With that in mind, if the hive has access to all the aggregate data of living memory, physically reacting to anger, fear, confusion, as if they're in pain would be a super easy way to coax the remainders into more docile behaviour. 3/3

Like, the people who have family in the hive obviously have more skin in the game when it comes to humanizing them, but the way that they act unobserved is very ant-like and interchangable and that to me suggests a greater level of deindividuation than the remainders might be willing to accept. 2/3
