Implement performance targets for yearly bonuses to motivate employees. Then capriciously apply bonuses without regard to said targets, to keep them guessing.
Continually send work off shore to save money. When employees ask if they can work from home, tell them it's too important to have face to face contact with co-workers.
Reorganize the office layout to put all the desks closer together. Do this despite the fact that recent offshoring has left an entire floor of your building empty.
I'm an autistic. This sounds like hell. When I'm overwhelmed (say, by not being able to be alone for several hours), eye contact is too much. I can only guess at the horror that brain contact would be.
I've had panic attacks in crowds. This sounds like hell...
And so on.
On the one hand, I very much want all the goodies on offer. On the other hand, I would be terrified to join such a group mind if there weren't an 'off button' that let me be ALONE for a while.
But space! Science! Immortality!
NO! My mind would have constant meltdowns in such a state! I couldn't take it!
I think I'd have to drop by my local chemist to pick up the euthanasia pills that would surely be freely available before Group Mind Day, and probably wait until the last possible second before deciding.
]]>Why are there male and female? Why does there have to be sex specialization?
Exchange of genes, I believe, would be necessary for evolution to take place, but why does it have to take place between subtypes X and Y of species Z? What if species Z has all one type, and any two of them can exchange genes?
And all the animals on their planet are one sex. That's how life evolved. What is special about two? It's just what worked here.
]]>All male aliens have a phallus.
All female aliens are valued for their beauty. -- Male humans may find them beautiful as well.
Alien offspring are grown inside the female's body, and fed from the female's body after birth. -- (Occasionally literally, if the offspring kills the mother and devours her at birth as a normal part of the species reproduction.)
The male's primary concern towards his offspring is towards the eldest male, designated his heir. This child will receive one on one tutoring on various subjects. This will nearly always include hand to hand combat. -- Female offspring are currency to buy marriage alliances. This is SpaceFantasyEurope.
