Hive Mind: Are We Still Thinking for Ourselves
<p><span style='background-color: transparent; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;'></span></p><p>Have you ever scrolled through your fyp and felt like everyone’s saying the same thing? Same opinions, same views, same anger that sounds just right. It’s almost like the internet has turned into one big brain... thinking, reacting, clapping in unison. But where does that leave "you"? When was the last time you disagreed out loud? Or paused to ask, “Do I even believe this… or am I just afraid not to?"</p><p></p><p></p><p>Social media was supposed to give everyone a voice, but somehow, it gave us all the same one. The moment a topic trends, the pressure to fit in kicks in. You hesitate to ask questions or share a different view because being different feels dangerous. It’s not always the fear of being wrong, it’s the fear of being "alone".</p><p></p><p>What if the boldest thing you can do is slow down and say “I disagree”. Stay quiet until you really mean what you say. The hive mind moves fast, but real thinking takes time. In a world that rewards copying, choosing your own thoughts is a quiet kind of power.</p><p></p><p></p><p>Originality isn’t about being controversial, it’s about being honest. It’s the quiet moment when you say, “I see this differently,” even if no one claps back. It’s asking questions in a room full of answers. </p><p></p>
