Unity/ideal self-control; rick/indulgence
The second type of union is a tribute to the Borg in the first contact of Star Trek. The original work has a strong political meaning, symbolizing a political system that completely erases individuality and invades foreign countries.
Unity originally resisted Borg and was positive (the people are scientists), symbolizing that human beings form groups for justice and equality (positive religious content/leftist revolution in the last century), which could have peacefully coexisted with rick (free will), but society After all, the operation of the group is beyond the fantasy of idealists. In order to maintain its own consistency, it begins to suppress individuality, even if it deviates from the original ideal, and eventually falls into the realm of the extreme/Borg.
The branch line is a quarrel between husband and wife, and in the end, the aliens can't stand it. It's quite exciting. One side is the theory of good sex, and the other side is the theory of evil sex, taking care of the theme. Countless times in history, the political practice of superstitious belief in a certain party has brought destruction, but it is impossible for human beings to learn a lesson. In reality, any party can only narrowly focus on a certain point, and maintaining this noisy is the best society that human beings can create at present.
