Here, we have an example of what perfect collectivism is:
-Bliss: «I am Gaia. And the earth. And those trees. And that rabbit in the grass over there. And the man who can be seen in the trees. The whole planet and everything above it is Gaia. We all share a global awareness, each contributes to the whole. "
Trevize: "If so, Bliss, who rules this world?"
Bliss: "It governs itself," she said. - Those apple trees grow in regular rows by mutual agreement. They reproduce only what is needed to fill the empty spaces left by the trees that die. Humans collect the amount of apples they need, other animals, including insects, eat their share, and only that. It rains when it is necessary. »
Trevize: "Does the rain know what to do?"
Bliss: «Yes»
Trevize thought resignedly that everyone should find happiness as they see fit. This was the purpose of individuality …
«The planet [Gaia], however large and varied, represents a single brain. Only one! Each new brain that is born merges with the totality. There is no possibility to oppose, to disagree!
When we think of human history, we think of the individual who, despite his minority vision condemned by society, ultimately wins and changes the world. "
As Col. Kurtz once said: horror … horror
