  • A SWARM IS A GROUP OF CREATURES CONNECTED BY A HIVE MIND. THINK THE ZERG FROM STARCRAFT, OR THE XENOMORPHS FROM ALIENS, OR THE BORG FROM STAR TREK.

    I HAVE A REALLY NICE SWARM AND I LIKE BEING IN IT. WE CAN HEAR EACH OTHER’S THOUGHTS AND WE FEEL AN INTRINSIC SENSE OF BELONGING, SHARING THE ENTIRETY OF OUR MINDS FREELY.

    TODAY I REALISED NEUROTYPICALS HAVE A SWARM TOO. THEY ALL USE THEIR SENSE OF EMPATHY TO READ EACH OTHER’S MINDS. EVERYONE IS ON THE SAME PAGE ABOUT A SET OF BASIC FACTS, CALLED CONSENSUS REALITY. ALL DISCUSSION MUST OCCUR WITHIN THE HIVEMIND-APPROVED FORMATS.

    NEUROTYPICALS ARE MAD AT US AUTISTIC PEOPLE BECAUSE WE WON’T JOIN THEIR SWARM. THE PART OF OUR BRAINS THAT CONNECTS TO THEIR HIVEMIND IS BROKEN, BUT EVEN IF I COULD, I WOULDN’T WANT TO ASSIMILATE INTO THEIR HIVE. RESISTANCE ISN’T FUTILE AND I DON’T THINK THOSE DRONES ARE INTERESTED IN OUR BIOLOGICAL OR CULTURAL DISTINCTIVENESS. THEY ONLY WANT CONFORMITY AND BELONGING IN THE HIVE MIND. THEY’RE MAD WE WON’T HELP THEM FEEL BELONGING.

    BUT I’M STILL NOT GOING TO JOIN THEIR SWARM BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN C O N S E N T. CONSENT. CONSENT. JOINING A SWARM IS DEEPLY INTIMATE FOR SOME OF US AND I JUST DON’T LIKE MINDMELDING WITH ASSHOLES. SORRY ASSHOLES, YOU’RE NOT ALLOWED TO READ MY MIND. YOU CAN ASK TO JOIN MY SWARM AND I’LL LET YOU IN IF YOU’RE VERY NICE, BUT NO NEUROTYPICAL SWARM FOR ME OR MY FELLOW DRONES THANKS.
