@lauren "Resistance is Futile" was proven wrong. But that was probably an honest mistake caused by overconfidence.

@lauren one characteristic is not the best way to judge anything. Brutal honesty from someone who wants to destroy who you are and how you live is not helpful other than to tell you that you need to run faster than they do or have more power to destroy them than they have to destroy your life and freedom.

@I_Like_Books Yeah, but the point of interest is whether or not the Borg are more honest than the Federation.

@lauren When you met the Borg, the introduced themselves and explained exactly why they were there. They were generally very polite megalomaniacs.

@lauren I think the Borg introductions can be used as an outline for beginning professional presentations, much like Inigo Montoya's.

@lauren I've seen so many Borg stories in the last few months that this is what immediately came to mind. And I was confused. https://vinepair.com/booze-news/what-is-borg-explained/

@lauren I've kind of come around to the position that hypocrisy might sometimes be less bad than honest evil. If I want to see myself as a non-asshole, but I sometimes act like an asshole anyway, people might get somewhere by telling me, "Raphael, you're being an asshole. Stop it." That approach won't work if I'm decidedly proud to be an asshole.
