Hive Mind theory? Ie the "only five posters exist, the rest are alternative log in names" theory.

[Interpretive mode]

The idea that there are actually only 5 posters who frequent this board, as opposed to 1000+ (or whatever), may stem from the unconscious wish for a smaller, more intimate group that one can join more easily.

Most of us have little experience of belonging to a group of thousands (that has any kind of group identity), and so we don't know how to act in such a huge group. So one reaction is to psychically scale it down to a more manageable and meaningful level.

Silly Rub. You already ARE me. You don't get this Hive mind business do you ?

I knew you were going to say that

No, no, no, you haven't understood...

While we all almost all part of Piratecat's deranged brain, we've developped individual personalities. That means that Magic Rub and Rav are different but independent aspects of the ol' kitty

what about me then?

 

[Horacio]

You're Morrus secret twin, of course...

 

[Crothian]

I think this really needs a flow chart so everyone will be able to tell who they are.

Well, I'll try to draw one tonight and post it tomorrow
