Swarms are not an individual.

  • Swarms are not an individual.
    • Sometimes it's easiest to think about it as an individual, with human-like motivations and interests.
      • An entity that can care about you as an end in and of itself, human to human.
    • But that is an illusion.
    • If the swarm turns on you it reveals itself to be anti-human; unknowable and infinite and unyielding.
    • When swarms attack it is existentially terrifying.
