Seven of nine, Heugh, the kids, I seem to Recall Picard saying it was p nice just not for him. I know everyone reported not liking thr process but the actual state of it has been reported as being mostly pleasant but It has been a while since I seen the episodes.

Yeah, they all speak of "oneness", but again, no one is falling over themselves to get reassimilated.

Even Hugh accepted death over it.

And that's taking into account that the nanites literally rewrite their brain to make them feel that way.

Brainwashing is an orientalist trope so I feel like we are onto something there.

I thought Hugh was depressed about being ripped out of his collective, scared of being infected with a logic virus.
