This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I believe it's just a view of humanity eventually evolving towards a hive mind that's a single consciousness.
It's not really new. The concept exists in sci fi. First case seems to be in 'The Human Termites' in David H. Keller's 1929 'Wonder Stories' (according to Wikipedia). The specific idea of the flesh nexus is mostly just an evolution of that.
All things considered, that’s incredibly recent. It’s essentially modern folklore, and that’s absolutely fascinating to me. Thank you!
