RE: THINGS ARE BUZZING - We want your input (#HIVE #REBRANDING)
If you think of it as a hive as in hive mind, that is a decentralised community working together in harmony...

a hive mind is not decentralised in my mind - it is a centralised, homogenous blob.
I meant in nature, not in science fiction. I also choose to focus on the positives, but you seem fixated on the potential negatives of a word.
Positivity is mechanically integrative and includes the negative too. 'Positive thinking' is a problem if it includes denials. As a professional digital marketer and systems engineer, I know I need to think of all angles when it comes thinking of a symbol to be used to represent a brand. Blocking out problems with a word will not stop the brand losing optimal placement.
You are probably right. I still think you are over thinking it though. Either way, it will be interesting to watch what happens.
I like hives and I like the idea of working together. I believe in decentralization and centralization, long story. It is very complex as the world has both simultaneously and that is a balance, a mechanism that goes back and forth. It is somewhat impossible for humans to actually have one without the other apart from hypothetical theories and temporary moments in history.
