The Borg was a great invention by the Star Trek writers, giving their viewers a lot to ponder. They likely were plugged into some partial "greater truth" than mere fiction.
Human nature is brilliantly adaptable. Some people, for one reason or another, tend to be shunned by society. They might feel bad about that for awhile, but then they move out to a wilderness and find some kind of contentment living away from others. They even will say that they prefer being alone. We live in the 3D with no possibility of being in (or, for now, returning to) a SMC. So we might say that we like our own self identity and prefer that to being part of a group of loving and sharing like-minded selves. When the time comes, though, to (re)join a SMC, I think we will feel a huge relief from pathetic loneliness and embrace the large and wondrous body of close friends.
