We are undoubtedly part of one hive mind or another. Probably even several hive minds at the same time. And all are feedback systems, that either feed on positive or negative feedbak to thrive.
But hive minds are limited by nature, they have a certain sphere of influence . And people who are aware of their triggers will soon be aware of which hives they belong to. That also gives them the power to choose which hive mind they want to belong to. I myself go for the largest hive of all, which I call the Grand Overall Design which includes all others, as it allows for maximum freedom.
