What's the difference between a social memory complex and The Borg?

[Ali Quadir]

Social memory complexes share all thoughts, have no privacy, and all "units" in the complex do the will of the complex.

I will answer with the answers I was given as a child when asking about this. So not strictly from the Law of One.

We are already part of the earth humans social memory complex. Privacy only exists because those we imagine ourselves to be private towards believe in the separation as much as we do. This separation is illusory but still real enough. There are plenty of people who throw one glance at you and know more about you than you'd care to realize. But still to a degree you're closed to them. The point is what they see exists in 6 billion other "individuals". What we hold to be very private is itself a big illusion.

That is the current state of our social memory complex. It's a subconscious social memory complex.

There's many forms of social memory complex. Like I said... Ours is subconscious. We're almost separated from each other. And there are races in whom the connection is complete. They're literally without individuality. They're completely one. Like one mind with a billion bodies. Much like the borg. Only without the assimilation part, they create their own bodies and have always been like that. It is natural and normal to them.

It's interesting to note that those bodies still have to learn things. Like walking and swimming. If you walk or swim you don't really do it. You just tell your body to do it and it does it for you. That "muscle memory" still exists.

Most are inbetween the extremes.
