    They kinda set up the other side of it in I, Borg, with how lonely it is away from the collective.

    It's the ultimate comfort, at the cost of ultimate conformism. You are never alone. You face all your thoughts, feelings, fears, problems together with countless others with no shame or social anxiety.
