      Perhaps this is what the great filter is. Any species that’s intelligent, but isn’t a hivemind; dies out via the stupidity of the collective – sure, you can have accumulated knowledge, but if half (being extremely generous in our case) of your entire species is made up of drooling fucking morons that will actively drag the rest of you down, what good is it?
